Division was reactivated as the 10th Mountain Division (Light
Infantry) at Fort Drum, New York in Jefferson County. All soldiers of
the 10th Mountain Division must be prepared to deploy anywhere in the
world. Whether their missions were in support of Operation Desert
Shield/Storm; the humanitarian Operation Restore Hope in Somalia,
East Africa; assisting in hurricane and ice storm relief efforts here
at home; or the most recent deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq, to

and winter warfare that has brought them great success and has helped
advance world peace. This legislation

Division by providing members with distinctive plates. This will
allow recognition for their service, and provide a distinctive
license plate saluting these individuals for their service to our
great nation.
