7th ID is back.

7th Infantry Division was quietly reactivated on Oct 1st.

Its serving as an Administrative unit and is detailed to care and equip elements of the 2nd ID located at Ft. Lewis.  If you know anything about the 7th ID then you'll know that they have a proud history and participated in the amphibious assaults during WW2, fought in Korea and Panama.  Most interesting to me is that they were once designated a Light Infantry Division and were some of the Army's Jungle Fighters.

Two things should happen.  First the 7th should be brought back as a regular, not administrative unit and two, they should be brought back as Light Infantry.

No worries though.  This is just part of the game.  The 7th ID will come back if for no other reason as to play the budget game with an Army marker.
