Description
On 15 July 1942, the 89th began active military service and reorganized at Camp Carson, Colorado, where they conducted basic combat training until May 1943. During this time the Division was redesignated as the 89th Light Division. From May 1943 to May 1944, the regiment conducted maneuvers with the division in Louisiana and Hunter Liggett Military Reservation, California. During these maneuvers it was determined that the "Light Division" concept was unsuitable so they turned in their mules for wheeled vehicles and on 15 June 1944, the division was redesignated as the 89th Infantry Division. - Blue and red background pattern with white edging.
