93rd Infantry Division:

The 93rd Division was activated as a component of the Army
of the United States on May 15th, 1942, with Headquarters at
Fort Huachuca, Arizona. After participation in the 1943
Louisiana maneuvers, the Division moved to Camp Young,
California, and also participated in the November-December 1943
California-Arizona Maneuver Area exercises. Division elements
embarked for the Pacific Theater in January of 1944 and arrived
in echelons on Guadalcanal through March 5th except that one
Regiment was sent to the Russell Islands arriving there on
February 7th 1944.

The shoulder patch worn by the Division is based on a WW I
design that was approved by the AEF on December 30th, 1918.
The French helmet design on the patch represents the fact that
the Division's elements in WW I were brigaded for service and
fought with the French Army.

Campaigns:
World War II
(New Guinea, Northern Solomon).
