7th Infantry Division

U.S. Army

The 7th Infantry Division is a unit of the United States Army based out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington. It was first activated in 1917 during World War I and has since participated in numerous conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, and the Iraq War. The division is known for its iconic Indian head patch and motto of "Bayonet Division." Today, the 7th Infantry Division remains a key element of the US Army's force structure and is ready to deploy in support of national security objectives.

**BASIC CAMP** is an introductory military training program designed primarily for college students interested in joining the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) in the United States. Established to provide essential foundational skills, Basic Camp typically takes place during the summer at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The course covers basic soldiering skills, leadership development, and team-building exercises, preparing cadets who did not participate in ROTC during their first two college years to enter advanced ROTC training. Over the years, Basic Camp has played a vital role in commissioning well-prepared officers into the U.S. Army by instilling discipline, confidence, and core military values.
