U.S. Army

The 2nd Infantry Division, also known as the "Indianhead Division," was formed in 1917 and first saw combat in World War I, participating in key battles such as Belleau Wood and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. During World War II, the division landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day+1 and fought across France, Belgium, and into Germany. In the Korean War, the 2nd Infantry Division was one of the first U.S. units to arrive and played a critical role in defensive actions and offensives throughout the conflict. Today, the division remains forward-deployed in South Korea, serving as a key component of the United States’ commitment to the defense of the Korean Peninsula.

The 2nd Infantry Division HHC2X serves as the Headquarters and Headquarters Company for the 2nd Infantry Division, a storied formation in the United States Army. Historically, the 2nd Infantry Division has played pivotal roles in major conflicts including World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and deployments in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The HHC2X element provides critical command, control, and administrative support to ensure the operational effectiveness of the division. Through its leadership and coordination functions, HHC2X continues to uphold the proud legacy and mission readiness of the 2nd Infantry Division in contemporary military operations.
