abstract	The 3rd New Guinea Infantry Battalion (3NGIB) was a battalion of the Australian Army formed in June 1945 in the territory of New Guinea, during World War II, in order to fight against the Japanese. Its soldiers were primarily natives of New Guinea, under the command of Australian officers and NCOs. Formed late in the war the battalion took no part in the allied campaigns in New Guinea, although a few of its members saw service with 2NGIB during the Aitape-Wewak campaign, suffering a number of casualties. 3NGIB had an establishment of about 77 Europeans and 550 native soldiers. The Papuan Infantry Battalion (PIB) along with the 1st and 2nd New Guinea Infantry Battalion were amalgamated to form the Pacific Islands Regiment in November 1944. The 3rd and 4th New Guinea Infantry Battalion joined the regiment in 1945, although 4NGIB was soon disbanded, whilst the 5th New Guinea Infantry Battalion—although authorised—was never raised. The battalion was disbanded in November 1947.
