Early Cold War - Gyroscope and inactivation edit

Reincarnation as light infantry division edit

Lineage edit

  • Constituted in the Regular Army on 28 May 1930 as Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 10th Field Artillery Brigade, assigned to the Panama Canal Division, and allotted to the Panama Canal Department
  • Consolidated on 12 October 1936 with the 10th Field Artillery Brigade, 10th Division (a World War I unit organized in August 1918 at Camp Funston, Kansas; demobilized in February 1919 at Camp Funston; reconstituted on 12 October 1936)[2]
  • Constituted 27 August 1942 in the Army of the United States as Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, Mountain Training Center Artillery
  • Activated 5 September 1942 at Camp Carson, Colorado
  • Reorganized and redesignated 15 July 1943 as Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 10th Light Division Artillery
  • Reorganized and redesignated 6 November 1944 as Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 10th Mountain Division Artillery
  • Inactivated 30 November 1945 at Camp Carson, Colorado

Note: the linkage between the 10th Mountain Division Artillery and the 10th FA Bde (Panama Canal Dept) and 10th FA Bde (10th Division) is tenuous, and may not bear out when the Army updates the official lineage.

  • War on Terror: campaigns to be determined

Army Football uniforms edit

In December 2017, the Army Black Knights football team wore all-white uniforms honoring the 10th Mountain Division in their annual rivalry game against the Navy Midshipmen football team.
