Hawaiian Division
The
Hawaiian Division
was a division of the
United States Army
, dedicated to the defense of Hawaii. This division was named rather than numbered, as were the
Philippine
,
Panama Canal Division
and
Americal
Divisions. It was first activated under the peacetime
Square Division
Table of Organization and Equipment
(TO&E) on 25 February 1921 as the Hawaiian Division using assets of the World War I era 11th Infantry Division. It, the
Philippine Division
, and the
Americal Division
were the last three U.S. Army divisions to be named rather than numbered. The division retained this TO&E until 1941, when it was reorganized under a
triangular division
TO&E, and part of its former organization became the core of the new
24th Infantry Division
and
25th Infantry Division
.
