The 102nd Infantry Division, also known as the "Ozark Division," is a formation of the United States Army. Originally activated on March 15, 1943, during World War II, it was reorganized and reactivated in the post-war era. The division saw service in both the European Theater of Operations and the Pacific Theater of Operations, participating in significant battles such as Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, and Central Europe. The 102nd Infantry Division is characterized by its distinct insignia: a stylized "O" on a white disk, signifying the Ozark Mountains of Missouri from which many of its soldiers originated. The division was deactivated in 1946 after World War II, but it was reactivated during the Cold War in 1953 as part of the U.S. Army's reaction to the Soviet threat. Today, the 102nd Infantry Division serves under the United States Army Reserve and is headquartered at Camp Joseph T. Robinson in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The division continues to uphold the traditions and values instilled during its time in active service, with a focus on readiness, training, and preparedness for a variety of potential missions.
