• 159th Infantry (Fifth California) and 160th Infantry (Seventh California) as a result of World War I mobilization and renumbering at the national-level

• 184th Infantry (Second California) as a result of the splitting off Central Valley/Norcal units (excluding the SF Bay Area) from the 159th and 160th in 1924

• 185th Infantry (Sixth California) as a result of splitting off the Southern Central Valley units around Fresno/Bakersfield from the 184th in 1929.
