Wasn't the 1st Infantry demobilized? I thought one division "demobilized" and then another division took its name. I can't recall all the details.

The 3rd ID was moved from Germany to FT. Stewart and the 24th ID was demobed and the 3rd stood up in its place.

9th ID Motorized Ft Lewis Washington 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ID's are all still active. 3ID was deactivated in Europe, and 24th was re-flagged as 3ID at the same time. So 24ID was deactivated, while 3ID technically remained active, and redeployed from Europe to US, so to speak. |

More than Divisions were axed. I'm now affiliated with a deactivated unit. The 4th Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division no longer exists.
 We were a decorated unit as a result of Operation Just Cause. |

I've talked to people who went to NPGS in Monterrey CA, and they said Fort Ord was pretty much shut down, except for the housing they were living in. Looks like the 3rd AD was demobilized in 1992, Link |

Fort Ord is now the California State University at Monterey Bay.
About 750 acres of Fort Ord, including three housing areas and the post exchange and commissary, was annexed to the Presidio of Monterey. They serve the Defense Language Institute, the Naval Postgraduate School and the Coast Guard station.

177TH Armored Brigade Heavy Separate was deactivated and replaced with the 11Th ACR at Ft Irwin, Ca. Every unit I was ever in has been deactivated, bummer!

7th ID is still around... It's made up of 3 seperate National Guard Brigades(OK, AR, & OR) & based out of Ft. Carson, CO. My buddy, "Shawn", is a sniper(remember the pictures I'd post from time to time?) in the 45th Infantry Brigade here in Oklahoma and was deployed to Asscrackastan for 6 months... He's home now, BTW. The experienced really changed him...he's a different person these days. More mellow...he said he saw a lot of things he sure didn't want to see, and I can't get him to talk much about what he did over there. |

It's not just Divisions that were deactivated. There were Brigades deactivated within Divisions that remained. So the Divisions that were left were smaller. There were also small but important units deactivated. The intelligence branch guys might be able to tell you about some of the special units they lost that hindered us later. As the draw down hit Germany in the '90s, multi-million dollar facilities were built at units just before they were closed, while units that were not closed had to wait for their new construction projects. If you were getting a new PX, Exchange, or housing, chances were your post/base was going to be closed within a year or even a few months. If you had ratty old facilities, you were going to be around for a while. It made no sense. |
