Wikipedia has the following divisions being deactivated since 1991
Armored divisions 2nd Armored Division: 1940–1995 3rd Armored Division: 1941–1945; 1947–1992 49th Armored Division: 1946–1967; 1973–2004 50th Armored Division: 1946–1993 Infantry divisions 5th Infantry Division: 1939–1950; 1951–1953; 1954–1957; 1962–1992 6th Infantry Division: 1939–1942* (6th Motorized Division); 1943–1949; 1950–1956; 1967–1968; 1984–1998. The 6th Infantry Division itself was deactivated in 1994, but the 1st Brigade, 6th Infantry Division remained in the active force under that designation until being reflagged as the 172nd Infantry Brigade in 1998. 7th Infantry Division: 1940–1942* (7th Motorized Division); 1943–1971; 1974–1994; 1999–2006; 2012 8th Infantry Division: 1940–1942* (8th Motorized Division); 1943–1945; 1950–1992 9th Infantry Division: 1940–1962; 1966–1969; 1972–1991. The Division experienced a brief period of inactivation in 1947. 24th Infantry Division (formerly Hawaiian Division): 1941–1970; 1975-1996; 1999–2006 26th Infantry Division: 1941–1945; 1946–1993 47th Infantry Division: 1946–1991 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisio...ed_States_Army I know a few ACRs are gone as well but cannot find an elegant list. |

2nd AD 3rd AD 5th ID 6th ID 7th ID 8th ID 9th ID 24th ID 194th AB and 197th IB also stood down, but I believe they are currently active as training formations. 2nd, 3rd and 11th ACR are all still active - 2nd and 3rd are now Stryker units and 11th is the NTC OPFOR. |

Thanks for the info!
My proposal to put more pressure on the Soviet, er, Russians is based in part on reactivating several heavy divisions and basing them in Poland and Latvia/Lithuania/Estonia. -Dave |

I bet the Poles and the Baltic Republics would like to see something like
An ACR 3AD 5ID(M) 8ID(M) We could send another smaller corps, say 2AD and a pair of ID to another former Pact country (insert your favorite western-leaning). To finish it off, I'd have US ABN formations base/cross train with the Poles and Czechs, and maybe the Romanians or something. I'd concentrate on fire brigade tactics, "denial of passage" (my term) ambushes, and behind the lines anti-supply campaigns. I'd supply M1A1's, F-16C's, a couple of squadrons of F15E (deep strike threat) and AH-64's to Poland in exchange for Poland sending it's remaining Mig-29's, Hinds, and T-72's to Ukraine, along with spares and support. The tanks would come from US stocks and give the tanks that Congress wants to keep building a place to be. We stay away from Ukraine while still helping the Ukrainians help themselves. 400-500 M1A1's crewed by Poles who remember what Uncle Joe did in 1939 and the Katyn Forest would be a good deterrent to Russian delusions of grandeur.

I was researching this topic a few weeks back for the T2030 project and came across a tentative divisional designation/reactivation list put together by something called the United States Army Center of Military History. They call it a "lineage scheme".
In descending order of reactivation/designation: 7th Infantry Division* 9th Infantry Division* 24th Infantry Division* 5th Infantry Division* 2nd Armored Division* 3rd Armored Division* 8th Infantry Division*
