The 24th Infantry Division (Mech) was initially activated at the Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, on March 1, 1921, as the "Hawaiian Division." The "First to Fight" division was among the first divisions to see combat in World War II, later adopting the nickname "Victory Division" because of its victories in the South Pacific.
