16th Division (United States)

The 16th Division was an American infantry division in World War I. It was the second formation of that name raised in the United States, the first being renamed to 37th Infantry Division (United States) in 1917.

The division was organized in 1918 as a regular army and national army division for World War I. It did not go overseas and demobilized in March 1919 at Camp Kearny, California. It appears the second formation of the division may have been commanded by Major General David C. Shanks.

Stephen J. Chamberlin was sent to Camp Kearny in September 1918, to become assistant Chief of Staff to Major General Shanks.
