1st Armored Division


Fort Knox is located at 37°53'34" North, 85°58'29" West (37.892809, -85.974709)[10], along the Ohio River.

Fort Knox is a United States Army post in Kentucky south of Louisville and north of Elizabethtown.
The base covers parts of Bullitt, Hardin, and Meade Counties. It holds the U.S. Army Armor Center,
the U.S. Army Armor School and the U.S. Army Recruiting Command.[1] It is also the site of the U.S.
Bullion Depository and the General George Patton Museum,[2] both located on or near the army post.
Parts of the base in Hardin and Meade Counties form a census-designated place (CDP), which had a
population of 12,377 at the 2000 census.

On May 7, 1940, the 7th Cavalry Brigade took part in the Louisiana Maneuvers at Monroe, Louisiana
that were instrumental in developing the armored division concept. The maneuvers concluded on May
27, 1940, and the brigade returned to Fort Knox on May 31, 1940, and preparations began to expand
the brigade into the 1st Armored Division.
On July 15, 1940, 7th Cavalry Brigade was expanded, reorganized, and redesignated as 1st Armored
Division. 1st Cavalry Regiment was redesignated as 1st Armored Regiment and 13th Cavalry Regiment
was redesignated as 13th Armored Regiment.

The first Order of Battle for the 1st Armored Division was as follows:
1st Armored Brigade
1st Armored Regiment (Light)
13th Armored Regiment (Light)
69th Armored Regiment (Medium)
68th Armored Field Artillery Regiment

On April 15, 1941 The 1st AD sent a cadre to form the U.S. 4th Armored Division("Name Enough") at
Pine Camp, New York.
After completing its organization and equipping, 1st Armored Division trained at Fort Knox, and
then deployed to participate in the VII Corps Maneuvers on August 18, 1941. Once the maneuvers
concluded, 1st Armored Division then moved on August 28, 1941, and arrived at Camp Polk for the
Second Army Louisiana Maneuvers on September 1, 1941. They then moved to Fort Jackson on October
30, 1941 to participate in the First Army Carolina Maneuvers. 1st AD then returned to Fort Knox
on December 7, 1941, but started to prepare for deployment overseas instead of returning to
garrison.

К чести американцев, они очень быстро сделали выводы из успехов германских танковых соединений
в Польше и Франции. 10 июля 1940 г. началось создание бронетанковых войск армии США - Armored
Force, во главе с генералом А. Чаффи (английское слово <armoured> - броневой, бронетанковый -
в <американском> варианте языка пишется <armored>). Спустя пять дней на базе существовавших
танковых и механизированных частей приступили к формированию 1-й и 2-й танковых дивизий
(Armored Division). В состав каждой входили два полка легких танков и один - средних,
разведывательный батальон (Reconnaissance Armored Battalion), мотопехотный батальон
(Infantry Armored Battalion), артиллерийский (Field Artillery Battalion Armored) и
инженерный (Engineer Battalion Armored) батальоны. Формирование дивизий завершили к
лету 1941 г.


The division was organized at Fort Knox, Kentucky, July 15, 1940. It was an experiment in a
self-supporting, permanent fighting unit with tanks as the nucleus. This experiment in a self-
sustaining blitzkrieg force had never been tried before, and the troops necessary for such an
organization were drawn from many army posts.

The two light tank regiments--The 1st and 13th--came from the 7th Cavalry Brigade. The medium
tank regiment, the 69th, was formed from a cadre of the 67th Tank Regiment from Fort Benning,
Georgia. The 6th Infantry Regiment was lifted intact from Jefferson Barracks, Missouri.

The 81st Reconnaissance Battalion was formed from cavalry troops drawn from two posts. The 16th
Armored Engineer Battalion took its personnel from the 47th Engineer Troop and its name from an
inactivated World War I unit. The 141st Signal Company was formerly the 47th Signal Troop. The
47th Medical Battalion was formed from the 4th Medical Troops stationed at Fort Knox.

The 68th Armored Field Artillery Battalion was formed from the 68th Field Artillery Regiment,
and the 27th Armored Field Artillery Battalion was formed from the 19th and 21st Field Artillery
Battalions. The 19th Ordnance and 13th Quartermaster Battalions combined to form the division's
Maintenance Battalion.

When the organization was completed, the division had tanks, artillery and infantry in strength.
In direct support were tank destroyer, maintenance, medical, supply and engineer battalions. But
bringing the division up to its full quota of tanks, guns and vehicles was difficult. Although
new equipment was received almost daily, the division had until March 1941, only nine ancient
medium tanks. Principal armament of the nine was a 37-millimeter gun.

Fort Knox in 1940 was not unlike other army posts in the nation. There were a few minor
differences--the high-crowned overseas cap was worn on the left side of the head, and the few
experimental models of the quarter-ton truck that were then on the post were called "peeps" to
distinguish them from the command car which had always been called a "jeep" by armored men.

To become expert with their newly-acquired tanks, half-tracks and guns, most of the division
attended the Armored Force School at Knox. The students stood reveille at 4 a.m., sat at
attention during class and at 4 p.m. rushed to the nearest Post Exchange for a bottle of beer,
which helped counteract the hot summer weather.

Everyday some unit attacked from the steel observation tower called 'O.P. Six' to capture some
part of a 25 square mile patch of Kentucky brush and gullies. The troops made three-day road
marches, scraped and polished their vehicles for Saturday morning inspections, sweated out the
lines at the bus station and occasionally dropped by Benny's or Big Nell's, the most easily
accessible civilian nightspots.

With more than a year's training behind them, the division left in September 1941, for three
month's maneuvers in Louisiana. Living was tough, in some respects tougher than combat turned
out to be. The weather was uniformly foul. The night driving was hard on the nerves and
dangerous. How necessary the incessant practice was the men did not find out until they reached
the plains of Tunisia a year later.

The day before Pearl Harbor, the division was back at Fort Knox. The beds seemed almost too soft
for sleeping. The draftees, whom the regular army men had looked on as people only a step above
the bugler, had proved themselves as soldiers in the maneuvers. They looked forward to discharges
after their year's service. The regular army men expected furloughs.

But war and soldiering had become a serious business. Training took on a new intensity. The
division was reorganized, and all tanks, both medium and light were put into two armored
regiments, the 1st and 13th. A third armored field artillery battalion, the 91st, was formed,
and the 701st Tank Destroyer Battalion was organized and attached to the division.

A few months later, in March 1942, the division was enroute to the Fort Dix, New Jersey, staging
area under command of Major-General Orlando Ward. General Ward relieved Major-General Bruce R.
Magruder, who had commanded the division since its organization.


On July 15, 1940, 7th Cavalry Brigade was expanded, reorganized, and redesignated as 1st
Armored Division. 1st Cavalry Regiment was redesignated as 1st Armored Regiment and 13th
Cavalry Regiment was redesignated as 13th Armored Regiment.

Training

After completing its organization and equipping, 1st Armored Division trained at Fort Knox,
where it participated in the Technicolor short movie The Tanks Are Coming (as the "First
Armored Force"). It deployed to participate in the VII Corps Maneuvers on 1941-08-18. Once
the maneuvers concluded, 1st Armored Division then moved on 1941-08-28, and arrived at Camp
Polk for the Second Army Louisiana Maneuvers on 1941-09-01. They then moved to Fort Jackson
on 1941-10-30 to participate in the First Army Carolina Maneuvers. 1st AD then returned to
Fort Knox on 1941-12-07, but started to prepare for deployment overseas instead of returning
to garrison.

Service

The 1st Armored Division was ordered to Fort Dix on April 11, 1942 to await their deployment
overseas. The division's port call required them to board the Queen Mary at the New York Port
of Embarkation at the Brooklyn Army Terminal on May 11, 1942. They arrived at Northern Ireland
on May 16, 1942, and trained on the moors until they moved on to England on October 29, 1942.

The 2nd Armored was formed at Fort Benning, Georgia on July 15, 1940, originally commanded by
Major General Charles L. Scott, with Colonel George S. Patton in charge of training. Scott was
promoted to command the I Armored Corps in November of that year, which put Patton, now a
brigadier general, in command of the division. The Division served with the First, Seventh, and
Ninth Armies.
The 2nd Armored was organized as a "heavy" armored division having two armored regiments of four
medium tank and two light tank battalions of three companies each. Along with the 3rd Armored
Division, it retained its organization throughout World War II while all 14 other U.S. armored
divisions were reorganized as "light" armored divisions having three tank battalions, each
consisting of three medium tank companies and one light tank company. Both types had an infantry
component of three mechanized battalions, although the heavy divisions maintained an "armored
infantry regiment" organization.
The core units of the 2AD were the 41st Armored Infantry Regiment, the 66th Armored Regiment,
the 67th Armored Regiment, the 17th Armored Engineer Battalion, the 82nd Armored Reconnaissance
Battalion, and the 142nd Armored Signal Company.

As a "heavy" division, the 3rd Armored possessed two armored regiments totalling four medium tank
battalions and two of light tanks (18 companies) instead of three tank battalions containing both
(12 companies), 232 Medium tanks instead of the 168 allotted a light armored division, and with

The Third Armored Division was organized as a "heavy" armored division, as was its counterpart,
the Second Armored Division aka "Hell on Wheels". Other U.S. armored divisions of the time were
smaller by comparison, since in the judgement of U.S. Military Staff, the large divisions were
so large as to be somewhat unwieldy when maneuvering across the European road systems.
As a "heavy" division, the 3rd Armored possessed two armored regiments totalling four medium tank
battalions and two of light tanks (18 companies) instead of three tank battalions containing both
(12 companies), 232 Medium tanks instead of the 168 allotted a light armored division, and with
attached units numbered over 16,000 men, instead of the normal 12,000 found in the light armored
divisions. Each division type had an infantry component of three mechanized infantry battalions.
The division's core units were the 36th Armored Infantry Regiment, the 32nd Armored Regiment, the
33rd Armored Regiment, the 23rd Armored Engineer Battalion, the 83rd Armored Reconnaissance
Battalion, and the 143rd Armored Signal Company. During World War II, these were organized
operationally into task forces known as Combat Commands A, B and R (Reserve), as in the light
divisions.
In addition to the core units, a number of other units of various kinds were attached to the
division during various operations. As with most American divisions in World War II, the 3rd
Armored suffered heavy casualties, and by the end of the war replacement troops often outnumbered
veterans in the line units.
During 1944 and 1945, the units comprising the Third Armored Division included:

Combat Units:
32nd Armored Regiment
33rd Armored Regiment
36th Armored Infantry Regiment
54th Field Artillery Battalion
67th Field Artillery Battalion
391st Field Artillery Battalion
143rd Signal Company
23rd Armored Engineer Battalion
83rd Armored Reconnaissance Battalion

Headquarters Units:
Headquarters Company, 3rd Armored Division
Service Company, 3rd Armored Division
Division Trains
Supply Battalion
45th Armored Medical Battalion
503rd Intelligence Corps

Attached Units:
643rd Tank Destroyer Battalion (attached 22 December 1944 to 26 December 1944)
703rd Tank Destroyer Battalion (attached 25 June 1944 to 17 December 1944, 2 January 1945 to 9 May 1945)
803rd Tank Destroyer Battalion (attached 25 June 1944 to 2 July 1944)
413th AAA Gun Battalion (attached 7 July 1944 to 16 July 1944)
486th AAA Auto-Weapons Battalion (attached 25 June 1944 to 9 May 1945)

The division was activated on April 15, 1941 at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana. In June 1941, it moved
to Camp Polk Louisiana (now Fort Polk). On 9 March 1942, it came under Army Ground Forces and was
assigned to the II Armored Corps. In July 1942, it was transferred to Camp Young, CA and from
August to October 1942, took part in maneuvers at the Desert Training Center. It left Camp Young
in January 1943 and moved to the Indiantown Gap Military Reservation, Pennsylvania.

World War II

4th Infantry Division was reactivated on 1 June 1940 at Fort Benning, Georgia, under the command
of MG Walter E. Prosser. 4th ID was reorganized to the Motorized Infantry Division TO&E on
1 August 1940. 4 ID was assigned-along with 2d Armored Division, to the I Armored Corps.
4 ID moved to Dry Prong, Louisiana.

Division lineage
Constituted 19 November 1917 in the Regular Army as Headquarters, 4th Division
Organized 10 December 1917 at Camp Greene, North Carolina
Inactivated 21 September 1921 at Camp Lewis, Washington
Activated 1 June 1940 at Fort Benning, Georgia
Reorganized and redesignated 1 August 1942 as Headquarters, 4th Motorized Division
Reorganized and redesignated 4 August 1943 as Headquarters, 4th Infantry Division
Inactivated 12 March 1946 at Camp Butner, North Carolina
Activated 15 July 1947 at Fort Ord, California
Reorganized and redesignated 13 June 1960 as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 4th Infantry Division


June, 1940, when it seemed that no power on earth could stand against the Wehrmacht, the new
4th was activated. It was organized at Ft. Benning, Ga., with the 8th, 22nd and 29th Inf. Regts.;
the 20th, 29th, 42nd and 44th FA Bns; the 4th Engr. Bn., and 4th Special Troops. Later, 12th Inf.
replaced 29th Inf. After training at Ft. Benning, maneuvering in Louisiana and Carolina, the
4th served as the War Department's guinea pig in experiments with motorized divisions.
Gen. R.O. Barton, first Chief of Staff, returned as Division Commander in June, 1942.
Under Gen. Barton's leadership, the 4th shaped up rapidly as a hard-hitting unit.
AFTER packing up for the North African invasion in Sept. 1942, the 4th was squeezed out by
shipping shortages. For the next six months, it set a record as the most frequently alerted
unit in the Army. While the fighting raged in Africa and Sicily and landings were made in
Italy, the division went on training at Camp Gordon, Ga. and Ft. Dix, N.J., waiting impatiently
for its chance.
In Autumn, 1943, the 4th became a straight infantry division, taking its amphibious training at
Camp Gordon Johnston, Fla. After two years of restless waiting, the division sailed for England,
Jan. 18, 1944. At "Sunny Devon," Joes rehearsed Normandy landings time and time again on the beach
at Slapton Sands. D-Day found the 4th ready and raring to go.

The Philippine Division, originally a named rather than numbered U.S. Infantry Division of
World War II, was the core of the United States Army's Philippine Department. On July 31, 1941,
the division consisted of 10,473 troops, mostly enlisted Filipinos, known as the Philippine Scouts.
All of the division's enlisted men, with the exception of the 31st Infantry Regiment, and various
military police and headquarters troops, were Philippine Scouts.
n October 1941, as part of the U.S. Army Forces Far East, plans were made to "triangularize" the
division. The 34th Infantry was detached from the 8th Infantry Division and moved to a port of
embarkation in December 1941, along with two battalions of 105mm field artillery. The Philippine
Division was to have two complete U.S. regimental combat teams in place by January 1942 to provide
General Douglas MacArthur with a modern, trained mobile reaction force, while freeing up Philippine
Scouts for rounding out other units. The outbreak of war in December 1941, however, isolated the
Philippines and prevented implementation of the plan.
(К.И. - 34th Infantry Regiment [San Francisco Waiting to Embark] (Units Enroute To Philippine Islands)

Units of the Philippine Division were on security missions at Manila, Fort McKinley, and Bataan
prior to the declaration of war in the Pacific, 1941-12-08. After undergoing 2 days of bombings,
the Division moved into the field to cover the withdrawal of troops to Bataan and to resist the
enemy in the Subic Bay area.

n order to prepare for war service, 1st Cavalry Division participated in the following maneuvers:
Toyahvale, TX Maneuvers - 7 October through 30 October 1939.
Cravens-Pitkin Louisiana Maneuvers - 13 August through 24 August 1940.
Second 3rd Army Louisiana Maneuvers - 10 August through 4 October 1941.
VIII Corps Louisiana Maneuvers near Mansfield, LA - 27 July 1942 - 21 September 1942.


1st Cavalry Division retained its square configuration after the 1941 maneuvers, but with
modifications. The division lost its antitank troop, the brigades their weapons troops, and
the regiments their machine gun and special weapons troops. These changes brought no decrease
in divisional firepower, but placed most weapons within the cavalry troops. The number
of .50-caliber machine guns was increased almost threefold. In the reconnaissance squadron,
the motorcycle and armored car troops were eliminated, leaving the squadron with one support
troop and three reconnaissance troops equipped with light tanks. These changes increased the
division from 11,676 to 12,112 officers and enlisted men.

7 Dec 41 - 1st Cav Div, (act 12 Sep 21 Ft Bliss, Tex), with hq Ft Bliss, engaged in patrols
and surveillance of Mexican border.

On 20 August 1921, as a result of lessons learned from World War I, the US Army Adjutant General
constituted the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Divisions to meet future mobilization requirements. As
organized, 2nd Cavalry Division was to be an Integrated division.

Note: The 2nd Cavalry Division never saw combat and was broken up in early 1944 to form service and engineer units.







Placed on the rolls of the Army in 1921, the 2nd Cavalry Division was not activated until April
1941. As part of the Protective Mobilization Plan, the division was reserved for activation at
Fort Riley, Kansas, but due to manpower constraints it never reached full strength. The 2nd
received the appropriate number of cavalry regiments, but units providing the organic support
and service troops remained unfilled. The first divisional activations came in October 1940,
with the organization of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade and the assignment of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment
and 14th Cavalry Regiment. The 4th Cavalry Brigade activated during February 1941 with the 9th
Cavalry Regiment and 10th Cavalry Regiment as its cavalry regiments. These last two regiments,
the only two available for assignment, were black units. The division, therefore, was unique to
Army structure at that time, a racially mixed unit.
Split between Fort Riley and Camp Funston, Kansas, neither post having adequate facilities for
the division's horse cavalry, personnel shortages continued and divisional elements were activated
using provisional assets. General Milliken, the 2nd Cavalry Division commander in June 1941,
envisioned a combined use of mechanized and horse cavalry within the division. During July,
Troop A, 2nd Reconnaissance Squadron, was formed provisionally as a mechanized divisional
element. The division, now organized with horses, scout cars, jeeps and motorcycles, spent
most of the rest of the summer training with its new equipment.

1st Infantry Division (US Army)

The 1st Infantry Division of the United States Army (nicknamed The Big Red One after its shoulder
patch[2] and The Fighting First[2]) is the oldest division in the United States Army.[2][3] It has
seen continuous service since its organization in 1917


On October 7, 1920, the 1st Division organized under the peacetime TO&E, which included two organic
infantry brigades of two infantry regiments each, one engineer regiment; one observation squadron;
one field artillery brigade of two Field Artillery Regiments; one Medical Regiment; one Division
Quartermaster Train; and a Special Troops Command replacing the remainder of the division Train.
The total authorized strength of this TO&E was 19,385. 1st Division was one of three Infantry
Divisions and one Cavalry Division that was authorized to remain at full peacetime strength,
and it was the only Regular Army division assigned to the Second Corps Area, which also included
the 27th Infantry Division of the New York National Guard; the 44th Infantry Division of the New
Jersey, New York, and Delaware National Guards; the 21st Cavalry Division of the New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and New Jersey National Guards; and the 77th, 78th, and 98th
Infantry Divisions and the 61st Cavalry Division of the Organized Reserves. This was the
organization that existed in the Second Corps Area for the duration of the peace period.

1st Division adopted a new peacetime TO&E in preparation for war on January 8, 1940, which
included three infantry regiments, one military police company, one engineer battalion, one
signal company, one Light Field Artillery Regiment of three Field Artillery Battalions and
one Medium Field Artillery Regiment of two Field Artillery Battalions, one Medical Battalion,
and one Quartermaster Battalion. The authorized strength of this TO&E was 9,057 officers and
enlisted men. 1st Infantry Division reorganized again on November 1, 1940 to a new TO&E, which
added a Reconnaissance Troop, and organized the two Field Artillery Regiments into a Division
Artillery Command, and beefed up the strength to a total Authorized Strength of 15,245 officers
and enlisted men.

World War II
The 1st Division started preparing for World War II by moving to Fort Benning, Georgia on
November 19, 1939, and ran its personnel through the Infantry School. It then moved to the
Sabine Parish, Louisiana area on May 11, 1940 to participate in the Louisiana Maneuvers. They
then returned to Fort Hamilton on June 5, 1940 then to Fort Devens, Massachusetts on
February 4, 1941. The Division was sent to both Carolina Maneuvres of October and November 1941
then moved to Samarcand, North Carolina. On December 6, 1941, the 1st Division returned to Fort
Devens, Massachusetts and was later transferred to Camp Blanding, Florida on February 21, 1942
where it was re-designated 1st Infantry Division on May 15, 1942. The 1/ID moved then to Fort
Benning, Georgia on May 22, 1942, and to Indian Town Gap Mil Reservation on Jun 21, 1942. The
Division departed New York Port of Embarkation on August 1, 1942, arrived in (Beaminster) Dorset
England on August 7, 1942 and assaulted in North Africa on November 2, 1942.

2nd Infantry Division (US Army)


The 2nd Infantry Division was first constituted on 21 September 1917 in the Regular Army.[2]
It was organized on 26 October 1917 at Bourmont, Haute Marne, France

Upon returning to the United States, the division was stationed at Fort Sam Houston, at San
Antonio, Texas as one of three divisions to remain intact and on Active Duty for the entire
interwar period. It remained there for the next 23 years, serving as an experimental unit,
testing new concepts and innovations for the Army. In 1940 the 2nd Infantry Division was the
first command reorganized under the new triangular concept, which provided for three separate
regiments in each division. Indianhead soldiers pioneered concepts of airmobility and anti-tank
warfare, which served the army for the next two decades on battlefields in every corner of the
globe.
2ID started taking part in maneuvers at Christine, Texas between 3 January and 27 January 1940.
It then moved to Horton, Texas for maneuvers from 26 April to 28 May 1940, followed by maneuvers
at Cravens, Louisiana from 16 August to 23 August 1940. It returned to Fort Sam Houston, where it
continued training and refitting, until it moved to Brownwood, Texas for the VIII Corps Maneuvers
from 1 June through 14 June 1941 at Comanche, Texas. The division was then sent to Mansfield,
Louisiana from 11 August through 2 October 1941 for the August-September 1941 Louisiana Maneuvers.
2ID was transferred to the VIII Corps Louisiana maneuver Area on 27 July 1941, and remained there
until 22 September 1942, whereapon the 2ID returned to Fort Sam Houston. They then moved to Camp
McCoy at Sparta, Wisconsin on 27 November 1942. Four months of intensive training for winter
warfare followed. In September 1943 the division received their staging orders, and moved to
the Camp Shanks staging area at Orangeburg, New York on 3 October 1943, where they got their
Port Call orders. On 8 October the division officially sailed from the New York Port Of
Embarkation, and started arriving in Belfast, Northern Ireland on 17 October. They then moved
over to England, where they trained and staged for forward movement to France.
