24th at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo?[edit]

The 24th was at Fort Wood wasn't it? My dad was stationed there as a 1st Sgt. in the early to mid '60's and he was in the 24th Div. If there is any info on this, please include it in the article. Thanks! Maltmomma (chat) 14:51, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but the 24th ID did not see the Continental United States for the first time until 1970, when it rotated from Vietnam to Fort Riley, Kansas. More to the point, the Division was never stationed at Fort Leonard Wood. Your father may have been in the 24th ID while it was in Hawaii, Korea, or Vietnam, which is where they were prior to 1970, and he may have gone to Fort Leonard Wood for schooling, for a Temporary Duty Assignment, or as Cadre for a School there.

To be a little more exact, not "rotated from Vietnam to Fort Riley, Kansas"; rather, see my site [24th Infantry Division in Europe 1958-1970]http://www.libraryautomation.com/24th/. The 24th Infantry Division was never in Vietnam, as made clear in the Cold War section of this article. User:Bob Rowen --Bobrowen (talk) 01:30, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Iraq 1994[edit]

Are we sure that "In the fall of 1994 Iraq again menaced the Kuwaiti border"? I thought Iraq was well boxed in by UN sanctions after its Kuwait expedition. - Dave Smith 21:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:24th Infantry Division (United States)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Review ongoing. There are a few points I feel could be improved prior to completing the GAR. I'll list a few thoughts below. SGGH ping! 20:04, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The lead could use a slight copy edit. The opening sentence is a bit awkward to, perhaps with a more general opening line and the reactivation information in a second sentence.
  • It is a bit unclear as to which brigade and regiment we are talking about sometimes, and whether we are talking about units from within the 24th or from other units. As such, it is difficult to see what is relevant and what is overly detailed info about another Division's activities.
  • The image captions need a bit more than just what is in there, particularly "North Korean tanks advancing through Seoul, 1950." and "The Pusan Perimeter, August 1950" for example.
    • Added more to most of the captions. How does it look now? —Ed!(talk) 03:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • A copy edit is needed, in places, for example there is a full stop missing in "...surrounding and destroying elements of the US 2nd Infantry Division, 7th Infantry Division, and South Korean forces[50] The 24th Infantry Division, on the... " and the image caption "patch of the 187th Regimental Combat Team" needs a capital letter.
  • Is there a wikilink or two for the honors section? So we know what campaign streamers are?

So basically, a general copy edit, some image caption expansion and a slight reword in places. I'll keep watcing for these changes and complete the GAR. SGGH ping! 20:12, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do a more thorough copy-edit over the next day or so. Please let me know of anything major that I overlook. —Ed!(talk) 03:57, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in 24th Infantry Division (United States)[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 24th Infantry Division (United States)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "hersh":

  • From Battle of Rumaila: Hersh, Seymour M. "Annals of War: Overwhelming Force". The New Yorker. Retrieved 2013-12-21.
  • From Barry McCaffrey: Forbes, Daniel (May 15, 2000). "Gulf War crimes?". Salon.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 09:06, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
