The US Army's 3rd Infantry Division had more men killed and wounded than any other US division, Army or Marine, by wide margin. The 3rd ID had more than 6600 men killed and 27,000 wounded, with a Table of Organization strength of under 15,000 at full strength. This division saw more action than probably any other US formation, with the possible exception of the 1st Infantry Division. The 1st ID had the second highest number of men killed in any US division - around 5100. The 3rd ID, as a result of its prolonged exposure to intense combat, also had far more Medal of Honor winners than any other US outfit - 38, out of only about 460 awarded in all branches, among the sixteen million American who served. One of the Marine divisions was second on this list with 21.
