The 106th Infantry Division was never in the US 7th Army. From north to south in Europe there was the 21st Army Group of Montgomery, the British and Canadians, then the 12th Army Group of Omar Bradley, which was the 9th, 1st, and 3rd US Armies, in that order north to south. South of 12th Army Group was the 6th Army Group of Jacob Devers, the 7th US Army the French 1st Army.
The 106th ID got to France in November and was assigned to 1st Army. The Division was one of those smashed in the initial onslaught of the Battle of the Bulge, but rallied and continued to fight.
After mid-March 1945 the 106th ID was in the newly activated 15th US Army, which did not have a place in the line, and was involved more in operating POW camps and keeping enclaves of Germans left to wither on the vine in French coastal cities contained.

∙ 12y agoThe 106th Infantry Division received its final training at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, before being shipped directly to the front lines. Supposedly into a "Safe" area to complete its training, it ended up being the location of Germany's final thrust, and became known as the "Battle of the Bulge". More than 8,000 casualties were suffered, with one entire regiment surrendering, in what would be come the largest surrender of US forces.
Following the destruction of the German forces, the 106th was re-organized and guarded thousands of German POWs, along with other battle involvement.

Not in WW2. Before 1939, each US Army Infantry Division had 4 infantry regiments. This proved to be too large for use on the battlefield.
