Infantry Division Locations

[Stifler's Mom]

Does anybody have a link of where all of these infantry divisions are from?

I keep hearing in news stories about the 4th ID and such but I am curious as to where these men and women are based.

Thanks for you service to all the men and women who haved served or currently are serving this country.

Of the heavy Mech units ...

The 4th Infantry moved from Fort Carson to Killeen (took over the old 2nd Armored OA during the last big reshuffle and is now kicking ass in Northern Iraq.

The 3rd Infantry moved from Bayern Germany (Wurzburg, Schweinfurt, Kitzingen) back stateside to Savannah (Fort Stewart), and has kicked MUCH ass from day one in Iraq.

There are some units from the 1st Cav in Iraq as well, but I don't know who. Hopefully the 1-5 Cav is 'getting some' .

I was at Stewart when the 24ID reflagged as 3ID. When did 4ID move to Hood and did 2AD draw down? When did 3ACR move to Carson and are any other units there? Is 3AD still in Germany?

When did 4ID move to Hood and did 2AD draw down?

The 4th ID moved to Hood in 1996, iirc, when the 2nd Armored was deactivated . I assume they took over the old 2 AD quads and HQ buildings. Wonder if the rice paddy is still there.

When I was there in the mid-80s there was a rumor that the former Division Commander of the 2nd AD was either General Pershing III or General Patton the III, who was a former Infantry Lt. in Vietnam. We always heard that he was a little bit cracked after 'Nam and that he dug up the nice new grass behind HQ to put in a rice paddy, and that he'd sit out there in the evenings and watch the sun go down behind his paddy.
