The History: The 93rd Infantry Division was activated on May 15, 1942 at Fort Huachuca, Arizona.  The division embarked for the Pacific Theater in January of 1944 and arrived on Guadalcanal in March.  The Division was assigned to training, labor, and security duties and were sent wherever needed.  Elements of the division went into combat on Bougainville on March 30, 1944 when the 25th Infantry Regimant was made into a regimental combat team and was attached to the Americal Division.  The 25th RCT was on Bougainville until June, 1944.  From September through March of 1945, the 93rd fought on New Guinea.  Elements of the 93rd served on Morotai and in the Philippines in 1945.  The 93rd was to be a part of the Invasion of the Japanese home islands but this operation was not needed because the war ended.  The 93rd remained in the Philippines until they were inactivated in February of 1946.
