		The 96th Division of W.W.II was a far cry from the 96th of W.W.I. It was initially organized in September of 1918.
		In the spring of 1944, the 96th became an amphibious division, thus the Camp was reorganized to train the unit in landing operations.
		By October, the 96th would be assigned to General Douglas MacArthur and serve as one of the first units to land at Leyte in his return to the Philippines.

		Divisions either organized before or during World War I did not use the designation "infantry." The re-designation of these divisions as infantry came sometime after World War I when the divisions' structure was reorganized to include specialists in a wide variety of functions.
		A standard infantry division of the World War II era, for example, was designed for open warfare and, consequently, a pool of motor transport and artillery were assigned to them.
		The airborne division was initially a miniature version of the infantry division with the addition of a small antiaircraft battalion, one parachute, and two glider regiments.
