The 90th is near and dear to my heart. While I cant speak specifically in regards to the 537th (my grandfather was in the 359th), I can say that many of my answers came from John Colby's book War From The Ground Up.
The 105th field artillery of the 27th NY National Guard served under the 33rd Division and the 79th Division during WWi. The entire 52nd Field Artillery Brigade of the 27th was detached at the beginning of their tour, and never served with their Division. Instead, they were in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive under the French and then American Armies.
Usually if a soldier said he was in 'the 27th Infantry" he was referring to his regiment. The 27th Infantry was one of the three infantry regiments in the 25th Infantry Division. The 25th ID was in Hawaii, at Schofield Barracks, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The Japanese also strafed Schofield Barracks and bombed a mess hall at Schofield Barracks. The 25th ID went on to fight on Guadalcanal and Luzon, in the Philippines. The shoulder patch of the division is in the shape of a taro leaf, in red, with a yellow lightening bolt on it. Its nickname is "Tropic Lightning" or the "Pineapple Division", because some of its units were drawn from the old Hawaiian Division. The 25th ID also served in Korean and Vietnam.Sometimes civilians will refer to an infantry division the same way a soldier did his regiment, in which case they will say "the 27th Infantry" when the really mean the 27th Infantry Division. There is a 27th Infantry Division, and in peacetime it is the New York National Guard. The 27th ID served in France in WWI and elements of it served in the Pacific in WWII, on Saipan and Okinawa.

None. The 34th "Red Bull" Infantry Division served in North Africa and all during the Italian Campaign. They were first attached to the II Corps and later to the IV and maybe VI Corps. The V Corps took part in the D-Day landings at Normandy. They were part of the 1st Army for awhile, then the 3rd Army and finally the 7th Army. However the 5th Army did serve in Italy and the 34th Infantry Division served under its command.
26th Infantry Division was named the "Yankee Division" and their shoulder patch was a khaki Diamond with blue letters "Y D". This infantry division served in France and Germany. A typical WW2 infantry division contained about 15,000 men at full strength. It contained 3 Infantry regiments and 4 artillery battalions as well as support units such as Medial, Engineering, QuarterMaster and Signals.
I found this information while doing an internet search. After being sent to the pacific theatre, the unit found itself engaged in combat in the Philippines where it served honorably and won the Philippine Presidential Unit Citation. It was on the Philippines where the 163d Field Artillery helped the 38th Infantry Division earn its nicknames, the" Avengers of Battaan" and the Cyclone Division. It was at this time the former elements were reorganized and redesignated as the 163d Field Artillery, a parent regiment under the Combat Arms Regimental System, to consist of the 1st Battalion, and element of the 38th Infantry Division.
Answer The 141st Field Artillery Battalion was part of the 36th "Texas" Infantry Division. If you research books and links related to the 36th Infantry Division, this will provide details of the artillery units as well. I do not think the 36th Infantry Division fought at the Battle of the Bulge. It may be possible that the artillery battalion was detached from this division and loaned to another unit.

You can find a list of those who served in the 77th infantry division in a book entitled, "Ours To Hold It High."

No. Howard Stern jokingly says that he served in the 25th Infantry Division towards the end of war in Vietnam in 1973. He has never served in the military.
He attended and graduated from Ranger School, but he never served in a Ranger unit. He was a helicopter pilot in the 8th Infantry Division.
