The 54th Infantry Regiment of the United States Army currently only has one active battalion, which is a Basic Combat Training battalion at Fort Benning. It may or not still be an infantry One Station Unit Training outfit - infantry OSUT used to be exclusive to Fort Benning, but some units since have reverted to non-infantry Basic Combat Training. A friend of mine who went through infantry OSUT in 2/54 in the late 90s tells me the battalion used to be nicknamed "Hell's Kitchen".
As for lineage and honours they carry, its respectable, but nothing which would gain the regiment the fame of more 'prominent' units, such as the 506th PIR. See the related link section for the Wikipedia article on the 54th Infantry Regiment.
