The 23rd Infantry Division, more commonly known as the Americal Division of the United States Army was formed in May 1942 on the island of New Caledonia. In the immediate emergency following Pearl Harbor, the United States had hurriedly sent three individual regiments to defend New Caledonia against a feared Japanese attack. This division was formed as one of only two un-numbered divisions to serve in the Army during World War II.

  • The 23rd Infantry Division, more commonly known as the Americal Division of the United States Army was formed in May 1942 on the island of New Caledonia. In the immediate emergency following Pearl Harbor, the United States had hurriedly sent three individual regiments to defend New Caledonia against a feared Japanese attack. This division was formed as one of only two un-numbered divisions to serve in the Army during World War II. After World War II the Americal Division was officially re-designated as the 23rd Infantry Division. However, it was rarely referred to as such, even on official orders. At the suggestion of a subordinate, the division's commander, Major General Alexander Patch, requested that the new unit be known as the Americal Division—the name being a contraction of "American, New Caledonian Division". This was unusual, as most U.S. divisions are known by a number.

  • Дивизия «Америкал» — 23-я пехотная дивизия Армии США. Создана в мае 1942 года на острове Новая Каледония. После событий Перл-Харбора американское командование спешно направило три отдельных полка на оборону Новой Каледонии для отражения предполагаемой атаки японских войск. Хотя официальное название дивизии - 23-я пехотная, чаще всего, иногда даже в документах, ее называют «Americal» (от сокращения «American, New Caledonian Division»).
