3rd Brigade, 24th Infantry Division

The 24th Infantry Division was aninfantrydivisionof theUnited States Army. Before being

deactivated in October 2006, it was based atFort Riley,Kansas.

Formed during World War II from the disbandingHawaiian Division, the division saw action

throughout the Pacific theater, first fighting inNew Guineabefore landing on thePhilippineislands

ofLeyteandLuzon, drivingJapaneseforces from them. Following the end of the war, the division

participated in occupation duties in Japan, and was the first division to respond at the outbreak of

theKorean War. For the first 18 months of the war, the division was heavily engaged on the front

lines withNorth KoreanandChineseforces, suffering over 10,000 casualties. It was withdrawn from

the front lines to the reserve force for the remainder of the war, but returned to Korea for patrol duty

at the end of major combat operations.

After its deployment in the Korean War, the division was active in Europe and the United States

during theCold War, but saw relatively little combat until thePersian Gulf War, when it faced

theIraqimilitary. A few years after that conflict, it was inactivated as part of the post-Cold War U.S.

military drawdown of the 1990s. The division was reactivated in October 1999 as a formation for

training and deployingU.S. Army National Guardunits before its deactivation in October 2006.

History[edit]

Hawaiian Division[edit]

Main article:Hawaiian Division (United States)

The 24th Infantry Division traces its lineage to Army units activated in Hawaii. It was activated under

theSquare Division Table of Organization and Equipment(TO&E) on 1 March 1921 as theHawaiian

DivisionatSchofield Barracks,Oahu.[1]The division insignia is based on thetaroleaf, emblematic of

Hawaii.[1]

The division was assigned the21st Infantry Brigade[2]

and the22nd Infantry Brigade, both

of which had been assigned to the US 11th Infantry Division prior to 1921 .[3]

The entire Hawaiian Division was concentrated at a single location during the next few years,

allowing it to conduct more effectivecombined armstraining. It was also manned at higher personnel

levels than other divisions, and itsfield artillerywas the first to be motorized.[4]

Between August and September 1941, the Hawaiian Division's assets were reorganized to form two

divisions under the newTriangular Division TO&E. Its brigade headquarters were disbanded and the

27th and 35th Infantry regiments were assigned to the new25th Infantry Division.[4]

7/28/2019 24th Infantry Division

5/7

Division headquarters was redesignated as Headquarters, 24th Infantry Division on 1 October

1941.[1]

The 24th Infantry Division also received the Hawaiian Division'sShoulder Sleeve Insignia,

which was approved in 1921.[5]

The division was centered around three infantry regiments: the19th Infantry Regimentand the21stInfantry Regimentfrom the Active duty force, and the299th Infantry Regimentfrom theHawaii

National Guard.[6]Also attached to the division were the13th Field Artillery Battalion, the 52nd Field

Artillery Battalion, the 63rd Field Artillery Battalion, the 11th Field Artillery Battalion, the 24th Signal

Company, the 724th Ordnance Company, the 24th Quartermaster Company, the 24th

Reconnaissance Troop, the 3rd Engineer Battalion, the 24th Medical Battalion, and the 24th Counter

Intelligence Detachment.[6]

World War II[edit]

The 24th Infantry Division was among the first US Army divisions to see combat in World War II and

among the last to stop fighting. The division was onOahu, with its headquarters atSchofield

Barracks, when theJapaneselaunched theirAttack on Pearl Harboron 7 December 1941 and the

unit suffered some casualties during the attack.[7]

Among these casualties were Sgt. Paul J. Fadon

(killed in a truck 10 miles north of Schofield Barracks), Pvt. Walter R. French, Pfc. Conrad Kujawa,

Pvt. Torao Migita (killed by friendly fire in downtown Honolulu),[8]

and Cpt. Theodore J. Lewis (who

became the 24th Infantry Division's first soldier killed during WWII). The division was then charged

with the defense of northern Oahu, where it built an elaborate system of coastal defenses throughout

1942.

[7]

In July 1942, the 299th Infantry Regiment was replaced by the 298th Infantry Regiment. One

year later, this regiment was replaced by the34th Infantry Regimentfrom the Hawaiian Department

Reserve. The 34th Infantry remained with the 24th Infantry Division until the end of the war. As an

active component unit, the 34th was easier to deploy than the reserve component units, which were

less trained.[6]

Indonesia[edit]

In May 1943, the 24th Infantry Division was alerted for movement to Australia, and it completed the

move to Camp Caves, nearRockhampton, on the eastern coast of Australia by 19 September 1943.

Once deployed, it began intensive combat training.[9]After training, the division moved

toGoodenough Islandon 31 January 1944, to prepare forOperation Reckless, the amphibious

capture ofHollandia,Netherlands New Guinea(nowJayapura,Papuaprovince,Indonesia).[10]

The 24th landed atTanahmerah Bayon 22 April 1944 and seized the importantHollandia

Airdromedespite torrential rain and marshy terrain.[9]

Shortly after the Hollandia landing, the

division's 34th Infantry Regiment moved toBiakto reinforce the41st Infantry Division. The regiment

captured Sorido and Borokoe airdromes before returning to the division on Hollandia in July.[9]

The

41st and 24th divisions isolated 40,000 Japanese forces south of the landings .[11]

Despite resistance

from the isolated Japanese forces in the area, the 24th Infantry Division advanced rapidly through the

region.[10]

In two months, the 24th Division crossed the entirety of New Guinea.[12]

the

division landed atMindanaoon 17 April 1945 and cut across the island toDigosuntil 27 April,

stormed intoDavaoon 3 May, and cleared Libby airdrome on 13 May.[9]

Although the campaign

officially closed on 30 June, the division continued to clear up Japanese resistance during July and

August 1945.[9]

The 24th Infantry Division patrolled the region until the official surrender of

Japanended the war. On 15 October 1945 the division left Mindanao for occupation duty on

mainland Japan.[9]

Four soldiers were awarded theMedal of Honorduring their service with the 24th Infantry Division

Occupation of Japan[edit]

After the end of the war, the division remained on mainland Japan. It occupiedKyshfrom 1945

until 1950.[22][23]

During this time, the US Army shrank. At the end of World War II it contained 89

divisions, but by 1950, the 24th Infantry Division was one of only 10 active divisions in the force .[24]

It

was one of four understrength divisions on occupation duty in Japan. The others were the1st

Cavalry Division,7th Infantry Division, and25th Infantry Division, all under control of theEighthUnited States Army.

[25][26]The 24th Division retained the 19th, 21st, and 34th regiments, but the

formations were undermanned and ill-equipped due to the post-war drawdown and reduction in

military spending.[22]

Korean War[edit]

On 25 June 1950, 10 divisions of theNorth Korean People's Armylaunched an attack into

theRepublic of Koreain the south. The North Koreans overwhelmed theSouth Korean Armyand

advanced south, preparing to conquer the entire nation.[27]

The UN ordered an intervention to prevent

the conquest of South Korea. U.S. PresidentHarry S. Trumanordered ground forces into South

Korea. The 24th Infantry Division was closest to Korea, and it was the first US division to

respond.[27]

The 24th Division's first mission was to "take the initial shock" of the North Korean

assault, then try to slow its advance until more US divisions could arrive .[23]
