4th Infantry

The 4th Infantry Division, known as the "Ivy Division," was first activated in 1917 and participated in major campaigns during World War I, including the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. During World War II, the division famously landed at Utah Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944, playing a critical role in the Normandy invasion and the subsequent liberation of France. In the Vietnam War, the 4th Infantry Division conducted extensive combat operations in the Central Highlands. In the 21st century, the division has served multiple deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, continuing its legacy as one of the U.S. Army’s most storied and decorated units.
