The 51st Infantry Division was an infantry division of the United States Army, composed of units from the Florida National Guard and the South Carolina National Guard.[1]

History

Original Organization Date: 11 September 1946 with headquarters at Tampa, Florida.

In the post-World War II restructuring of the National Guard a number of new divisions were organized. Among these was the 51st Infantry Division, composed of National Guardsmen from Florida and South Carolina.

Organization on September 11th, 1946[2]

Unit Headquartered Commander
Division Headquarters Tampa, Florida Maj. Gen. Sumter L. Lowry
211th Infantry Regiment Miami, Florida Col. Robert A. Ballard
116th Field Artillery Battalion Tampa, Florida Lt. Col. George N. Sagin
Band Florida

Following WWII, a massive reorganization of the Army National Guard took place. As part of this reorganization, the 51st Infantry Division, a completely new division, was allocated to the states of Florida and South Carolina. The division was activated on 5 July 1946 as a standard triangular division. Old and new units were assigned and activated during 1946-47.

In 1949, the 107th AAA Bn and the 263rd Tank Bn were assigned to the division. The Division remained in a normal National Guard training status, being reorganized periodically as the Army applied lessons learned in WWII and Korea. The 51st Infantry Division never served on active federal duty.
