Basically making them new blank slate divisions with no history. So the lineage of those Division would still reside in the their child Separate Brigade. 46th ID lineage held in 46/38ID, etc. Not that lineage really matters in T2Kbut as an academic practice its interesting.
Especially since the lineages of so many of those divisions accompanied the separate brigades that were formed from the remnants of those divisions when they were disbanded. And then there's GDW practice of using some of the division numbers for Corps headquarters, especially in CONUS!
