Not in WW2.
Before 1939, each US Army Infantry Division had 4 infantry regiments. This proved to be too large for use on the battlefield. So the size the division was reduced and one regiment was removed. So the 3rd Infantry Regiment could have been part of a Division before then.
However, during WW2 the 3rd Infantry Regiment was not part of an infantry division.
