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:
“The division between the useful arts and the fine arts must not be understood in too absolute a manner. In the humblest work of the craftsmen, if art is there, there is a concern for beauty, through a kind of indirect repercussion that the requirements of the creativity of the spirit exercise upon the production of an object to serve human needs.”
—Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)
