	military infantry division patch10
		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.

		When the artillery barrage lifted on 16 December 1944 and German divisions began advancing into what would become known as the Battle of the Bulge, I SS Panzer Corps of SS-Oberstgruppenfuehrer Sepp Dietrich's 6th SS Panzer Army relied on its infantry and paratroopers to clear the way for the panzer advance.
