How the 25th Infantry Division is structured

The 25th Infantry Division is organized as a modular division with Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) as its primary maneuver elements. Throughout its history, the Division's organization has evolved to meet the demands of each conflict.

Today, the Division headquarters at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii commands multiple BCTs that can deploy independently or as part of the full division. The 25th ID is the Army's Pacific-focused division, trained and ready to respond across the Indo-Pacific region.
