Here is an update I received from the 2nd Infantry Division Association on upcoming events for those interested:
Dear Veterans, Active Duty Soldiers, Family Members, and Friends of the
2nd Infantry Division:
Here is an update on 2ID Association Activities.

3. Active Division. The 2nd Infantry Division Artillery (DIVARTY) was
reactivated at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington on September 25,
2014. DIVARTY assumed training and development responsibility for the
artillery battalions assigned to both 2nd Brigade-2ID and 3rd
Brigade-2ID. It also has responsibilities on the Korean Peninsula. Its
headquarters would be with some of the first called for combat missions
if the current Armistice ended and war returned between North and South
Korea (Source: News article in the JBLM Northwest Guardian newspaper).
4. Merchandise. Show your pride in your service as a member of the
