4th Infantry Division (United States)
The 4th Infantry Division ("Ivy Division") is a modular division of the United States Army based at Fort Carson, Colorado. It is composed of four organic infantry and heavy brigade combat teams. It is one of the most technically advanced and tactically proficient divisions in the United States Army.
The 4th Infantry Division's official nickname, "Ivy", is a play on words of the Roman numeral IV or 4. Ivy leaves also symbolize tenacity and fidelity which is the basis of the division's motto: "Steadfast and Loyal". The second nickname, "Iron Horse", has been recently adopted to indicate the speed and power of the division and its soldiers.

Famous quotes containing the word division:
“For a small child there is no division between playing and learning; between the things he or she does “just for fun” and things that are “educational.” The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
