The reactivated 7AD never went to Korea. It was a training division, based at Camp Roberts, California. Men would be in the Division only for the duration of their training: 8 weeks for basic and 8 weeks for specialty.

I do not yet have the date of reactivation.
I do not yet have the date of deactivation, but it was in Fall 1953, after the Korean War ended.

Camp Roberts construction began November 15, 1940 as a training base and today is a California National Guard base.

The Camp Roberts Historical Museum has a very good website. The Museum is well worth a visit and is just off California Highway 101, north of Paso Robles.

Camp Roberts Newspapers of the Korean War Era: Thanks to Dirk Hale of the Camp Roberts Historical Museum for PDF files of the weekly newspaper "The Camp Roberts Parade" (and one issue of "Army Times") for 1950-1953. The collection is not complete, and some issues are significantly damaged. But this is an excellent record of life on the base in the Korean War era.
