The 82nd Airborne Division was a paratrooper division and therefore it was smaller than the typical Infantry Division. A paratrooper division were authorized to have about 9,000 men in its organization whereas an Infantry Division had 15,000 men.

The US 1st Infantry Division and the US 29th Infantry Division (Virginia-Maryland National Guard).
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. So the size the division was reduced and one regiment was removed. So the 3rd Infantry Regiment could have been part of a Division before then. However, during WW2 the 3rd Infantry Regiment was not part of an infantry division. Source: http://www.custermen.com/ItalyWW2/ArmyOrg/OrgChart/Divisions.htm
