The 148th Regiment is a unit of the Ohio National Guard. The years 1921 to 1940 constituted a period of rebuilding and peacetime service. The 148th was called to duty at Sandusky, Ohio following a destructive tornado in 1924 and at Cincinnati during the disastrous flood of 1937. The Guard of Honor at the funeral for President Warren G. Harding included men of the 148th. When strikes taxed the efforts of civilian authorities, the 148th was called to help maintain peace and protect property. During the 1930's Seaforth officers were invited to attend manoeuvres of the 161st Infantry Regiment of the Washington National Guard. American officers were invited by the Seaforths to attend their summer camps at Vernon and Sidney. The State of Washington elements reorganized on 1 January 1921 in the Washington National Guard as 161st Infantry; assigned to the 41st Division.
