  1. I also know Benning has them

    and the ones listed above.


  2. The 10th Mountain Division, 25th Infantry Division, 82nd Airborne Division, and the 101st Airborne Division are all considered light infantry.

    The 1st Armored Division, 1st Cavalry Division, 2nd Infantry Division, 3rd Infantry Division, and 4th Infantry Division are considered mechanized infantry.

    The 75th Ranger Regiment is also considered light but they are a part of U.S. Army Special Operations Command.

    The divisions are giving way to primary units going down to the Brigade Combat Team level. I believe a goal of the Army's restructuring is to have the BCTs "plug and play compatible" so that a BCT from the 3rd ID can be interchanged with a BCT from the 82nd Airborne and have the same capabilities. Therefore, the "light divisions" are getting Strykers and they are all technically mechanized. We just don't march across the countryside like we did 40 years ago on a regular basis.

  3. Fort Drum and Fort Polk....I am sure its more, but those are the ones I know for sure

  4. None comrade...or is it Abdul?

  5. The 10th is the only active "Light" Division. The 7th exists in the Guard across 3 states based out of Ft. Carson. The 75th Rangers are also "Light" but a bit "special" when it comes to deployment and spread across 3 parts of the country WA, GA and (senior moment). If there are any "Light"  Seperate Regiments/Brigades I missed them looking up answers for the kids.

    In addition, a more recent vet would surely know better, the way the Divisons are set up now there may be some "Light" Brigades in there too. As an example the 4th Brigade of the 25th is Airborne and in Alaska.
