The 25th Infantry Division is celebrating its 77th birthday with the annual Tropic Lightning Week. The division was formed Oct. 1, 1941, at Schofield Barracks and saw combat during the Japanese attack across Oahu on Dec. 7, 1941. The Tropic Lightning Division is celebrating its birthday in December due to a robust training schedule in October. There will be competitions between the battalions to earn the coveted Guadalcanal Cup. 2nd Battalion, 11th Field Artillery Regiment, has won the cup the last three years in a row. The birthday celebration will end Friday, Dec. 21, with a Division Review at historic Weyand Field. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. 1st Class Keith Anderson, 25th Infantry Division Public Affairs)
