The 2d Infantry Division has a proud and honorable history which reflects the heart of the American Soldier. Having fought in four wars, the 2d Infantry Division is one of the most decorated Divisions in the United States Army. It boasts 40 Medal of Honor recipients, and over 20 campaign participation credits. The 2d Infantry Division is the last permanently forward-stationed division in the U.S Army. As part of the great ROK-U.S Alliance, the Division’s mission is to deter aggression, and if deterrence fails, ensure it is ready to “Fight Tonight” to defend the Republic of Korea. Forged during the Korean War, the great ROK-U.S. Alliance is an equal partnership committed to the strong defense of Korea. Today, the 2d Infantry Division patch is spread out across the world. On 3 June 2015, The ROK-U.S Combined Division was activated in order to improve the abilities of Combined Operations. The ROK 16TH Mechanized Brigade, partnered with the Combined Division, accumulates expertise in combined warfare and the Warriors of the 2D Infantry Division/ROK-U.S Combined Division stand ready – to “Fight Tonight!”
