It numbered in succession of the 1st–14th Divisions, which were not all active at its creation. Originally trained for deployment to Europe, its units were later converted into field artillery units. The division was deactivated on 12 May 1918. Its personnel and other assets were later used to form 1st & 2nd Cavalry Divisions. On 20 August 1921, as a result of lessons learned from World War I, the Army's Adjutant General, Major General Peter C. Harris, constituted the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Divisions to meet future mobilization requirements. However, the 2nd Cavalry Division was not subsequently activated, and remained in 'on-paper' organizational limbo for twenty years.World War I Victory Medal (United States)12 languagesArticleTalkReadEditView historyToolsFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaWorld War I Victory MedalObverseTypeService medalAwarded for"service between April 6, 1917, and November 11, 1918, or with either of the following expeditions:American Expeditionary Forces in European Russia between November 12, 1918, and August 5, 1919.American Expeditionary Forces Siberia between November 23, 1918, and April 1, 1920."DescriptionA medal of bronze 36 millimeters in diameter.

The bill authorizing the medal never passed, however, thus leaving the military departments to establish it through general orders. The War Department published orders in April 1919, and the Navy in June of the same year.[1]
