The 3rd Infantry Division was activated at Camp Greene, North Carolina, on Nov. 21, 1917. During World War I, as a member of the American Expeditionary Force to Europe, the division earned its name as the "Rock of the Marne," when surrounding units retreated, the 3rd Infantry Division remained.
Headquartered at Fort Stewart, Georgia, the 3rd Infantry Division has a rich and storied history. Sixty Dogface Soldiers have been awarded the Medal of Honor, the most of any division in the U.S. Army.
Known as the Hammer of XVIII Airborne Corps, the 3rd Infantry Division is the only armored division east of the Mississippi River. The 3rd Infantry Division continues to enhance and upgrade warfighting capabilities with the most lethal ground and rotary wing combat equipment available in the world. By 2023, the 3rd Infantry Division will consist of the most modern aviation and armored brigades in the U.S. Army, always ready, willing and able to respond to the nation’s call in time of need.
