Douglas MacArthur. Originally organized out of guard units from 26 states for World War I, MacArthur said the division would span across the country &#8220;like a rainbow.&#8221; Today, the division is composed of guard units from the Midwest through the Northeastern United States.\u00a0<br\/><br\/> The division was involved in World Wars I and II, landing in France during the second World War and eventually liberating the Dachau Concentration Camp after taking several German cities. In 2005, it became the first Guard Headquarters to deploy to war since 1952, leading 23,000 soldiers in Iraq.<br\/><br\/> The 42nd also responded to the North Country ice storm of 1998, the World Trade Center attack on Sept. 11, 2001, Hurricanes Irene and Lee in 2011 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012.<br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iraq War veteran Brig.
