The Second (Indian Head) Division Association is the official organization of veterans who served in the 2nd Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. It represents those veterans who have served in the 2nd Infantry Division in four of our nation's conflicts, as well as those who have served during peacetime, to include Korea on Freedom’s Frontier since 1965. Active membership is open to individuals who served or are serving with the Second Infantry Division and its attached units. Associate and Honorary memberships are also available. In addition to our active U.S. members, we have members from the Dutch and French battalions that were attached to the Second Infantry Division during combat operations, and Korean Augmentation to the United States Army (KATUSA) soldiers who served with the Second Infantry.

It is a non-profit, non-political association of former and present members of the 2nd Infantry Division that was formed in Bourmont, France in 1917. It is chartered in the State of Texas as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization pursuant to Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The objectives of the Association are:

• To perpetuate and memorialize the valiant acts and patriotic deeds of the members of the Second Infantry Division.

• To promote and maintain friendships and camaraderie created by active service with the Second Infantry Division and its attached units.

• To set examples of patriotism.

• To pay homage to our honored dead.

• To provide scholarships for qualified young men and women.

• To support the active Second Infantry Division.

• To provide services for and protect the interests of members, their dependents and survivors.
