THE 5TH INFANTRY DIVISION

"RED DIAMOND"

THE "RED DEVILS" IN PEACE

**THE 5TH INFANTRY DIVISION AT FORT POLK**
	Organization of the 5th Infantry Division, Mechanized 1976-1983
	Organization of the 5th Infantry Division, Mechanized 1984-1992
	Insignias of the 5th Infantry Division's Units

I modified the pages of the organization of the division at Fort Polk to reflect the change in organization in 1984-85.
The first page gives the organization from the reactivation under H Series TOEs (Nov 1970) to 1983,
before the reorganization under J Series TOEs.
The second page gives the organization under J Series, late 1984-early 1985, but with the "new" units. It seems that reorganization was made with battalions affiliated to the 10th Inf, 11th Inf, 61st Inf, 40th and 77th Armor (like before 1985), and they were later, between 1985 and 1989, redesignated under 6th Inf, 35th and 70th Armor regiment affiliation. I have a lack of information about that.

I thanks all who helped me to improve these pages to pay hommage to the members of the division during this era.
