34th Infantry Division
In 1940 President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered selected National Guard divisions to active duty for 12 months. Included among the units was the 34th "Red Bull" Division. Although scheduled for activation in October 1940, due to a shortage of accommodations, the division was not activated until 10 February 1941. Activated at Council Bluffs, Iowa, ten days later the division moved to Camp Claiborne, Louisiana.
The division was activated as a World War I-era "square" division organized around two infantry brigades, the 67th and 68th Infantry Brigades. Each brigade consisted of two infantry regiments, the 133d and 168th Infantry Regiments, and the 135th and 164th Infantry Regiments, respectively.
On 1 February 1942 the unit was redesignated the 34th Infantry Division and reconfigured as a "triangular" division built around three infantry regiments, the 133d, 135th and 168th Infantry Regiments.
In 1942 a typical infantry regiment consisted of a headquarters and band, a headquarters company, a service company, an anti-tank company, a cannon company, and three infantry battalions.
In March 1943 the basic infantry regiment was reorganized to include a headquarters, a headquarters company, a service company, an anti-tank company, and three infantry battalions.
Each of the three infantry battalions consisted of a headquarters and headquarters company, three rifle companies and a heavy weapons company. Within each regiment, the 1st Battalion consisted of Companies A through D, the 2d Battalion consisted of Companies E through H, and the 3d Battalion consisted of Companies I through M (there was no Company J).
