25th Infantry Division. The headquarters is at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.
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.

In 1950, the 1st Cavalry, 1st Marine, 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 24th, 25th Infantry Divisions deployed to Korea In 1952, the 1st Cavalry and 24th Infantry Divisions returned to Japan and were replaced by the 40th and 45th Infantry Divisions, both National Guard By 1954, all had returned to the US except the 7th Infantry Division, which coverted the Chorwon Valley approach to Seoul. The 24th Infantry Division returned from Japan that year and was stationed in the Munsan-ni Corridor In 1957, the 1st Cavalry Division replaced the 24th Infantry Division. In 1965, the 2nd Infantry Division replaced the 1st Cavalry Division. In 1971, the 7th Infantry Division was inactivated, leaving only the 2nd Infantry Division in place. It remains there to this day, although only its 1st Brigade Combat Team remains there and the rest of the division is at Ft Lewis Karl Lowe I'd just like to know how many divisions are currently in south Korea at this present time?
