One regiment, separate assignments
The common row follows the regiment. After its reorganization, battle groups and battalions could hold different assignments at the same time. A deployment or temporary attachment does not by itself change the assigned division. Battalion rows follow headquarters lineages, often descended from lettered companies, rather than assuming that the old regimental battalions continued unchanged.
Approximate wartime windows identify documented affiliations within the labeled years. Their boundaries are coverage limits, not assignment or inactivation orders. Unverified intervals remain visible; common regimental service does not establish the later assignments of each battalion.
Division patches
Representative division patches. Patterns could change over time; an image does not imply that the exact version was worn throughout every period. Divisions without a verified asset remain identified by name.

The dated record
Division timeline
Deployments, operations and credited campaign service appear inside assignment cards. Award years establish credited service, not exact tour dates. Some service notes identify only company-sized elements. This is a sourced selection, not a complete movement log.
Assignment ends are exclusive: the next period starts on that date. *Striped final bars mean last documented, with later status unverified through the page cutoff. Unknown intervals are not treated as inactive.

Sources and scope
Army Center of Military History lineage certificates, regimental associations and secondary histories document assignments, operations and battalions. Exact lineage dates and approximate historical coverage are distinguished. Where the evidence stops, the page says so. A page cutoff is not a claim that every unit directory was current on that date.
Earlier battalions are covered by common regimental service; separately dated lineages and substantiated later battalions receive their own rows or notes. A unit graphic alone is not evidence of a battalion assignment. Reserve, training and inactive organizations are distinguished from active combat units.
