2nd Infantry Division

The 2nd Infantry Division (2ID, 2nd ID) ("Indianhead") is an infantry division of the U.S. Army headquartered in Camp Humphreys, South Korea. Its current primary mission is the pre-emptive defense of South Korea. The 2nd Infantry Division is unique in that it is the only U.S. Army division that is made up partially of South Korean soldiers, called the Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army. This program began in 1950 by agreement with the first South Korean president, Syngman Rhee.

Unit Insignia

The 2nd Infantry Division unit insignia is a five-pointed white star superimposed on a black shield. At the center of the star is an Indian's head with war bonnet in profile, face red, bonnet blue with an outline of feathers in blue. The star has played an important part in our history from the days of the Colonies to the present time. The Indian signifies the first and original American. These devices were originally established by the division to use as vehicle markings and to identify the vehicles as American.
