My dad in WW2. He saw combat as a BAR man in the 10th Division during the Italian
campaign. This photo looks like he just got out of a jeep in a little town somewhere, he was 18 at the time.

Fort Drum. NY
Originally activated as the 10th Light Division (Alpine) in 1943, the division was redesignated the 10th Mountain
Division in 1944 and fought in the mountains of Italy in some of the roughest terrain in the country.

Following the war the division was deactivated, only to be reactivated and redesignated as the
10th Infantry Division in 1948.

The division first acted as a training division and in 1954 was converted to a full combat division and
sent to Germany before being deactivated again in 1958.

Reactivated again in 1985, the division was designated the 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry),
to historically tie it to the World War II division and to also better describe its modern disposition. Since
its reactivation the division and/or elements of the division have deployed numerous times since.

The division has participated in Operation Desert Storm (Saudi Arabia), Hurricane Andrew disaster
relief (Homestead, Florida), Operation Restore Hope and Operation Continue Hope (Somalia),
Operation Uphold Democracy (Haiti), Operation Joint Forge (Bosnia and Herzegovina),
Operation Joint Guardian (Kosovo), and several deployments as part
of the Multinational Force and Observers (Sinai Peninsula). Since 2001, the division and its four
combat brigades have seen over 20 deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan in support
of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, respectively.

This picture (and the many many others) make the thread worth it.
