The Thirty-First Infantry Division, also known as the Dixie Division, was a unit of the United States Army that served during World War II. Activated in 1940, it was primarily composed of National Guard troops from the southern states. The division played a significant role in various campaigns, including the liberation of the Philippines. After World War II, the Thirty-First Infantry Division was deactivated but was later reactivated during the Korean War. It has since been reorganized and is now part of the Army National Guard, continuing to serve in various capacities within the U.S. military structure.
