25th Infantry Division History Spotlight for the week

in 1941, the 25th Infantry Division was activated at Schofield Barracks. The division was comprised of units from the old Hawaiian Division, which was established in 1921 to defend Hawaii. During a reorganization of Army divisions just before World War II, the Hawaiian Division was inactivated, and its units were reassigned to form the new 24th and 25th Infantry Divisions. The brand new division, under command of MG Maxwell Murray, was only eight weeks old when Japanese forces attacked Hawaii on December 7, 1941. That event became the first chapter of many in Tropic Lightning’s history.

In the tough, realistic training environments of Hawaii, "Tropic Lightning" Soldiers with the 2nd Mobile Brigade are forging the future of Army command and control. 🌴

During Exercise Nakoa Fleek, these warriors pushed the limits of next-generation systems, providing the critical, hands-on feedback needed to build a faster and more connected force. This demanding training strengthens the squad-to-corps C2 architecture, enabling faster decision-making and increased operational effectiveness. ⚡
