I recently received
(Nov 2015) a series of "History of the 80th Infantry Division"
books from Bob Murrell, covering AUG44 through MAY45. These books contain
both the Operational History (descriptive text) as well as the more formalized
History. For convenience and download, I've separated them out in Part
1 (Operational History) and Part 2 (Supplementary Data).
If you are looking
specifically for 80th Division General Orders, they are here.
