The US Army Guide reads as follows for the 40th
In May the division arrived at Camp Roberts, California.
After being reinforced by a variety of armored vehicles the
division was again redesignated as 40th Infantry Division
(Mechanized) and committed to combat against elements of the
Mexican Army and assorted armed bands.
Howling Wilderness has them in Lompac Tulare Monterrey Bakersfield - so they may be in the Bakersfield area after all
And the Texian Legion engaged the 85th Infantry and the 95th Infantry Division in January of 1999, with the 85th being surrounded and almost annihilated - meaning the Legion had enough combat power to take on two US light divisions (one of which had tank support) and emerge victorious - and this only a few months after they were defeated soundly by the 197th Infantry Brigade in October of 1998 (The brigade arrived in Louisiana in October and conducted a successful offensive against the Texian National Legion, breaking its grip on east Texas per the US Army Vehicle Guide)
So it seems the Legion must be quite a large force to be able to do all that
