The division was established in September 1954 and until 1958 was led by AlufAvraham Yoffe. At the time, divisional commands were mission-based commands without organic forces, but rather with troops apportioned according to given missions. It was led by AlufZvi Zamir from 1958 until he was succeeded by AlufUzi Narkiss in 1962, who led until 1965. In the years 1965–1969, it was led by AlufElad Peled.

Later, it oversaw the occupation of the southern Golan Heights. After the war, from 1969 to 1972, the division was led by AlufShmuel Gonen (Gorodish). From 1972 to 1974, it was led by then-AlufRafael Eitan.
During the Yom Kippur War of October 1973, the division fought in the defensive battles over the northern Golan, and afterwards broke deeper into Syrian territory.
