Foreword 

Steve Clay’s massive work, US Army Order of Battle, 1919–1941, is, in many respects, the story of 

the American Army, its units, and its soldiers, during a period of neglect by a parsimonious Congress and 

others who perhaps believed in the notion that a “War to End All Wars” had actually been fought. Indirectly, 

it tells the story of a diminutive Regular Army that continued to watch faithfully over the ramparts of 

freedom in far-flung outposts like Panama, Alaska, the Philippines, and China, as well as the many small 

and isolated garrisons throughout the United States; a National Guard that was called on frequently by 

various governors to prevent labor troubles, fight forest fires, and provide disaster relief to their state’s 

citizens; and an Organized Reserve whose members attended monthly drills without pay and for 20 years 

creatively and conscientiously prepared themselves for another major war. 

The US Army Order of Battle, 1919–1941 is an important addition to the library of all Army historians, 

professional and amateur. More than a simple listing of units and the headquarters to which they were 

assigned, this book is an encyclopedia of information on Army tactical organizations in existence during 

the interwar period. This four-volume work, based on almost 20 years of research, fills a distinct void in the 

history of Army units, especially those of the Organized Reserve (now known as the US Army Reserve). 

Clay’s comprehensive work details the history of every tactical organization from separate battalion to 

field army, as well as certain other major commands important to the Army in the 1920s and 1930s. It also 

includes the various units’ changes of station, commanding officers, accomplishments, and key events such 

as major maneuvers and, for National Guard units, active duty periods for state emergencies. Also included 

are the organizations’ distinctive unit insignia, as well as maps showing command boundaries and charts 

illustrating the assortment of tables of organization germane to the organizations of the time. In short, this 

Order of Battle is the “go to” reference for the historian who wishes to understand the history, organization, 

and evolution of Army units between the World Wars.

Acknowledgments 

These volumes were compiled from numerous archives and libraries from virtually around the world. 

At every available opportunity, I visited a library or archive that might contain useful information for 

this project and hunted through any file or book that might contribute to its completion. Some of those 

places were as far away as the 2d Infantry Division Museum at Camp Red Cloud, Korea; the Eighth Army 

Museum at Yongsan in Seoul, Korea; and the V Corps historian’s office in Frankfurt, Germany. The primary 

sources of information in these volumes, however, are from Record Groups 394 and 407 in the National 

Archives II at College Park, MD. The people at National Archives II to whom I am particularly grateful 

are Mr. Mitchel Yockelson, Dr. Tim Nininger, and Mr. Shawn Smith. Mitch was particularly helpful with 

dropping pull slips for me before I arrived and for advising me on where to look for various interwar period 

documents. He was truly invaluable to my efforts for this work. 

A close second for primary source documents and information was the Center of Military History 

in Washington, DC. My point of contact there, and someone to whom I am also greatly indebted, is Ms. 

Romana Danysh. Roma was a great help in showing me what the Center’s archives held and allowing me 

access to unit data cards and other unit historical documents. The late Mr. John Slonaker of the Military 

History Institute at Carlisle Barracks, PA, was of great help in locating information and documents there. 

I am also indebted to the staff of the Combined Arms Research Library (CARL) at Fort Leavenworth, 

KS, particularly Mr. Ed Burgess, the director. Ed made possible the compilation of an extremely accurate 

and virtually complete listing of Regular Army unit commanders. Other CARL staff members who were 

of great assistance include Mr. Steven Brown, Mr. Ed Metz, Ms. Dorothy Rogers, Mr. Carl Fischer, Ms. 

Kathy Buker, Ms. Elizabeth Merrifield, and Ms. Pamela Kontowicz. The staff of the Air Force Historical 

Research Agency (AFHRA) at Maxwell Air Force Base, AL, was very helpful with the Air Service/Air 

Corps section. Mr. John T. O’Gorman of the US Army Quartermaster Museum provided useful help with 

the Army Transport Service portion of this project. 

In terms of financial support, I would like to thank Dr. Jeff Clark and the Center of Military History. 

Without the Center’s help, this information would probably never be available to Army historians and 

others. I also wish to thank General Gordon Sullivan, Mr. Roger Cirillo, and the Association of the United 

States Army. Early on General Sullivan and Mr. Cirillo recognized the value of this work and persuaded the 

Association to provide some of the early financial support to my research. The Fort Leavenworth Historical 

Society was also a backer, and I am grateful to that organization as well. 

I would be remiss if I did not mention the outstanding support and encouragement I received from my 

bosses at the Combat Studies Institute, Fort Leavenworth, KS, my place of employment during much of 

the time I was writing these volumes. These included Colonel Jerry Morelock, Colonel Lawyn Edwards, 

and Dr. William G. Robertson, all of whom gave me encouragement and the time I needed to travel to 

the National Archives and other locations to compile much of this work. I would especially like to thank 

Colonel Timothy Reese who made the later stages of research and the actual publication of this work 

possible. For the assistance with the selection of military insignia and other illustrations used in this work, 

I am grateful for the help of Mr. Ival Lawhon of St. Joseph, MO. He ensured that the illustrations represent 

the actual insignia in use from 1919 to 1941. A big “thank you” goes to Lieutenant Colonel Drew Sullins, 

his wife Stacey, and Drew’s parents for their willingness to put me up at their home when I did research at 

the National Archives in Maryland. I enjoyed the chance to visit with them when I was there and it made 

my own sparse dollars stretch a lot farther. 

Most importantly, I want to thank my wife and best friend, Elizabeth. I spent 19 years researching and 

writing this work, but she never complained about the many times I was absent conducting research nor 

about the money I spent in doing so. She did not necessarily understand my passion for this project, but she 

always supported me in my efforts. I thank God for her and her friendship.

Author’s Note 

When thumbing through this work, I suspect many people would wonder what prompted somebody 

to put together a reference work that details the history of the US Army in peacetime, especially during 

a period that seems relatively uneventful. To explain, I have to go back a ways. This work is the result of 

over 19 years of research and writing that attempts to document adequately the organizations, commanders, 

and activities of the US Army from 1919 to 1941 in what is commonly known as “the interwar years.” The 

genesis of this project was my entry into the world of military insignia collecting when I was a teenager 

in 1972. At that time, I had little interest in the Army. In my mind, I was headed for Annapolis and a naval 

career. I joined the Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Course (ROTC) program at Baker High School 

in Columbus, Georgia, and there met Tom Stafford. At Tom’s house, I encountered a distinctive unit insignia (commonly referred to as “crests”) collection that his father, a retired sergeant major, had assembled 

over many years. I was fascinated by Sergeant Major Stafford’s collection. Upon inquiry, however, Tom’s 

father did not seem to know much about the history of the pre-World War II units in his “crest” collection 

that, for some reason, were the kinds of insignia to which I was particularly drawn. I started my own collection and wanted to know everything I could about those units. As I collected by attending militaria shows 

and traded insignia with many former soldiers of the World War II and Korean War eras, I discovered that, 

other than Regular Army units, the collectors did not seem to know much about most of the older National 

Guard and Organized Reserve units either. I started digging for information at the Infantry School library 

at Fort Benning, Georgia. I found some information on National Guard units, but could find almost nothing 

about the Organized Reserve. Those units seemed to have been lost to Army history. It was almost as if the 

units and their officers and men hardly even existed. The conundrum was also keen for the four, virtually 

unknown, cavalry divisions in the National Guard during that period. I read everything I could find about 

these Reserve Component units, but everywhere I looked, I seemed to come up with very little. 

In 1990, while attending the Inspector General’s course at Fort Belvoir, VA, I decided to go to the 

National Archives in Suitland, MD, to see what I could find on these old outfits. There I discovered a 

treasure trove of documents in Record Group 394 that laid out much of the organization and activities of 

the interwar Army. I also discovered that here was an Army that was indeed genuine, composed of real 

people and units and not merely the “paper army” that I had come to believe was the Organized Reserve. 

I also learned that the Army was busier with training, maneuvers, and emergency duties than I imagined. 

The Regular Army was involved in a wide variety of duties that included activities as diverse as martial 

law duty in labor strikes to engineer surveys of the Nicaragua Canal project and deployments to Shanghai, 

China. I found that the National Guard was intended to be a much larger organization than what actually 

existed during this period; each state was allotted many more units than they could actually organize due 

to lack of funding by Congress and the sagging interest in military service after World War I. I discovered 

that members of the third component, the Organized Reserve, were an amazing collection of men who 

willingly participated in monthly training meetings without pay or retirement benefits. Unlike the National 

Guardsmen who were also paid for drills, these men were paid only for their attendance at the annual 

2-week summer training camp. Yet, year after year, the Organized Reserve continued to grow, and it was 

this group of soldiers, especially the officers, who made possible the creation of the huge US Army of World 

War II. All of these men served at a time when the military, and especially the Army, was given short shrift 

by the Nation. Yet the men and the units to which they belonged continued to soldier on, almost forgotten 

yet still proud to do the job that so many others deigned to do. Here was a story that needed to be told, and 

I decided at that point that I would do it. In completing this work, it is my hope that this information will be 

found useful by command historians, especially unit historians, for all three components of the US Army, in 

helping them to tell the story of these organizations. Many of the units whose histories are contained herein 

still exist today, and it is important to make this kind of information available, especially now due to the 

reorganization of the Army to the modular tables of organization. To break with these long and storied histories is like throwing away a combat multiplier. The Army has already done that to some degree with units 

at the division level and above. Not one division, corps, or army, for example, has a history dating before 

xiii 
1917, except the 28th Division of the Pennsylvania National Guard (though the 27th Infantry Brigade of 

the New York National Guard carries the lineage of the pre-World War I predecessor of the 27th Division). 

The lineage of those proud divisions, corps, and armies of the Civil War and Spanish American War are no 

longer found in the Active force. The US Army has a great history, and its men and units made that history 

both in times of war and peace. The historical connection between yesterday’s generation of soldiers and 

today’s soldiers are the units themselves. That connection should never be broken lightly. Soldiers should 

have the opportunity to know what their predecessors did and accomplished, even in peacetime. I hope this 

work contributes to that goal.

Purposes and Scope 

The purposes of US Army Order of Battle 1919–1941 are threefold. The first is to fill a void in the 

published record of US Army units documented by Order of Battle of the United States Land Forces in 

the World War published by the Center of Military History and Mr. Shelby L. Stanton’s Order of Battle, 

U.S. Army World War II. The second is to provide Army command historians, unit historians, and other 

individuals who are trying to research specific unit histories a basic overview of what these units were doing 

in the interwar period, where the units were located, and who commanded them. The third is to provide 

a private individual who had a relative who served during this period, and who wishes to know what that 

service may have consisted of, an account of the major activities in which the relative’s unit was involved. 

The scope of the work covers units from the size of separate battalions from all arms and services to field 

armies, as well as the actual order of battle of each as applicable. 

Each unit is represented by a unit entry block. The entries contain a host of information that is standardized in its presentation as far as possible. Each entry includes the unit title and type, the headquarters 

to which the unit was assigned, the geographical area to which the unit was allotted (if National Guard or 

xv 
Organized Reserve), the unit’s headquarters location, the unit’s physical location (or the unit’s headquarters 

location if dispersed) on 7 December 1941, a unit service narrative, the unit’s organization day, the unit’s 

status as of 2001, and a chronological listing of the unit’s commanding officers. Depending on the type of 

unit, additional information may include a listing of subordinate units and their years of assignment; “snapshot” orders of battle for divisions, corps, and armies for selected years; and the subordinate components 

of nonstandard units such as harbor defense commands. Also included in this work are the headquarters, a 

unit service narrative, commanders, and a “Major posts, camps, stations, airfields, and National Guard and 

Organized Reserve training facilities” section for each of the nine corps areas and three overseas departments. Though these were not tactical headquarters in the traditional sense, their importance to this period, 

and to this project, were such that I felt compelled to add their information. 

Unit Title and Type 

The unit title, in most cases, is the designation by which the unit was known for most of the 1919–41 

period. In some cases, most notably the Air Service/Air Corps units, several unit titles followed by dates are 

given due to numerous redesignations. 

Parentheticals 

Titles are often followed by parenthetical information. Typically, the first of these will be the unit type 

or weapon, such as (Antiaircraft) or (75-mm G). These designations will always be in boldface type. The 

notation (C) will follow some units. This indicates the unit was designated as a “Colored” unit and manned 

by African American personnel. The term “Colored” and the designation (C) were the standard usage of the 

period in mobilization documents and elsewhere and are used here for historical purposes. These designations too will always be in boldface type. Some units held the same designation at different times, but are 

not the same organization. These titles will be followed by a Roman numeral in parentheses, e.g., (I), (II), 

etc., to clearly differentiate the separate units. These designations will always be in standard type. The final 

example of parenthetical information is the major headquarters to which the unit was assigned, for example: 

(1st Division). This is typically the brigade, division, corps, or army to which the unit was assigned. For 

National Guard units, these reflect planned mobilization assignments for wartime and do not necessarily 

reflect actual peacetime command and control relationships. In some cases, again most often Air Service/ 

Air Corps units, the organization was assigned to several different headquarters from 1919 to 1941. In those 

cases, I have attempted to designate that headquarters to which the unit was assigned for the longest period 

or, in some instances, the headquarters to which it was assigned in the initial mobilization plans of 1921–23. 

Admittedly, there are a few instances where these two examples will not apply, but in each of these exceptional cases, the rationale was different and it is not feasible to explain every reason. The headquarters 

designations will also be in standard type. 

Component and Geographic Allotment 

National Guard and Organized Reserve units are identified in this section of the unit entry. The state 

or states of allotment are also identified. In some cases, the unit was allotted for organization to more than 

one state. In those instances, the states of allotment will be identified with the conjunction “and” as such: 

Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana National Guard. Typically, the state to which the headquarters was 

allotted will appear first. In other cases, usually Organized Reserve units, the organization was withdrawn 

from allotment to one state or geographical area, and reallotted to another. In those instances, the initial 

state or states of allotment and the follow-on state or states will be differentiated with a slash “/”, indicating the first, second, etc., areas of allotment as such: Organized Reserve Missouri and Kansas/South 

Dakota. In some cases for National Guard or Organized Reserve units, an organization was constituted but 

never allotted to a given state. In those instances, only the component (i.e., National Guard or Organized 

Reserve) is listed. Regular Army units that were generally in an inactive status between 1921 and 1939 

are shown as Regular Army Inactive (RAI). The vast majority of RAI units were organized with Reserve 

personnel during this period and thus are differentiated in this manner from Organized Reserve units and 

active Regular Army units. Many Organized Reserve units were withdrawn from the Reserve and allotted 

xvi 
to the Regular Army between 1927 and 1940. These units are all listed herein as Organized Reserve units 

as that is the component in which they were originally allotted. Active Regular Army units below division 

level and which headquarters were active for the majority of 1919 to 1941 will have no component listed. 

Headquarters Location 

The city or post and state or overseas location where the unit’s headquarters was physically and permanently located, roughly between January 1919 and 7 December 1941, is listed here. Generally speaking, 

temporary locations are not included unless the absence from the permanent location was for 6 months or 

longer. The location and relocation dates for Regular Army and National Guard units are generally accurate, 

having been determined from unit data cards for the Regular Army and state annual or biennial reports and 

various other documents for National Guard units. While the majority of the initial organization dates and 

locations for Organized Reserve (O.R.) units are generally accurate, the relocation dates were somewhat 

problematic for these units. The primary document used to determine O.R. headquarters locations are 3”x5” 

index cards located at the Center of Military History at Fort McNair in Washington, DC. These cards were 

the methodology by which the Army tracked O.R. units in the interwar period. They usually (though not 

always) contain dates and headquarters location for the relocation of the units, but the relocation dates 

themselves are often that of the actual document that notified the individual who kept the cards rather than 

the actual date of the relocation. The date provided on the index card has typically been used as the date of 

relocation in the absence of the actual date. Those dates, however, while generally accurate, can be as much 

as a year off. In those instances where the actual relocation date has been located in other kinds of documents, the actual date has been used. 

Unit Service Narrative 

The service narrative generally provides an overview of the unit’s permanent changes of station, assignment and reassignment to major commands, allotment to and withdrawal from component (Regular Army 

[R.A.], National Guard [N.G.], O.R.), allotment to corps area or overseas department, initial organization 

date and location, training activities and locations, activation and inactivation, and the location of the unit 

(or of the unit headquarters if the unit was dispersed) on 7 December 1941. Special events and activities, 

awards, and deployments are also covered. For R.A. units, support to the Civilian Conservation Corps and 

training support to O.R. units are covered. For N.G. units, callups for state emergencies of battalion-size 

or larger, dates of Federal recognition, dates of induction into Federal service, summer training camp locations, and mobilization training stations are covered. For O.R. units, locations for Inactive Training Period 

meetings, summer training camp locations, mobilization training stations, and Reserve Officers’ Training 

Corps (ROTC) feeder units are covered. Regular Army Inactive (RAI) units are covered similarly to O.R. 

units with the addition of information on Active Associate units and affiliation with ROTC units. Dates 

provided for unit movements are generally the dates of arrival at the new location by the unit headquarters, 

unless specifically given as a departure date from the losing duty station. Subordinate elements of the unit 

may have arrived before or after that date. 

Organization Day 

The War Department’s General Order #24, dated 10 June 1922, established the concept of “Organization 

Day” (sometimes referred to as “Regimental Day”) for US Army units. The Organization Day was not necessarily the date on which the unit was organized. It could also be a special date in its history such as its baptism of fire in combat. In instances where an Organization Day had been adopted, the unit’s chosen date for 

Organization Day, an explanation of the date’s significance, and the date of adoption are given, if known. 

Status 

The unit’s status (active, inactive, disbanded, etc.) and designation as of 2001 is given if known. 

Events 

The numbers represent events of significance in which the unit participated between 1919 and 1941. 

The details of each event number are located in appendix B. 

xvii 
Commanders 

Where known, the unit’s commanders and their inclusive dates of command are provided for regimentsize units and above, and selected battalion-size units. The dates of command are for the period 1 January 

1919 to 7 December 1941, or the end date of command for the last pre-World War II commander, whichever is later. For infantry, cavalry, field artillery, coast artillery, and engineer regiments, the commanders 

for the World War I period are also provided if known, because those commander lists were not previously 

provided in the Center of Military History’s Order of Battle of the United States Land Forces in the World 

War. For some N.G. units, the commanders will have a state abbreviation in parentheses following their 

name (e.g., (GA) for the state of Georgia) in those instances where the unit was a multistate organization 

to identify from which state the commander was assigned. If the commander of a N.G. or O.R. unit was an 

R.A. officer, the name will be followed by the abbreviation (R.A.). If the commander of a N.G. or R.A. unit 

was an O.R. officer, the name will be followed by the abbreviation (O.R.). If the name is not followed by 

an abbreviation, the commander is of the component or state to which the unit headquarters was allotted. If 

a commander is not known for a given period, the entry “Unknown” and the inclusive dates (at least month 

and year) are provided. In some instances, especially for O.R. units, the inclusive dates for a given commander are not known. In those cases, the entry “ao” (for “as of”) followed by a month and year indicates 

the earliest or latest date known for that commander to be in command of the unit indicated. The example 

below indicates that Colonel William J. Smith was known to be in command from at least July 1937 to at 

least April 1940. 

Example: Col. William J. Smith ao July 1937–ao April 1940 

Additionally, a single asterisk (*) beside a commander’s name indicates he was an R.A. officer in 

command of an RAI unit. Two asterisks (**) indicates a Reserve officer who was in command of an RAI 

unit. Note that relatively few O.R. brigades and no RAI brigades were assigned a brigadier general as 

commanding general. These headquarters functioned as such on few occasions, usually at a command post 

exercise or occasionally during annual training. The brigade was strictly a tactical command during this 

period and exercised no administrative duties or responsibilities. Those duties were performed at the division and regimental levels. For that reason, O.R. and RAI brigades were generally “commanded” by majors 

or lieutenant colonels whose duties were primarily limited to planning, conducting, or supervising training 

in the brigade headquarters during the inactive training period. More often than not, personnel assigned to 

brigade headquarters simply conducted their inactive training with one of the subordinate regiments. At 

summer training, the senior regimental commander often served as the brigade commander when the brigade headquarters was intended to function as such. When assignment of Reserve officers to RAI regiments 

began in 1926, only a single reserve major (later changed to a lieutenant colonel) was authorized as the 

commander though the regiment could acquire its full quota of captains and lieutenants from the officer’s 

Reserve Corps. In 1927, the command of these regiments was, in many cases, passed to selected Active 

Duty R.A. colonels and lieutenant colonels who, for the most part, were the professors of Military Science 

and Tactics at the college or university with which the RAI unit was affiliated. This practice seems to have 

effectively ended on 1 October 1933, though in some instances it was ended earlier, after which command 

was exercised by the senior Reserve officer assigned. Most units not affiliated with an educational institution were commanded by Reserve officers, though in a few cases they were commanded by R.A. officers 

who were assigned as an additional duty. This practice also seems to have ended on 1 October 1933. In 

many instances, brigades and regiments were commanded by captains and even lieutenants. Those organizations seem to have served more as Reserve pool units for mobilization assignment purposes than actual 

functional units. This was usually because the assigned personnel were geographically dispersed so as to 

prevent regular assembly for inactive training periods. Nonetheless, the senior officer assigned acted as the 

commanding officer during summer training unless a higher ranking officer was temporarily attached to 

assume command for the camp period.

McClellan, AL. The division headquarters was not reorganized before the adjutants general of 

the several states from which the division was drawn petitioned the War Department to change 

the designation of the division to be formed as the 31st Division as that was the organization 

in which most of the states’ units served in World War I. The request was approved and the 

subordinate elements assigned to the 39th Division were withdrawn and assigned to the 31st 

Division, less the Arkansas elements, effective 1 July 1923.

Nickname 

Many divisions adopted nicknames in the World War I period or, in a few cases, the nickname was adopted 

after the division was constituted or reconstituted in 1921. The nicknames are shown as illustrated. 

Component and Geographic Allotment 

For corps and armies, only the state to which the headquarters was allotted are listed. For divisions, 

every state that was allotted a unit in the division’s order of battle is listed. The state to which the headquarters was originally allotted and organized will be listed first. 

Organization/Order of Battle 

Each division, corps, and field army has one or two “snapshot” orders of battle provided to illustrate 

how the command was organized at the time indicated. The 1939 order of battle provided for the R.A.’s 

1st through 9th Divisions represent those divisions’ final organization before the change to the “triangular” tables of organization in October 1939. Unit designations in italics indicate an inactive unit or a “not 

organized” or “not initiated” unit. Unit headquarters locations in italics represent the state of allotment 

for National Guard Inactive (NGI) units and the corps area of allotment for RAI and Organized Reserve 

Inactive (ORI) units. Partially active units (i.e., the headquarters was inactive, but some subordinate elements were active) are also shown in italics. For partially active units, the unit headquarters mobilization 

station/post is also shown in italics. 

Division Commanders and Chiefs of Staff 

Note that about half of the O.R. divisions actually had at least one general officer assigned as division 

commander sometime during this period, and none had a general assigned for the entire period. In most 

cases, one of the R.A. brigade commanders in the corps area was assigned as the commanding general 

of one of the three O.R. divisions as an additional duty. This practice seems to have been most widely 

used in the Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Corps Areas. In some cases, the corps area commander 

assigned that duty to himself. In two instances, those of the 77th and 95th Divisions, Reserve divisions were 

actually commanded by a Reserve officer. Generally speaking, the division’s chief of staff exercised routine 

command in the name of the corps area commander or the assigned division commander. Thus, the names 

of the R.A. chiefs of staff assigned to O.R. divisions have been included in this Order of Battle. 

Terminology and Abbreviations 

The military and ethnic terminology and abbreviations used in this work are those that were used from 

1919 to 1941; therefore, at the beginning of each volume is a Key to Abbreviations. See Appendix A, 

“Glossary of Terms,” for definitions of the terminology used in this Order of Battle. 

The National Guard 

The N.G. poses several problems in preparing a work such as this because the rules by which the 

Center of Military History (and the states themselves) trace each unit’s lineage do not always mirror those 

for the R.A. and O.R./US Army Reserve. For example, when a unit in the O.R. was relocated from one 

community to another, the unit retained its history and designation. In the case of the N.G., however, when 

a unit designation was relocated to a unit in another community, the history of the unit was retained in the 

organization located in the first community. Also, if a unit was demobilized (i.e., disbanded) in one community, and then in another community a unit is organized with the same designation, there was, in theory, 

no relation between the two units other than the fact that they happened to have shared the same designation. For example, the 120th Ammunition Train was organized at Bristow, OK, in May 1923. The unit in 

Bristow was disbanded in May 1924. A new 120th Ammunition Train was organized at Sperry, OK, in June 

1924 and later reorganized as Headquarters Battery, 160th Field Artillery in June 1926. Another new 120th 

Ammunition Train was organized at Haskell, OK, also in June 1926, and later reorganized as Battery B, 

xx 
160th Field Artillery in January 1927. In theory, there were three different organizations with the designation “120th Ammunition Train” and as such, each should merit a separate Unit Entry in this Order of Battle. 

To complicate matters, regimental, brigade, and division headquarters appear not to have been considered 

state- or community-specific units. For example, the Headquarters, 108th Cavalry at New Orleans, LA, was 

withdrawn from the state of Louisiana on 15 March 1929 and allotted to the state of Georgia and reorganized at Hinesville, GA. There appears to have been no loss of identity or history in the transfer of that unit 

designation between states, much less between communities in the same state. It is the same unit with the 

same lineage. Additionally, the Center of Military History does not consider N.G. units “constituted,” even 

though the Federal designations of those units were clearly “placed on the rolls of the army” (this is especially pertinent since the vast majority of N.G. units used Federal designations and not state designations 

during the period) and allotted to the various states in 1920–21 in accordance with the guidelines laid out 

in the 1920 amendment to the National Defense Act of 1916. The methodology appears to assume that the 

designation does not exist (at least on the rolls of the Army) until the day the unit is organized and federally 

recognized, even though letters and memorandums allotting the unit designation to a state, mobilization 

plans, and numerous other documents clearly refer to the existence of the unit designation before it was 

actually organized. In light of these pre-existing designations, for the purposes of this Order of Battle, I 

have chosen to consider the designation of N.G. units to have been constituted in the same manner as R.A. 

and O.R. units (i.e., when the designation of a unit was placed on the rolls of the Army). Therefore, those 

units that have a clearly differentiated identity (in other words, separate battalions, regiments, divisions, 

etc.) are treated as one and the same organization in the Unit Entries. Only in rare instances are two (or 

more) N.G. units with the same designation treated as separate and distinctly different organizations. The 

Unit Entries for these units generally makes the purpose for differentiation self-evident.

Chapter 1 

Genesis of the Modern American Army 

Many historians consider the advent of Elihu Root as President William McKinley’s Secretary of War 

in 1899 the beginning of the modern United States (US) Army. A remarkable man who never served a day 

in uniform, Root was responsible for a series of legislative bills passed through Congress between 1900 

and 1903 that led to a major reorganization of the US Army and a substantial improvement in the officer 

education system. Root’s most important accomplishments include the establishment of the US Army War 

College, US Army Command and General Staff School, and Army General Staff; and transition of the position of Commanding General of the Army to the Chief of Staff, US Army. These improvements to Army 

organization and education were the beginning of a series of long needed changes that would transform the 

US Army by the beginning of World War I into a relatively modern force that was more capable of assuming 

the missions, domestic and overseas, of a nation that had become a key player on the world scene. 

The Root reforms, as they are often called, were complemented by another piece of legislation passed 

during this period—the 1903 Dick Act. This act thoroughly revamped the outdated Militia Act of 1792 that, 

up to then, had been the basis for mobilization, organization, administration, and training of the Army. The 

new act reorganized the Army’s reserve forces into the Organized Militia (the National Guard [N.G.]) and 

the Reserve Militia, the latter force essentially consisted of all able-bodied male citizens ages 18 to 45. 

It provided for the reorganization of the N.G. to reflect a standardized organization along the lines of the 

Regular Army (R.A.) as well as authorization for Federal funding to N.G. units that met specific requirements in prescribed drill periods and annual Federal inspections. The act required each state and territory 

to appoint an adjutant general who would be responsible for implementing the Federal aspects of the act 

and report annually to the Secretary of War on the progress of implementation and maintenance of the act’s 

provisions. Additionally, the act provided for the assignment of R.A. instructors to N.G. units and for periodic joint maneuvers with R.A. units. The Dick Act also outlined other needed improvements dealing with 

militia issues to include examinations for commissions, age and eligibility requirements, and the provision 

of pensions for militiamen killed during Federal service. 

The Dick Act went a long way toward developing something closer to a “one Army” concept. However, 

it did not tackle many other issues confronting the US Army during its reorganization to address the complex challenges facing a modern military. Therefore, a series of other bills affecting the Army were passed 

between 1903 and 1916 that provided for, among other things, the establishment of the Medical Reserve 

Corps (1908) and an enlisted Regular Army Reserve (RAR) (1912), the latter being a pool of former enlisted 

men who were available to rapidly expand the small R.A. in times of emergency. The most sweeping legislation affecting the Army before World War I was the passage of the National Defense Act of 1916. 

The 1916 act now defined the Army of the United States as the “Regular Army, the Volunteer Army, 

the Officers Reserve Corps, the Enlisted Reserve Corps, the National Guard while in the service of the 

United States, and other such land forces as are now or may hereafter be authorized by law.” It provided 

for an increase of the R.A. to a peacetime strength of 175,000 and expansion to 300,000 in time of war. 

Like the Dick Act, the 1916 act brought sweeping changes to the N.G. The Guard was now increased to 

an authorized strength of 400,000. Significantly, the act required National Guardsmen to take both a state 

and Federal oath that would then allow the induction of N.G. units into Federal service for employment 

beyond the borders of the United States. It also provided Federal pay for 48 drill periods a year, identified 

standards for Federal recognition of Guard officers for Federal commissions, and authorized the president 

to determine numbers and types of units to be raised and maintained by each state. As implied above, the 

act also created the Officers’ Reserve Corps (ORC) and the Enlisted Reserve Corps (ERC) to provide a pool 

of semi-trained reservists who could rapidly expand the Army in an emergency. In addition, the Reserve 

Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) was established to provide educated and trained young men from our 

Nation’s colleges and universities who would enter the ORC as commissioned second lieutenants. 

3 
The implementation of the National Defense Act of 1916 came too late to have a significant impact 

on the Army’s readiness for entry into World War I; however, it was not entirely ineffectual. The change 

to a dual-status N.G. avoided the political and legal wrangling over the use of the Guard for overseas service as experienced during the Spanish–American War. Perhaps the main effect of the act before the war 

was in the area of the ORC and ERC. Through the use of Regular Army Instruction Camps (nicknamed 

“Plattsburg Camps” after the prototype camp held at Plattsburg, NY, in 1915), the Army was able to commission over 21,000 Reserve officers by June 1917. These officers formed the leadership foundation of 

the huge American Army that would be raised for service in that war. By the end of the war in 1918, over 

89,000 Reserve officers, of whom about 3,300 were commissioned from ROTC programs and 57,300 were 

products of Plattsburg-type camps, had entered the Army. By October 1917, over 55,000 enlisted reservists had been recruited for service. Ultimately, between the RAR and ERC over 80,000 enlisted reservists 

served in World War I. 

World War I demonstrated that the sweeping changes wrought by the National Defense Act of 1916 

were not broad enough to thoroughly modernize the Army. The 1916 act would be extensively amended 

by Congress in June 1920 through the passage of Public Law 242 (PL 242), typically referred to as the 

National Defense Act of 1920. This law reorganized the Army into the form that is more or less in existence 

today. It established the Army of the United States as a “one Army” concept that reorganized the Army into 

three distinct components—the R.A., the N.G. (the state Reserve force), and the new Organized Reserve 

(O.R.) (the Federal Reserve force that is now the US Army Reserve). Under the provisions of the act, the 

R.A.’s peacetime strength was expanded to 296,000 including the Philippine Scouts (although it would 

never approach this number until 1941—see appendix C) and its authorization for officers was increased to 

17,726, which was a substantial increase over the Army’s prewar authorization. The additional authorization for officers was a reflection of the added responsibilities imposed on the R.A. for training the Reserve 

Components. Thus, a sizable number of officers and noncommissioned officers (NCOs) would be assigned 

as instructors, trainers, and administrators to N.G. and O.R. units, as well as hundreds of senior and junior 

ROTC programs throughout the country. Additionally, the RAR was abolished and its role was to be subsumed into the newer ERC. 

The N.G.’s strength was likewise increased to 435,000, but as with the R.A., the strength of the Guard 

would never exceed 200,000 until 1939 and would be at only about half its authorized strength when actually mobilized for World War II. Additionally, the act recognized the N.G. as the Nation’s second line of 

defense for ground forces. This recognition brought with it more Federal dollars for increased and improved 

training, organization, equipment, and uniform standards for all three that were in line with those of the 

R.A. Of course, as always, the increase in Federal resources was bought with the price of increased Federal 

control in terms of standards, employment, and reporting. 

The third component of the Army, the O.R., was created by combining the ORC with the ERC, and the 

constitution of hundreds of O.R. units. There was no set limit to the manpower size of the O.R.; however, 

the average strength hovered around 100,000 during the interwar period, the vast majority of whom were 

officers. Due to political maneuvers by N.G. lobbyists, the authorized strength of O.R. units was set at 100 

percent wartime strength for officers, but only 33 percent wartime strength for enlisted personnel. The 

authorization for the wartime strength for officers was to absorb the large number of officers who would 

wish to continue participating in Reserve Component duties after World War I and to absorb the number of 

new officers being commissioned through the ROTC and the Citizens Military Training Camps (CMTC). 

The limitations placed on the ERC allowed O.R. units to fill key NCO positions, such as first sergeants, 

platoon sergeants, and squad leaders, in anticipation of filling the other ranks with drafted men on mobilization. More importantly to the Guard, it effectively prevented this new Federal Reserve force from becoming the Army’s second string team and eliminated most of the competition for recruiting enlisted personnel 

from the same geographical area. One problem with the ERC program was the few venues through which 

someone could become an enlisted reservist. Just as with the old RAR, the intended primary means was 

through reenlisting men who had left service with the R.A. or N.G. However, the provision included in 

4 
the original RAR for a small annual stipend as an incentive for joining had not been included in the ERC. 

Another means to join the ERC was through the ROTC and CMTC programs. If a man had completed at 

least 1 year of ROTC training in college, or had completed one 4-week camp of the CMTC program, he 

could also enlist in the ERC. Each year of participation in ROTC and completion of each CMTC camp 

earned the participant promotions in the ERC. Many enlisted reservists were in this category and went on to 

receive a commission in a few years, thus leaving the ranks of the ERC. The final way one could enter the 

ERC was if he (or she, in the case of nurses) possessed an expert skill needed by the Army and that required 

no prior military training. This included skills such as nursing, railroad occupations, certain communications fields, and music. Interestingly, a substantial number of enlisted reservists in the interwar period, at 

least into the early 1930s, were bandsmen. Because of these restrictions, the ERC maintained an average 

strength of only about 3,500 men and women, and never more than 6,000 at anytime from 1919 to 1941. 

Other legislation, both before and after World War II, would further change the US Army, but it was the 

National Defense Act of 1920 that provided much of the structure familiar to today’s Army. Organizationally, that is in terms of the institutional army (i.e., schools, recruiting, training base, logistical base, etc.) and 

the field army (i.e., regiments, divisions, corps, etc.), the US Army also underwent numerous and important 

changes prior to and after World War I. The following chapter will provide an overview of the key changes 

to the Army’s command structure before the Great War and the key changes to the Army at the major levels 

of command brought about by PL 242. The remainder of this work will primarily focus on the history and 

activities of the US Army’s mobile units and a few other institutional and non-table of organization (T/O) 

units that are of historical significance to the structure, mobilization, training, and administration of the 

interwar US Army.

Chapter 2
 

Geographical Organization and Tactical
 

Commands of the US Army, 1898–1920
 

Organizationally, the US Army went through few significant changes between the end of the Civil 

War and the beginning of World War I. At the highest level of organization below the War Department, the 

United States was divided into geographical commands designated as “departments,” which were often further divided into subordinate geographical commands known as “districts.” These commands provided for 

the command, control, and administration of Regular Army (R.A.) units (and National Guard [N.G.] units 

when in Federal service). Typically, there were no levels of combat command between the department and 

the primary mobile units of the Army—the regiment. Regimental commanders, if needed, wore a second 

hat as district commanders. No additional personnel were provided to man district staffs. Those officers and 

men were drawn “out of hide” from the regiment or regiments that composed the district. Except for short 

periods, such as Indian campaigns and the Spanish–American War, the brigade, division, and corps did not 

exist in the US Army as tactical units. 

For Indian campaigns, a brigade might be provisionally formed with two or more regiments and then be 

immediately disestablished at the end of the operation. During the Spanish–American War, brigades, divisions, and corps were once again constituted for combat operations. Eight corps, each consisting of three 

or more divisions, numbered consecutively as 1st, 2d, 3d (as were each of the division’s three brigades), 

etc., were organized for service in the continental United States, Cuba, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico. 

The geographical departments were still retained and functioned as mobilization headquarters and logistics 

providers to the corps until they were deployed overseas. At the end of major hostilities in that conflict, 

the brigades, divisions, and corps were disbanded, and the system of departments and districts was now 

superimposed on America’s new overseas possessions in the Philippines, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and later, 

the Panama Canal Zone. 

Recognizing the need for mobile commands larger than the regiment, in 1905 the Army developed a 

scheme for organizing the R.A. and N.G. units into divisions and brigades. However, plans for organizing 

divisions were not put into operation until 1910, when the Army began organizing the First Field Army consisting of what were supposed to be three permanent divisions composed of three brigades each. No corps 

level of command was provided for in this arrangement. The brigades were to be comprised of selected 

R.A. and N.G. regiments. Due to the Mexican Revolution of 1911, the plan was implemented only on paper 

(i.e., the regiments were officially assigned to various brigades, etc., but never concentrated or trained). 

Instead, a single provisional organization, dubbed the “Maneuver Division,” made up of only R.A. brigades 

and regiments, was organized in the spring of that year and stationed at San Antonio, TX, for employment 

on the Mexican border should it become necessary. Several separate brigades were also organized and 

stationed at various posts in Texas and California near the border and potential ports of embarkation. By 

August 1911, the Maneuver Division and the separate brigades were disbanded. 

The experience of mobilizing and organizing the Maneuver Division reinforced to Army planners both 

the need for permanent divisions and plans to mobilize the Army in case of an emergency. In 1912, Secretary 

of War Henry L. Stimson directed a review of national defense policies. The resulting report included a 

two-phased mobilization plan that organized the R.A. into infantry divisions and cavalry brigades for use as 

a wartime expeditionary force or other emergencies, and the N.G. into additional divisions to be available 

to reinforce the R.A. if required. Stimson largely adopted this plan and implemented it, along with several 

other organizational changes in 1913. 

The “Stimson Plan” reorganized the continental United States into four geographic departments (Eastern, 

Western, Southern, and Central), provided for two overseas departments (Hawaiian and Philippine), and 

created three new coast artillery commands (North Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Pacific Coast Artillery 

Districts) to integrate the Nation’s system of coast defense installations. Units of the mobile army were 

7 
assigned to three infantry divisions and one cavalry division. Additional regiments were assigned to one 

separate cavalry brigade and a separate infantry brigade stationed in Hawaii. Additionally, 12 infantry divisions were organized, at least on paper, with units of the N.G. These commands, however, again proved to 

be largely paper units, though the 2d Division was actually mobilized and concentrated once again in Texas 

due to troubles in Mexico. By October 1915, the 2d Division headquarters was demobilized and its units 

returned to their home posts. 

The Stimson Plan remained in effect until 1 May 1917. On that date, the continental territorial commands were again reorganized, this time into six departments. Concurrently, the number of coast artillery 

districts was expanded to five. Eight weeks later, on 26 June 1917, the Panama Canal Department and the 

Panama Coast Artillery District were created to provide command, control, and administration of Army 

mobile units and fixed coast defenses in the Canal Zone (which had been under the old Eastern Department). 

This structure remained in effect into 1920.

In regard to mobile units, permanently existing brigades, divisions, corps, and field armies would 

finally be constituted in the US Army beginning with the 1st Division in June 1917. By the end of World 

War I, 3 field armies, 9 corps, 64 infantry divisions (20 R.A., 17 N.G., and 27 National Army), and 1 cavalry division would be constituted and almost all of these commands would be fully or partially organized. 

With the exception of the 10th through the 20th Divisions, the Puerto Rico Division, and the 15th Cavalry 

Division, all of these units are still carried on the rolls of the US Army today, though some have different 

designations. 

8 
After the Great War, the 1920 amendment to the National Defense Act of 1916 significantly altered the 

organization of the US Army, both in terms of its administrative geographic commands and its mobile units. 

Perhaps more importantly this reorganization set in place the first permanently retained framework for the 

efficient and orderly mass mobilization of the US Army for future conflict. Arguably, the key change in this 

plan was the establishment of a new type of geographic command called the “corps area.” On 20 August 

1920, War Department General Order #50 reorganized the continental commands in the United States into 

nine corps areas that superseded the six previously existing departments. 

The War Plans Division (WPD) of the General Staff developed the composition of the corps areas based 

on state lines and population densities. The intent was to organize the continental United States geographically into nine multistate area commands divided equally in terms of population. Each of the corps areas was 

responsible for organizing two corps consisting of three infantry divisions and a standard number of corps 

troops. Each corps area was also responsible for organizing various other field army, General Headquarters 

Reserve, Zone of the Interior (later designated as Corps Area Service Command), and Communications 

Zone units. Additionally, the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Eighth, and Ninth Corps Areas were responsible 

for organizing and mobilizing units to man the various fixed coast defenses along America’s sea coasts. The 

corps areas were further grouped into three army areas of two armies each. 

War Department General Order #50 did not alter the status of the three overseas departments located in 

the Panama Canal Zone, the Territory of Hawaii, and the Philippine Islands. Each of the departments were 

allotted one infantry division and sufficient coast defense, air service, and housekeeping units to provide 

for the peacetime security and operations of those strategic overseas locations. The departments had essentially the same functions as the corps areas, but with the exception of the Hawaiian Department, which had 

responsibility for the Hawaii National Guard, the departments had few of the mobilization responsibilities 

of their continental counterparts. In wartime, each of these commands were also intended to function both 

as the combat command headquarters for its geographical area and as the headquarters for housekeeping 

or Zone of the Interior-type units. The provisions of the 1920 National Defense Act and War Department 

General Order #50 set the stage for developing the Army’s force structure and mobilization plans for the 

next 20 years.

Corps Areas and Departments

The nine corps area headquarters, established by War Department General Order #50 on 20 August 

1920, assumed the same responsibilities for providing peacetime command, control, administrative, and 

logistical support to the army’s mobile units as had the territorial department headquarters that preceded 

them. The corps areas, however, also had similar responsibilities for post and installation support units (i.e., 

Zone of the Interior units), which had been created during World War I. More importantly, the corps area 

headquarters now had the added the responsibility for planning and executing complex mobilization plans 

for all Regular Army (R.A.), National Guard (N.G.), and Organized Reserve (O.R.) mobile units in their 

respective geographic areas. These responsibilities included the development, organization, training, supply, and inspection of hundreds of new O.R. and Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) units and managing the personnel records system for thousands of Reserve officers, enlisted personnel, ROTC cadets, and 

Citizens Military Training Camp (CMTC) candidates. The corps areas determined where and when R.A., 

N.G., O.R., and ROTC units would be trained during the year and what resources would be applied toward 

each training event. This was equally true for the various CMTC camps held in the corps area. 

The establishment of the three overseas departments—Hawaiian, Philippine, and Panama Canal— 

predated World War I and all remained in existence after the postwar reorganization. The responsibilities of

the departments were in many ways similar to those of the corps areas, but the departments had few or no 

concerns with mobilizing, managing, and training the Reserve components. Only the Hawaiian Department, 

which contained two infantry regiments of the Hawaii N.G. and the University of Hawaii ROTC, had any 

substantial responsibilities for Reserve Component units in these matters. Each department had a small 

number of Reserve officers, but possessed no O.R. units as none were allotted by the War Department. The 

Reserve officers residing in the department’s geographical area were given mobilization assignments to 

existing R.A. units and those units managed the training and administration of the reservists. 

The overseas departments were clearly more heavily burdened than their stateside counterparts in the 

areas of wartime defense planning and joint operations with the US Navy. Each of the three departments 

was charged with preparing joint plans with local naval commands to defend the geographic area of the 

department. Though the corps areas did have similar responsibilities, the strategic position and sensitive 

installations of the overseas departments, and the very real possibility of an attack on those areas in the 

event of war, provided an urgency to the process that was not present in the planning efforts of corps areas 

and naval districts in the continental United States. Additionally, each department’s war plans were regularly exercised through maneuvers with naval, marine, and air service units on an almost annual basis from 

1923 to 1941. 

Given their importance, each corps area and department was commanded by a major general. The 

corps area and department commanders were typically the senior major generals in the army. Short of being 

appointed the Army Chief of Staff, in the interwar period, these commands were considered to be the apex 

of an Army officer’s career. For mobilization purposes, the corps area commanders were to take command

of an early mobilized corps or field army. During peacetime, these commanders also typically functioned as 

commanding generals for the O.R. corps and divisions in their corps area as an additional duty. By the late 

1920s, many corps area commanders frequently delegated the Reserve division commander duty to more 

junior generals within the corps area, or in a few instances, to O.R. generals. 

The corps area and department staffs, though slightly different in each case, were organized to address 

all facets of their mission responsibilities. Typical corps area and department staffs with subordinate tactical 

commands were organized as illustrated in the diagrams. 

Each corps area was responsible for organizing and maintaining two “type” corps (see chapter 5). The 

corps were numbered in accord with the corps area designation. For example, the First Corps Area had 

responsibility for the I and XI Corps, the Second Corps Area was responsible for the II and XII Corps, 

and so forth. The lower numbered corps (I through IX Corps) were to consist of one R.A. and two N.G. 

divisions. The remaining corps troops would consist of R.A., N.G., and O.R. units of the various arms and 

services. These units were the highest in the priority for early mobilization and would assemble and train at 

the installations designated in the corps area’s mobilization plan. The higher numbered corps (XI through 

XIX Corps) consisted almost entirely of O.R. divisions and corps troops and would be mobilized later in 

the mobilization process. These corps would in turn assemble and train at installations already vacated by 

the lower numbered corps units once those units deployed to the area of operations. 

In addition to field army and corps units, the corps areas were to organize, manage, and mobilize 

the General Headquarters Reserve (GHQR), Communications Zone (C.Z.), and Zone of the Interior (Z.I.) 

units as well. The GHQR organizations were overhead and specialized units that would be deployed to 

the combat zone to reinforce the armies and corps or, if necessary, be used to create additional corps and

armies. As their name implies, C.Z. units were primarily logistics and medical units that provided C.Z. (i.e., 

rear area) support to the combat commands at the front. Z.I. units were those installation, support, security, 

and training units that remained in the continental United States to keep the machinery of mobilization and 

stateside logistics support rolling for the war effort. Beginning in 1928, these organizations became more 

commonly referred to as Corps Area Service Units (CASUs). 

Although various Z.I. mobile units were constituted in 1921 to support the mobilization and training 

of wartime units, none were constituted for the specific purpose of supporting existing or planned posts, 

camps, stations, or activities necessary for the sustainment of the larger Army. The types of Z.I. organizations authorized in 1921 were units such as airdrome and school squadrons for the air corps, cavalry 

squadrons to support the cavalry replacement centers and schools, separate infantry battalions to support the 

infantry replacement centers and schools and perform special security duties, and so forth. No units were 

originally constituted for recruiting, reception, post support, mobilization area administration, etc. Based 

on World War I experience, as early as January 1925 some corps areas unilaterally began to organize these 

types of units in support of their own mobilization plans. 

The War Plans Division (WPD), realizing the shortfall and need for such units, as well as an overall 

command to administer them, authorized Corps Area Service Commands (CASCs) in the War Department 

General Mobilization Plan (WDGMP) approved on 20 July 1928. The plan stipulated that the corps area 

headquarters itself would function as the service command headquarters on mobilization of the service 

command’s subordinate units. The purpose of these commands and units was to provide each corps area 

commander with command, administrative, and housekeeping units to operate or augment the various 

service command installations and activities that would support the broader wartime Army. The 1928 

WDGMP left to each corps area commander the discretion to determine the intent of the WPD in the

organization and mission parameters of the service commands and its subordinate units. As a result, the 

number, type, and designation of the CASUs comprising the nine service commands originally varied 

widely from area to area. By late 1940, at least the designation of CASUs was more or less standardized 

across the nine corps areas. The numbering system adopted was aligned with the nine corps areas and only 

included units with numbers above 1000. For example, the CASUs for the Third CASC were designated 

as the 1301st, 1302d, 1303d, etc.; the Fourth CASC were designated as the 1401st, 1402d, 1403d, and so 

forth. As World War II approached, corps areas began mobilizing CASUs, primarily with reservists as the 

units’ officer leadership. By December 1941, each corps area possessed a wide range of active CASUs all 

supporting the mobilization and sustainment of what would become the largest US Army in history. 

The administration, logistics, and training of the Army’s mobile units were major facets of the corps 

area mission. Though the mobilization structure provided for army and corps headquarters, those units, 

even during relatively short periods when they were in an Active Duty status before 1940, did not function 

so much as command and control headquarters as they were planning, training, and administrative units. 

For example, until 1940 the chain of command for R.A. divisional units went from the division headquarters (or a reinforced brigade headquarters if the division headquarters was inactive as in the case of the 4th 

through 9th Divisions) and proceeded to the corps area headquarters, not to a corps or army headquarters. 

For nondivisional troops, it typically went through the unit’s post headquarters then directly to the corps 

area headquarters. 

Corps area command and control of N.G. units was limited and primarily focused on tracking Federal 

training and readiness requirements and mobilization planning. Routine administration requirements, such

assigned to the B.A.G. In several corps areas, the staff also managed selected branch units (such as aviation, ordnance, quartermaster, chemical, etc.). The

corps area staff was also responsible for managing RAI units assigned to the corps area. Reservists assigned to Regular Army active units were managed by 

those units.

2. Under the new system, military areas managed all divisional and nondivisional units in the area except coast artillery and those units already assigned to a

corps area staff section for management purposes. The military area headquarters tended to directly manage the major Reserve headquarters units in the corps

area (i.e., corps and divisions), while the districts managed units at brigade and lower levels.

as personnel records, promotions, assignments, training plans and schedules, property books, and so forth, 

were managed or provided oversight by the various N.G. headquarters within the state. On the other hand, 

the corps area headquarters was responsible for managing all aspects of the administration, logistics, and 

training of the myriad O.R. and Regular Army Inactive (RAI) units within their jurisdiction. To address this 

major task, each corps area developed its own system to manage the O.R. Though these systems tended to 

be very similar, there was some variance between the corps areas.

Notes: 

1. Branch sections of the corps area staff (finance, adjutant general, judge advocate general, ordnance, surgeon, etc.), managed individual personnel 

assigned to the B.A.G. In a few corps areas, the corps ordnance, air service, and surgeon sections managed branch units. The corps area staff was also 

responsible for managing RAI units assigned to the corps area. Reservists assigned to Regular Army active units were managed by those units. 

2. Corps headquarters were activated in most corps areas 1921–22 to manage non-divisional units. These headquarters were replaced by the non-divisional 

group headquarters in 1924–25. 

3. Nondivisional group headquarters briefly replaced corps headquarters to manage nondivisional units. All were discontinued in 1925 and management of 

nondivisional artillery field units was passed to the new artillery group headquarters. Management of the remaining nondivisional units, in some corps areas, 

was passed to branch sections on the corps staff, or to one of the three O.R. divisions in other corps areas. 

4. The artillery groups were organized in 1925 to manage nondivisional field artillery units. In the case of the Fifth through Eighth Corps Areas, the artillery 

group also managed the coast artillery units in those areas. Generally speaking, the artillery groups were discontinued as corps areas adopted the new “military 

area” system between 1928 and 1939. 

5. The three O.R. infantry divisions managed all divisional units in their divisional areas. In some corps areas, selected nondivisional units were attached to 

the divisions for administrative management purposes. The division headquarters personnel were consolidated with military area headquarters as each corps 

area transitioned to that system. 

6. Like infantry divisions, O.R. cavalry divisions managed their subordinate divisional units, except in the cases of the three geographically separated brigades. 

7. Coast artillery districts managed the Reserve coast artillery assigned to the First through Fourth and Ninth Corps Areas. Coast artillery units in the Fifth 

through Eighth Corps Areas were managed by the artillery group. 

Corps Area Organized Reserve Management, 1921–28. 

Each O.R. division had a small R.A. staff to administer the units of the division. The staff was managed by an R.A. full colonel who functioned as the chief of staff and ran the day-to-day operations of the 

division on behalf of the corps area commander. Most nondivisional units were initially managed by an 

R.A. staff assigned to a corps headquarters, of which one (with the possible exception of the Third Corps 

Area) was activated in each corps area for that purpose during 1921–22. Due to budget and personnel 

constraints, between 1923 and 1925 those nine corps headquarters were all relieved from Active Duty 

(though they remained active as Reserve units). On the inactivation of the corps headquarters, the administration of the nondivisional units were then, in most corps areas, taken over by two new headquarters—the 

Non-Divisional Group and the Artillery Group. As the names imply, the Non-Divisional Group managed 

all nondivisional units, less air service and nondivisional artillery organizations, and the Artillery Group 

managed all corps, army, and GHQR artillery units (divisional artillery remained under the control of their 

respective division headquarters). The Artillery Group also managed coast artillery (C.A.) organizations in 

those corps areas that possessed no C.A. district. The headquarters of C.A. districts managed the C.A. units 

located in their respective corps areas. Administration of air service units was somewhat problematic due 

to their highly technical nature. In some corps areas, the units were centrally managed by the Air Service 

Officer on the corps area staff, and assisted by the R.A. Air Service instructors who managed the O.R. airdromes located in the corps area. In other corps areas, management of these units was delegated to a small

R.A. staff at a centrally located corps area airdrome set up to be the hub of Reserve air service activities in 

the corps area. Some corps areas used a management system similar to the air service for other branches. In 

a number of cases, nondivisional ordnance units were managed by the corps area staff’s Ordnance Officer, 

and nondivisional medical units by the Corps Area Surgeon, etc. 

In addition to O.R. units, corps areas had to manage a number of RAI units. An RAI unit was essentially 

the same as an O.R. unit. The primary difference between the two was that RAI units could be ordered to 

active service by the president without declaring a national emergency. By law, members of the Officers 

Reserve Corps (ORC) and Enlisted Reserve Corps (ERC) could only be ordered to Active Duty in the event 

of a national emergency declared by the president. Thus, reservists who volunteered for duty with RAI units 

had to sign an agreement acknowledging that they might be required to go on Active Duty without such a 

declaration. RAI units were also in the highest priority category for mobilization in any circumstance. Most 

RAI units were managed like other O.R. units with one distinct difference. At least until shortly before 

World War II, most RAI units were managed and administered directly by corps area headquarters, though 

in a few instances, combat arms regiments were attached to an O.R. division, and later to a military area, 

for those purposes.

Notes: 

1. Branch sections of the corps area staff (finance, adjutant general, judge advocate general, ordnance, surgeon, etc.), managed individual personnel 

assigned to the B.A.G. In several corps areas, the staff also managed selected branch units (such as aviation, ordnance, quartermaster, chemical, etc.). The 

corps area staff was also responsible for managing RAI units assigned to the corps area. Reservists assigned to Regular Army active units were managed by 

those units. 

2. Under the new system, military areas managed all divisional and nondivisional units in the area except coast artillery and those units already assigned to a 

corps area staff section for management purposes. The military area headquarters tended to directly manage the major Reserve headquarters units in the corps 

area (i.e., corps and divisions), while the districts managed units at brigade and lower levels. 

3. Coast artillery districts continued to manage the Reserve coast artillery units assigned to the First through Fourth and Ninth Corps Areas. Coast artillery 

units in the Fifth through Eighth Corps Areas were managed by the military area headquarters responsible for the area to which the unit was allocated.

Corps Area Organized Reserve Management, 1928–41. 

In 1928, the Ninth Corps Area radically changed its system for managing its O.R. program. The basic 

change was that it based the management and training responsibilities assigned to R.A. unit instructors on 

geography rather than units. Thus, the system reorganized the corps area into three “military areas,” which 

were usually further divided into Reserve districts. The new military area headquarters were organized 

using the state boundaries and staffs of the existing O.R. divisions. These headquarters assumed control of 

both the O.R. division therein and all other O.R. units (less C.A. which remained under the C.A. district 

headquarters) located within the military area. The unit instructors, who had previously been assigned to 

manage particular units, usually branch-specific, were now responsible for managing all the units in the 

17 
Reserve district to which they were assigned. Under this system, the Ninth Corps Area inactivated the artillery and nondivisional groups and placed the units previously under those headquarters under the control 

of the military areas. 

Though the new system soon proved to be clearly better in terms of efficient use of assigned support 

personnel and management of O.R. units and personnel, other corps areas did not immediately adopt it. 

Nevertheless, the new system gradually did take hold and all corps areas had followed suit by October 

1939. 

Most corps areas supervised two other specialized subordinate commands. These commands were the 

C.A. districts and corps area training centers. Only the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Ninth Corps Areas 

supervised a C.A. district within their borders, because these areas possessed substantial lengths of coastline to protect (see chapter 24). The HQ, Eighth Corps Area supervised one harbor defense command at 

Galveston, TX, which was to be transferred to the Fourth C.A. District in the event of war. The nine corps 

area training centers were a short-lived experiment that lasted about 1 year. The mission of these centers 

was to train the N.G. and O.R. units within the corps area. Due to budget and manpower reductions, by the 

fall of 1922 these commands were disbanded (see chapter 6). 

The final major program organized and managed by the corps areas in the interwar period was the 

Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). This massive program, authorized and directed to be implemented by 

President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, absorbed a huge amount of resources and attention by corps area 

commanders and staffs from its inception to its demise in 1942 (see appendix C).

FIRST CORPS AREA
 

HQ—Army Base, Boston, MA, 20 August 1920–as of 7 December 1941 

Established in the US Army on 20 August 1920 with headquarters at Army Base, Boston, and organized from the 

discontinued Northeastern Department. The First Corps Area included the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, 

Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. For administrative purposes and tactical control in connection with the 

coast defenses and field operations incident thereto, that part of the state of New York that lies east of west longitude 

72 degrees, 30 minutes (which included Forts Terry and H.G. Wright, NY) was attached to the First Corps Area. HQ, 

First Corps Area was responsible for the mobilization, administration, and training of units of the First and Fourth 

Armies, I and XI Army Corps, coast defense units of the First C.A. District, select units of the GHQR, and the Z.I. support units of the First CASC. Mobile units of the corps area, less harbor defense, GHQR, and Z.I. units, were originally 

assigned to the First and Fourth Armies from 1921 to 1933. The coast defense units in the corps area were assigned to 

the various harbor defense commands of the First C.A. District. The First Corps Area Training Center was established 

in 1921 with headquarters at Army Base, Boston, to train R.A. and O.R. units, as well as ROTC cadets and CMTC 

candidates. Originally, the training was to be accomplished at Camp Devens, MA, for all arms and services, except 

cavalry and field artillery, which were to train at Fort Ethan Allen, VT. With the inactivation of the First Corps Area 

Training Center in 1922, Camp Devens became the primary training center for corps area infantry units only. Air corps 

units were sent to Mitchel Field, NY; engineer units were sent to Fort Du Pont, DE; and signal corps units were sent 

to Camp Alfred Vail (later renamed Fort Monmouth), NJ. Corps area maneuvers of R.A. mobile units were held, those 

years when funds were available, near Fort Ethan Allen. With the adoption of the four field army plan on 1 October 

1933, the mobile units of the First Corps Area were reassigned to the First Army or GHQR, or were demobilized. For 

the administration of O.R. units, all organizations initially came under the control of the I Corps, or the 76th, 94th, 

and 97th Divisions. When the XI Corps was inactivated in 1925, the HQ, Non-Divisional Group was established to 

direct the organization, training, and administration of all nondivisional units. This arrangement was short-lived. On 

8 September 1925, the Non-Divisional Group was discontinued and the HQ, Artillery Group was established. This 

new group managed only the corps area nondivisional field artillery units, the 158th Cavalry Brigade, and personnel 

assigned to the I and XI Corps. The rest of the nondivisional units were turned over to the three O.R. divisions for 

administrative control. The corps area was reorganized into three “military areas” on 19 August 1938. At that time, the 

1st Military Area assumed control of the 97th Division area (Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont), the 2d Military 

Area assumed control of the 94th Division area (Massachusetts), and the 3d Military Area assumed control of the 76th 

Division area (Rhode Island and Connecticut). The First Corps Area began assigning Reserve personnel to CASC 

units as early as 1925. At that time, the corps area originally referred to the CASC units as “Z.I. installation units” in 

mobilization plans and other documents. The HQ, First Corps Area actually began functioning as a service command 

headquarters in October 1940 and was redesignated HQ, First CASC in May 1941. It was further redesignated HQ, 

First Service Command on 22 July 1942.

SECOND CORPS AREA
 

HQ—Governor’s Island, NY, 20 August 1920–as of 7 December 1941 

Established in the US Army on 20 August 1920 with headquarters at Governor’s Island, NY, and organized from portions of the discontinued Eastern Department. The Second Corps Area included the states of New York, New Jersey, 

and Delaware. The island of Puerto Rico (designated as the District of Puerto Rico) and the islands and keys adjacent 

thereto were, for administrative purposes, attached to the Second Corps Area. For administrative purposes and tactical 

control in connection with the coast defenses and field operations incident thereto, that part of the state of New York 

that lies east of west longitude 72 degrees, 30 minutes was attached to the First Corps Area (specifically Forts Terry 

and H.G. Wright, NY). HQ, Second Corps Area was responsible for the mobilization, administration, and training of 

units of the First and Fourth Armies, II and XII Army Corps, coast defense units of the Second C.A. District, select 

units of the GHQR, and the Z.I. support units of the Second CASC. Mobile units of the corps area, less coast defense, 

GHQR, and Z.I. units, were assigned to the First and Fourth Armies 1921–33. With the adoption of the four field army 

plan on 1 October 1933, the mobile units of the Second Corps Area previously assigned to the Fourth Army were 

reassigned to the First Army or GHQR, or were demobilized. The Second Corps Area Training Center was established 

in 1921 originally at Camp Dix, NJ, to train R.A. and O.R. units, as well as ROTC cadets and CMTC candidates. 

Originally, the training was to be accomplished at Camp Dix for all arms and services except field artillery units that 

were to train at Pine Camp, NY. With the inactivation of the Second Corps Area Training Center on 25 October 1922, 

Camp Dix became the primary training center for corps area infantry units only. Air corps units were sent to Mitchel 

Field, NY, engineer units were sent to Fort Du Pont, DE, and signal corps units were sent to Camp Alfred Vail (later 

Fort Monmouth), NJ. O.R. cavalry units trained at the First Corps Area cavalry training center at Fort Ethan Allen, VT. 

Corps area maneuvers of R.A. mobile units were held, those years when funds were available, at Camp Dix and Pine 

Camp. For the administration of O.R. units, all organizations initially came under the control of the XII Corps, or the 

77th, 78th, and 98th Divs. When the XII Corps was inactivated on 10 October 1925, the HQ, Non-Divisional Group 

was established to direct the organization, training, and administration of all nondivisional units. The corps area was 

further reorganized into three “reserve areas” on 1 February 1937. At that time, HQ, Northern New York Reserve Area 

assumed control of the 98th Div. area (upstate New York); HQ, Southern New York Reserve Area assumed control 

of the 77th Div. area (metropolitan New York and Long Island); and HQ, New Jersey and Delaware Reserve Area 

assumed control of the 78th Div. area. These were further redesignated on 11 May 1937 as the First, Second, and Third 

Military Areas, respectively. Concurrently, the O.R. Section, US Troops, District of Puerto Rico was redesignated HQ, 

Fourth Military Area. Puerto Rico and the islands and keys adjacent thereto were released from corps area control on 

1 July 1939 when the area was organized as the Puerto Rican Department. The Second Corps Area began assigning 

Reserve personnel to CASC units on 20 January 1926 and to “1200” series numbered units on 9 October 1929. The 

Second Corps Area activated its CASUs beginning 14 October 1940 with the 1213th CASU, which was mobilized at 

Fort Dix, NJ, as the post reception center. What made that mobilization unusual was that the unit was mobilized with 

its assigned complement of Reserve personnel. The HQ, Second Corps Area actually began functioning as a service 

command headquarters in October 1940 and was redesignated HQ, Second CASC in May 1941. It was further redesignated HQ, Second Service Command on 22 July 1942.

THIRD CORPS AREA
 

HQ—Fort Howard, MD, 20 August 1920–12 May 1922; Baltimore, MD, 12 May 1922–as of 7 December 1941. 

Established in the US Army on 20 August 1920 with headquarters at Fort Howard, MD, and organized from portions of 

the discontinued Eastern Department. The headquarters was moved to St. Paul Place and Franklin Street in Baltimore, 

MD, on 12 May 1922, to 311 St. Paul Street on 28 June 1928; and subsequently to the US Post Office and Federal 

Court Building on 13 June 1932. The Third Corps Area included the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, 

and the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia was organized into a separate command designated as “HQ, 

District of Washington” on 1 September 1921 and placed under the command of the Third Corps Area. The District 

of Washington was discontinued on 30 September 1927 and those duties were assumed by the 16th Inf. Brig. HQ, 

Third Corps Area was responsible for the mobilization, administration, and training of units of the First and Fourth 

Armies, III and XIII Army Corps, coast defense units of the Third Coast Artillery District, select units of the GHQR, 

and the Z.I. support units of the Third CASC. Mobile units of the corps area, less CD, GHQR, and Z.I. units, were 

assigned to the First and Fourth Armies, 1921–33. With the adoption of the four field army plan on 1 October 1933, 

the mobile units of the Third Corps Area previously assigned to the Fourth Army were reassigned to the First Army or 

GHQR, or demobilized. The Third Corps Area Training Center was established in 1921, originally at Camp George 

G. Meade, MD, to train R.A. and O.R. units of all arms and services, as well as ROTC cadets and CMTC candidates. 

With the inactivation of the Third Corps Area Training Center on 11 September 1922, Camp Meade became the primary training center for corps area infantry and tank units. Air corps units were sent to Langley Field, VA, engineer 

units were sent to Camp A.A. Humphreys, VA, and signal corps units were sent to Camp Alfred Vail (later renamed 

Fort Monmouth), NJ. Additionally, cavalry units were sent to Fort Myer, VA. Corps area maneuvers of R.A. mobile 

units were held, those years when funds were available, at Camp George G. Meade. For the administration of O.R. 

units, all organizations initially came under the control of the III Corps, or the 79th, 80th, and 99th Divs. When the 

III Corps was inactivated in 1925, the HQ, Non-Divisional Group was established to direct the organization, training, 

and administration of all nondivisional units. This arrangement was short-lived. On 22 April 1925, the Non-Divisional 

Group was discontinued and the HQ, Artillery Group was established. This new group managed the corps area nondivisional field artillery units. The rest of the nondivisional units were turned over to direct control of the HQ, Third 

Corps Area. The corps area was reorganized into three “military areas” on 1 October 1939. At that time, the 1st Mil. 

Area assumed control of the 79th Div. area (Eastern Pennsylvania), the 2d Mil. Area assumed control of the 80th Div. 

area (Virginia and Maryland), and the 3d Mil. Area assumed control of the 99th Div. area (Western Pennsylvania). The 

Third Corps Area began assigning Reserve personnel to “1300” series numbered CASC units on 12 August 1929. The 

HQ, Third Corps Area actually began functioning as a service command headquarters in October 1940 and was redesignated HQ, Third CASC in May 1941. It was further redesignated HQ, Third Service Command on 22 July 1942.

FOURTH CORPS AREA
 

HQ—Charleston, SC, 20 August 1920–11 November 1920; Fort McPherson, GA, 12 November 1920–9 April 1923; 

Atlanta, GA, 10 April 1923–29 June 1927; Fort McPherson, GA, 30 June 1927–3 November 1934; Atlanta, GA, 

4 November 1934–as of 7 December 1941. 

Established in the US Army on 20 August 1920 and organized from the discontinued Southeastern Department. The 

HQ was originally located in Charleston, SC, but transferred to Fort McPherson, GA, on 11 November 1920. The HQ 

was relocated to the Rock Building at the corner of Spring and Cain Streets in Atlanta, GA, on 10 April 1923. It was 

returned to Fort McPherson on 30 June 1927 and moved to the new Post Office Building in Atlanta on 3 November 

1934, where it was located at the beginning of World War II. The Fourth Corps Area initially included the states of 

North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The 

state of Arkansas was transferred to the Seventh Corps Area on 1 December 1920. HQ, Fourth Corps Area was responsible for the mobilization, administration, and training of units of the Second and Fifth Armies, IV and XIV Army 

Corps, CD units of the Fourth Coast Artillery District, GHQR units, and Z.I. support units of the Fourth CASC. Mobile 

units of the corps area, less CD, GHQR, and Z.I. units, were assigned to the Second and Fifth Armies, 1921–33. With 

the adoption of the four field army plan on 1 October 1933, the mobile units of the Fourth Corps Area previously 

assigned to the Second and Fifth Armies were reassigned to the Third Army or GHQR or demobilized. The CD units 

in the corps area were assigned to the various HD commands of the Fourth C.A. District. The Fourth Corps Area 

Training Center was established in 1921, originally at Camp McClellan, AL, to train R.A. and O.R. units of all arms 

and services, as well as ROTC cadets and CMTC candidates. With the inactivation of the Fourth Corps Area Training 

Center in 1922, Camp McClellan became the primary training center for corps area infantry units only. Cavalry 

units were to train at Fort Oglethorpe, GA, field artillery units at Camp Bragg, NC, air corps units at Maxwell Field, 

AL, engineers units at Fort Benning, GA, and signal corps units were sent to Camp Alfred Vail (later renamed Fort 

Monmouth), NJ. Corps area maneuvers of mobile units were held, those years when funds were available, at Fort 

Benning. For the administration of O.R. units, all organizations initially came under the control of the IV Corps, or the 

81st, 82d, and 87th Divs. When the IV Corps was inactivated 15 June 1925, the HQ, Artillery Group was established 

to direct the organization, training, and administration of all nondivisional field artillery units. Nondivisional cavalry 

squadrons were placed under the jurisdiction of the commander of Fort Oglethorpe, and all Reserve Air Service units 

were placed under the jurisdiction of the commander of Maxwell Field, AL. The remaining nondividional units were 

placed under the jurisdiction of the HQ, Fourth Corps Area. The corps area was further reorganized into three “military 

areas” on 1 September 1939 to administer O.R. units. At that time, the 1st Mil. Area assumed control of the 81st Div. 

area (Tennessee and North Carolina), the 2d Mil. Area assumed control of the 82d Div. area (Florida, Georgia, and 

South Carolina), and the 3d Mil. Area assumed control of the 87th Div. area (Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi). 

Concurrently, the artillery group at Fort Bragg, which administered all nondivisional field artillery units, was abolished, and the military area headquarters assumed control of all of the nondivisional artillery units in their area. The 

Fourth Corps Area began assigning Reserve personnel to CASC units on 12 September 1929. The HQ, Fourth Corps 

Area actually began functioning as a service command HQ in October 1940 and was redesignated HQ, Fourth CASC 

in May 1941. It was further redesignated HQ, Fourth Service Command on 22 July 1942.

FIFTH CORPS AREA
 

HQ—Fort Benjamin Harrison, IN, 20 August 1920–20 June 1922; Fort Hayes, OH, 20 June 1922–as of 7 December 

1941. 

Established in the US Army on 20 August 1920 with headquarters at Fort Benjamin Harrison, IN, and organized from 

portions of the discontinued Central Department. The headquarters was transferred to Fort Hayes, OH, on 20 June 

1922. The Fifth Corps Area included the states of Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky. HQ, Fifth Corps Area 

was responsible for the mobilization, administration, and training of units of the Second and Fifth Armies, the V and 

XV Army Corps, select GHQR units, and Z.I. support units of the Fifth CASC. Mobile units of the corps area, less 

GHQR, and Z.I. units, were assigned to the Second and Fifth Armies from 1921 to 1933. With the adoption of the four 

field army plan on 1 October 1933, the units of the Fifth Corps Area were reassigned to the Second Army, GHQR, or 

demobilized. The Fifth Corps Area Training Center was established in 1921, originally at Camp Knox, KY (redesignated Fort Knox in 1932), to train R.A. and O.R. units of all arms and services, as well as ROTC cadets and CMTC 

candidates. With the inactivation of the Fifth Corps Area Training Center in October 1922, Camp Knox became the 

primary training center for corps area infantry, cavalry, and field artillery units. Corps area maneuvers of mobile 

units were also held, those years when funds were available, at Camp Knox. For the administration of O.R. units, all 

organizations initially came under the control of the V Corps, or the 83d, 84th, and 100th Divs. When the V Corps 

was inactivated on 15 November 1924, the HQ, Non-Divisional Group was established to direct the organization, 

training, and administration of all nondivisional units. The HQ, Artillery Group was established on 5 September 1925 

at Cincinnati, OH, to direct the organization, training, and administration of all nondivisional field artillery and coast 

artillery antiaircraft units. The corps area was further reorganized into four “military areas” on 28 September 1932. At 

that time, the Ohio Mil. Area assumed control of the 83d Div. area, the Indiana Mil. Area assumed control of the 84th 

Div. area, the West Virginia Mil. Area assumed control of the 100th Div. area less Kentucky, and the Kentucky Mil. 

Area assumed control of Kentucky elements of XV Corps, 100th Div., and 64th Cav. Div. Concurrently, the Artillery 

Group, which administered all nondivisional field artillery and coast artillery units, was abolished and the military 

area headquarters assumed control of the artillery units in their respective areas. The Fifth Corps Area began assigning 

Reserve personnel to “1500” series CASC units on 1 October 1932. The HQ, Fifth Corps Area actually began functioning as a service command headquarters in October 1940 and was redesignated HQ, Fifth CASC in May 1941. It 

was further redesignated HQ, Fifth Service Command on 22 July 1942.

SIXTH CORPS AREA
 

HQ—Fort Sheridan, IL, 20 August 1920–10 October 1921; Chicago, IL, 10 October 1921–as of 7 December 1941. 

Established in the US Army on 20 August 1920 with headquarters at Fort Sheridan, IL. The headquarters was moved 

to the US Post Office Building at 1819 West Pershing Road in Chicago on 10 October 1921. The Sixth Corps Area 

was organized from portions of the discontinued Central Department and included the states of Illinois, Michigan, 

Wisconsin, and Jefferson Barracks, MO. HQ, Sixth Corps Area was responsible for the mobilization, administration, 

and training of units of the Second and Fifth Armies, VI and XVI Army Corps, select GHQR units, and Z.I. support 

units of the Sixth CASC. Mobile units of the corps area, less GHQR, and Z.I. units, were assigned to the Second and 

Fifth Armies from 1921 to 1933. With the adoption of the four field army plan on 1 October 1933, the units of the 

corps area were reassigned to the Second Army or GHQR or demobilized. The Sixth Corps Area Training Center was 

established in 1921, originally at Camp Custer, MI, to train R.A. and O.R. units of all arms and services, as well as 

ROTC cadets and CMTC candidates. With the inactivation of the Sixth Corps Area Training Center in 1922, Camp 

Custer became the primary training center for corps area infantry and field artillery units. Cavalry units were trained at 

Fort Sheridan, IL, and air corps units were trained at Selfridge Field, MI. Corps area maneuvers of mobile units were 

held, those years when funds were available, at Camp Custer. For the administration of O.R. units, all organizations 

initially came under the control of the VI Corps, or the 85th, 86th, and 101st Divs. The HQ, Artillery Group was 

established 27 May 1925 at Chicago to direct the organization, training, and administration of all nondivisional field 

artillery and coast artillery antiaircraft units. When the VI Corps was inactivated, all nondivisional units less those 

under the control of the Artillery Group, were placed under the jurisdiction of HQ, Sixth Corps Area. The corps 

area was further reorganized into three “Reserve districts” in November 1931. At that time, the Michigan Reserve 

District assumed control of the 85th Div. area, the Illinois Reserve District assumed control of the 86th Div. area, 

and the Wisconsin Reserve District assumed control of the 101st Div. area. Concurrently, the Artillery Group at 

Chicago, which administered all corps area nondivisional field artillery and coast artillery units, was abolished and 

the Reserve district headquarters assumed control of the artillery units in their respective areas. The reserve districts 

were redesignated “military areas” in December 1937. The Sixth Corps Area began assigning Reserve personnel to 

CASC units on 9 January 1925 and to “1600” series numbered units on 28 November 1929. The HQ, Sixth Corps 

Area actually began functioning as a service command headquarters in October 1940 and was redesignated HQ, Sixth 

CASC in May 1941. It was further redesignated the Sixth Service Command on 22 July 1942.

SEVENTH CORPS AREA
 

HQ—Fort Crook, NE, 20 August 1920–27 May 1922; Fort Omaha, NE, 27 May 1922–25 March 1929; Omaha, NE, 

25 March 1929–as of 7 December 1941. 

Established in the US Army on 20 August 1920 with headquarters at Fort Crook, NE, and organized from portions 

of the discontinued Central Department. The corps area headquarters was transferred to Fort Omaha, NE, on 27 May 

1922 and further moved to the Army Building at 15th and Dodge Streets in Omaha on 25 March 1929. The Seventh 

Corps Area initially included the states of Missouri (less Jefferson Barracks), Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, 

North Dakota, and South Dakota. The state of Arkansas was transferred from the Fourth Corps Area to the Seventh 

Corps Area on 1 December 1920. HQ, Seventh Corps Area was responsible for the mobilization, administration, and 

training of units of the Third and Sixth Armies, VII and XVII Army Corps, GHQR units, and the Z.I. support units of 

the Seventh CASC. Mobile units of the corps area, less GHQR and Z.I. units, were assigned to the Third and Sixth 

Armies. With the adoption of the four field army plan on 1 October 1933, the units of the Seventh Corps Area were 

reassigned to Fourth Army or GHQR or demobilized. The Seventh Corps Area Training Center was established in 

1921, originally at Fort Snelling, MN, to train R.A. and O.R. units of all arms and services, as well as ROTC cadets 

and CMTC candidates. With the inactivation of the Seventh Corps Area Training Center in 1922, Fort Snelling became 

the primary training center for corps area medical units. Infantry units trained at Forts Crook, Leavenworth, Riley, and 

Snelling; air corps units were sent to Marshal Field, KS; artillery units trained at Fort Riley; and cavalry units trained 

at Forts Riley and Des Moines. Corps area maneuvers of R.A. mobile units were also held, those years when funds 

were available, at Fort Riley or Camp Ripley, MN. For the administration of O.R. units, the corps area was originally 

organized into three division areas (88th, 89th, and 102d) and all divisional units, except cavalry, were administered 

by the headquarters of those three divisions. Cavalry units were administered by the 66th Cav. Div., and nondivisional 

units were administered by the Corps Area headquarters. On 27 January 1923, the HQ, Non-Divisional Group was 

established at the Army Building in Omaha to administer all corps- and army-level units. That headquarters was 

discontinued 21 August 1925 and the HQ, Seventh Corps Area assumed responsibility for the remainder of the corpsand army-level units. The HQ, Artillery Group was established 19 October 1925 at Sioux City, IA. This headquarters 

controlled only the corps- and army-level coast and field artillery units, while the Corps Area headquarters retained 

responsibility for the remainder of the corps- and army-level units. The Artillery Group was discontinued 1 October 

1937. On 2 November 1937, the Seventh Corps Area was further reorganized into three “military areas” and the military area headquarters assumed control of the artillery units in their respective areas. Concurrently, the First Mil. Area 

assumed control of the 88th Div. area, the Second Mil. Area assumed control of the 89th Div. area, and the Third Mil. 

Area assumed control of the 102d Div. area. The Seventh Corps Area was assigning Reserve personnel to CASC units 

by December 1930 and to “1700” series numbered units on 2 August 1939. The HQ, Seventh Corps Area actually 

began functioning as a service command headquarters in October 1940 and was redesignated HQ, Seventh CASC in 

May 1941. It was further redesignated HQ, Seventh Service Command on 22 July 1942.

EIGHTH CORPS AREA
 

HQ—Fort Sam Houston, TX, 20 August 1920–as of 7 December 1941. 

Established in the US Army on 20 August 1920 with headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, TX, and organized from 

portions of the discontinued Southern Department. The Eighth Corps Area included the states of Texas, Oklahoma, 

Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. For administrative purposes and for tactical control in connection with the 

border patrol and field operations incident thereto, that part of the state of Arizona that lies west of the 114 degree 

meridian and south of the 33 degree parallel was attached to the Ninth Corps Area. In May 1927, the Pole Mountain 

Reservation and the post of Fort D.A. Russell (later renamed Fort Francis E. Warren) in Wyoming came under the 

control of the Eighth Corps Area when the 4th Inf. Brig. was transferred to that post from Fort Sam Houston. The 

installations were returned to control of the Ninth Corps Area on 1 July 1939. HQ, Eighth Corps Area was responsible 

for the mobilization, administration, and training of units of the Second and Fifth Armies, VIII and XVIII Army Corps, 

select GHQR units, and the Z.I. support units of the Eighth CASC. Mobile units of the corps area, less GHQR and 

Z.I. units, were assigned to the Third and Sixth Armies from 1921 to 1933. With the adoption of the four field army 

plan on 1 October 1933, the units of the Eighth Corps Area were reassigned to Third Army or GHQR or demobilized. 

The Eighth Corps Area Training Center was established in 1921, originally at Fort Sam Houston, to train R.A. and 

O.R. units of all arms and services, as well as ROTC cadets and CMTC candidates. With the inactivation of the Eighth 

Corps Area Training Center on 31 December 1922, Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis became the primary training 

centers for corps area infantry units. Infantry units also trained at Forts Huachuca and Sill; air corps units were sent 

to Kelly Field, TX; artillery units trained at Forts Sam Houston, Sill, and Bliss; and cavalry units trained at Forts 

Clark and Bliss. Corps area maneuvers of R.A. mobile units were also held, those years when funds were available, 

at Camp Bullis, near Fort Sam Houston, or in west Texas for the 1st Cav. Div. For the administration of O.R. units, all 

organizations initially came under the control of the VIII Corps, or the 90th, 95th, and 103d Divs. Just before HQ, VIII 

Corps was inactivated in November 1925, the HQ, Field Artillery Group was established on 15 October 1925, to direct 

the organization, training, and administration of all nondivisional field artillery and coast artillery units. The Artillery 

Group was short-lived. It was abolished on 20 September 1927 and all nondivisional artillery units were placed under 

the jurisdiction of one of the O.R. divisions. Coast artillery units were placed under the jurisdiction of the commander 

of Fort Crockett, TX. The Eighth Corps Area was further reorganized into three “military areas ” in January 1939. 

At that time, the First Mil. Area assumed control of the 90th Div. area, the Second Mil. Area assumed control of 

the 95th Div. area, and the Third Mil. Area assumed control of the 103d Div. area. The Eighth Corps Area began 

assigning Reserve personnel to CASC units in April 1927. The HQ, Eighth Corps Area actually began functioning as a 

service command headquarters in October 1940 and was redesignated HQ, Eighth CASC in May 1941. It was further 

redesignated HQ, Eighth Service Command on 22 July 1942.

NINTH CORPS AREA
 

HQ—Presidio of San Francisco, CA, 20 August 1920–7 December 1941. 

Established in the US Army on 20 August 1920 with headquarters located in the Cavalry Barracks (Building 35) at 

the Presidio of San Francisco, and organized from portions of the discontinued Western Department. The Ninth Corps 

Area included the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada. For administrative 

purposes and tactical control in connection with the US border patrol and field operations incident thereto, that part of 

the state of Arizona that lies west of the 114 degree meridian and south of the 33 degree parallel was attached to the 

Ninth Corps Area. The territory of Alaska was also attached to the Ninth Corps Area. In May 1927, the Pole Mountain 

Reservation and the post of Fort D.A. Russell (later redesignated Fort Francis E. Warren) came under the control of the 

Eighth Corps Area when the 4th Inf. Brig. was transferred to that post from Fort Sam Houston, TX. These reservations 

were returned to Ninth Corps Area control on 1 July 1939. Mobile units of the corps area, less CD, GHQR, and Z.I. 

units, were assigned to the Third and Sixth Armies. With the adoption of the four field army plan on 1 October 1933, 

the units of the Ninth Corps Area were reassigned to the Fourth Army or GHQR or demobilized. The Ninth Corps 

Area Training Center was established in 1921, originally with headquarters at the Presidio of San Francisco, to train 

R.A. and O.R. units of all arms and services, as well as ROTC cadets and CMTC candidates. With the inactivation 

of the Ninth Corps Area Training Center on 12 September 1922, infantry units trained at Forts Lewis and Douglas 

and the Presidio of Monterey; air corps units were sent to Crissey and Rockwell Fields; artillery units trained at Forts 

Lewis and Douglas; and cavalry units trained at Fort Douglas and Del Monte, CA. Corps area maneuvers of R.A. 

mobile units were also held, those years when funds were available, at Forts Lewis, Douglas, F.E. Warren, and/or 

the Gigling Military Reservation at Del Monte, CA. For the administration of O.R. units, all organizations initially 

came under the control of the IX Corps, or the 91st, 96th, and 104th Divs. When the IX Corps was inactivated, the 

HQ, Non-Divisional Group was established on 9 May 1924 to direct the organization, training, and administration of 

all nondivisional units. The HQ, Artillery Group was established on 1 May 1925 at the Presidio of San Francisco to 

administer all corps area nondivisional field artillery units. The corps area was further reorganized, on an experimental 

basis, into three “military areas ” in July 1928. At that time, the First Military Area assumed control of the 91st Div. 

area, the Second Military Area assumed control of the 96th Div. area, and the Third Military Area assumed control of 

the 104th Div. area. Concurrently, the headquarters for the Non-Divisional and Artillery Groups were abolished and 

the military area headquarters assumed control of all O.R. units in their respective areas, less coast artillery which 

remained under the Ninth Coast Artillery District. The experiment was successful and all other corps areas adopted this 

system by 1939. The Ninth Corps Area was assigning Reserve personnel to CASC units by June 1931. The HQ, Ninth 

Corps Area actually began functioning as a service command headquarters in October 1940 and was redesignated HQ, 

Ninth CASC in May 1941. It was further redesignated HQ, Ninth Service Command on 22 July 1942.

HAWAIIAN DEPARTMENT
 

HQ—Honolulu, TH, 1 October 1911–18 June 1921; Fort Shafter, TH, 19 June1921–as of 7 December 1941.
 

The Hawaiian Department was established in the US Army on 1 October 1911 as a 

separate department with headquarters at Honolulu, TH. The Hawaiian Department 

included all of the Hawaiian Islands and their dependencies. The department had the 

mission of the defense of the Hawaiian archipelago including all land areas, coastal 

defenses, harbor defenses, air defenses and, in coordination with the US Navy, sea 

defenses out to medium bomber range. Additionally, it had the responsibility to lay, 

maintain, and clear harbor defense minefields that would be emplaced in wartime. The 

department’s main defense plan centered on a combination of land, sea, and air forces 

that would work together in joint operations to repel an invasion from the sea. The 

primary ground force was the Hawaiian Division, the US Army’s most complete and 

largest division in the pre-World War II era. The division’s mission called for the 21st 

Inf. Brig. to defend landing areas on the north half of the island of Oahu, while the 22d Inf. Brig. defended the southern 

half. The outlying islands of Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, and Molokai were to be defended by the 298th and 299th Inf. Regts. 

of the Hawaii National Guard. The defense of Oahu’s harbors was a joint responsibility of the US Army and US Navy. 

The Army’s forces consisted of the HD of Pearl Harbor and the HD of Honolulu, which manned fixed and mobile coast 

artillery and antiaircraft artillery positions primarily in the Pearl Harbor and Honolulu harbor areas. Additionally, the 

US Army mine planter boats assigned to the Hawaiian C.A. District would place numerous sea mines in fields protecting the approaches to the harbor areas. The 5th Comp. Gp., and later the 18th Comp. Wing, protected the islands from 

air and sea attack out to medium bomber range. Beyond that limit, the Navy had responsibility for engaging enemy sea 

and air forces. The activities of the department in the prewar years consisted primarily of a series of exercises, usually 

in participation with the Navy, and generally held in February or March of each year. These operations exercised the full 

range of units and at times included marines providing an actual invasion force. The Hawaiian Department established 

the Hawaiian Department Service Command on 1 August 1935 and began assignng both R.A. and Reserve personnel to 

the service command a short time later. The mission of the command was to assist the department commander in ensuring that all military, civil, and industrial mobilization efforts were coordinated during an emergency. As World War II 

approached, the activities of the department increased as did the number of troops stationed in the islands. By October 

1941, the Hawaiian Division had been reorganized into the 24th and 25th Divs, all C.A. assets were integrated into the

PHILIPPINE DEPARTMENT
 

HQ—Fort Santiago, PI, 6 February 1913–as of 7 December 1941. 

The Philippine Department was established in the US Army on 6 February 1913 as a 

separate department with headquarters at Fort Santiago, Manila, PI. The Philippine 

Department included all of the Philippine Archipelago and the US Army Forces in 

China (except during the period 1 April 1923–11 February 1929). The department 

had the mission of the defense of the Philippine archipelago including all land areas, 

coastal defenses, harbor defenses, air defenses, and, in coordination with the US Navy, 

sea defenses out to medium bomber range. Additionally, it had the responsibility to 

lay, maintain, and clear harbor defense minefields that would be emplaced in wartime. 

The department’s main defense plan consisted of a slow and determined retrograde 

operation by US and Philippine Army units southward on the island of Luzon onto the 

Bataan Peninsula. There, a defensive line would be established and anchored on the 

Mariveles Mountains. The 31st Inf. was to deploy to Corregidor as a beach defense 

force to assist the harbor defenses in holding Manila Bay. Department units would continue to defend until reinforcements from the United States and Hawaii relieved them, 

in accordance with War Plan ORANGE. The primary ground forces were the several divisions of the Philippine Army 

and the US Army’s Philippine Division, which was largely manned by Philippine Scouts. The Philippine Division’s 

mission called for the 23d and 24th Inf. Brigs. to concentrate in the vicinity of Fort Stotsenberg, while the 26th Cav. 

screened forward of the division and its flanks. The defense of Manila and Subic Bays was a joint responsibility of the 

US Army and US Navy. The Army’s forces consisted of the Harbor Defenses Manila and Subic Bays, which manned 

fixed and mobile coast artillery positions primarily on Forts Drum (El Fraile) and Mills (Corregidor) and the Bataan 

Peninsula. Additionally, the US Army Mine Planters, Gen. Henry Knox and Gen. Henry J. Hunt, and later the Col. 

George F.E. Harrison, assigned to the Harbor Defenses Manila and Subic Bays, would place numerous sea mines in 

fields protecting the approaches to the harbor areas. The 4th Comp. Gp. protected the islands from air and sea attack out 

to medium bomber range. Beyond that limit, the US Navy had responsibility for engaging enemy sea and air forces. The 

activities of the department in the prewar years consisted primarily of a series of joint exercises with the Navy, usually 

held in January or February of each year. The defense plan was practiced extensively by department units from 1922 

to 1940 and essentially executed, in the macro sense, as planned from December 1941 to May 1942. The department 

also had under its command, at different times, the US Army Forces in China, which had the responsibility of providing protection and stability for the United States’ interests and citizens in the American enclave in Tientsen, China. The 

mission of the US Army Forces in China was discontinued in April 1938 after it became apparent that its maintenance 

was no longer warranted. By April 1941, the Philippine Division had been provisionally reorganized into the “triangular” concept. The air corps units were assigned to the new Far East Air Force, and the HQ, Philippine Department 

was consolidated with HQ, US Army Forces, Far East on 27 July 1941. Such was the organization of the Philippine 

Department forces on 7 December 1941.

PANAMA CANAL DEPARTMENT 

HQ—Ancon, CZ, 26 June 1917–1 April 1920; Quarry Heights, CZ, 1 April 1920–as of 7 December 1941. 

The Panama Canal Department was separated from the Eastern Department on 26 June 

1917 and established in the US Army as a separate command. Initially, the department 

headquarters was at Ancon, CZ, then relocated to Quarry Heights on 1 April 1920. The 

Panama Canal Department included land and sea areas of the Canal Zone and had the 

mission of the defense of the Canal Zone including all land areas, coastal defenses, harbor 

defenses, air defenses, and sea defenses out to medium bomber range. Additionally, it 

had the responsibility to lay, maintain, and clear harbor defense minefields that would 

be emplaced at the entrances to the canal in wartime. The department’s main defense 

plan consisted of opposing landings at either end of the Canal Zone in coordination 

with US naval forces. Initially, the Panama Canal Division was the major land force for 

the defense of the Canal Zone. The division assigned the 19th Inf. Brig. the mission to 

defend beaches and inland areas of the Atlantic side. The 20th Inf. Brig. was assigned 

the mission to defend beaches and inland areas of the Pacific side. The Panama C.A. District was to operate as a 

separate command under the Panama Canal Department and would provide coastal defense against naval vessels 

and landing craft. On 7 May 1931, Major General Preston Brown, the department commander, recommended to the 

War Department that the Panama Canal Division and Panama C.A. District be discontinued, and be replaced by two 

“groups,” which would form integrated commands combining the units of the inactivated division and the existing 

coast artillery harbor defense headquarters. These two commands would be responsible for the defense of the Atlantic 

and Pacific areas. This recommended reorganization was tested during department maneuvers in early 1932, then 

approved by the War Department on 17 March 1932. The reorganization was made permanent on 15 April 1932. The 

changes included the activation of the Headquarters and Headquarters Companies of the Atlantic and Pacific Sectors; 

the integration of all active elements of the inactivated Panama Canal Division, and those of the 1st and 4th C.A. Regts. 

into the sectors. The reorganization also included the inactivation of the following units: HHC, 19th Inf. Brig.; HQ, 

Panama Canal Division; HQ, Special Troops, Panama Canal Division; HQ and M.P. Co., Panama Canal Division; HQ, 

Panama C.A. District; and the 2d and 65th C.A. Regts. The 1st and 4th C.A. Regts. were reorganized under special 

tables of organization to include both harbor defense and antiaircraft battalions in each regiment. Though the Panama 

Canal Division was inactivated, it was kept on the rolls of the Army in an inactive status until 1938 and, theoretically, 

could be reactivated in a matter of hours in the event it was needed for deployment outside of Panama. The sector 

organization (at least as tactical headquarters) was in effect until the C.A. units were relieved from the sectors and 

assigned to the newly organized Panama Separate C.A. Brig. on 1 November 1939. Shortly thereafter, on 16 February 

1940, the Atlantic and Pacific Sectors were discontinued and the remaining ground units were reorganized into the 

Panama Mobile Force. To reinforce the Panama Canal Department, the 18th Inf. Brig. was transferred to the Canal 

Zone on 21 October 1939 and assigned to the Panama Mobile Force. The additional infantry regiments, which arrived 

with the 18th Inf. Brig., made the Panama Mobile Force essentially a division-size organization. Therefore, after the 

reorganization of 1939–40 the ground defense units in the Canal Zone were essentially back to the configuration under 

which they were originally organized in 1921.

Chapter 4 

General Headquarters and Field Armies 

Using the 1920 National Defense Act as its basis for postwar organization of the Army, the War 

Department appointed a special committee on 21 June 1920 to “. . . define the general plan of organization 

to be adopted for the Army provided by the Act of June 4, 1920.” That committee ultimately submitted to 

the War Department a plan that called for a General Headquarters Reserve (GHQR) and six field armies 

consisting of about two million men. After a number of false starts, the concept of a six-army force took 

hold and was solidified in War Department mobilization planning by late 1921. 

The General Headquarters (GHQ) 

Ultimately, the War Plans Division (WPD) determined that another major headquarters (HQ) would 

be needed to assume control over the six field armies in the event of mobilization and function as a theater 

command in the event of an overseas deployment. This realization led to the constitution of the HQ, 

GHQ in 1927. Like most of the changes to the organization of the US Army in the immediate post-World 

War I era, the constitution of the GHQ was an outgrowth of the Army’s experiences with the American 

Expeditionary Force (AEF) in France. Thus, the WPD developed the concept of the GHQ to function as a 

HQ for commanding and controlling the postmobilization training of the six field armies and as an army 

group HQ within the theater of operations. Under this concept, the Chief of Staff, US Army was to take 

command as the army group and theater commander. The HQ for GHQ was to be organized, more or less, 

along the lines of the AEF, with the WPD forming the nucleus of the staff in the event of mobilization. 

The subordinate units of the GHQ consisted of a number of headquarters support units and a number 

of major commands that controlled specialized units assigned to the GHQR, including engineer, signal, and 

chemical units. Other subordinate commands included the six field armies. Most of these elements were 

organized as Organized Reserve (O.R.) or Regular Army Inactive (RAI) units in the late 1920s and early 

1930s, but none actually functioned as controlling HQ. At least once, for the GHQ command post exercise 

(CPX) held in New Jersey in 1934, the GHQ was organized provisionally (General Douglas MacArthur 

commanding) to function as a theater command for a homeland defense exercise. With the creation of the 

GHQ Air Force in 1935 and the Armored Force in 1940, those organizations were added to the list of GHQ 

subordinate commands. 

When the GHQ was activated on 26 July 1940 at the War College in Washington, DC, the original 

mission of the headquarters was modified. Though he was the GHQ commanding general, General George 

C. Marshall, the Army’s Chief of Staff, chose to exercise actual command of the Army’s tactical units 

through the War Department General Staff rather than through the GHQ. Marshall delegated only the 

training functions to the GHQ and charged its chief of staff, Major General Lesley J. McNair, with the 

authority for supervision of the training of the Army’s mobile units. As World War II approached, the role of 

the GHQ remained a training function and a few months after Pearl Harbor, the command was redesignated 

as HQ, Army Ground Forces in recognition of its revised mission.

The Field Armies 

With the adoption of a six field army force in the initial mobilization plans, the WPD further grouped 

the nine corps areas into three “army areas” for mobilization planning and concentration purposes. The 

army areas could have been used for delineating boundaries for continental defense as well, though there 

is little evidence that this use was ever contemplated. The First, Second, and Third Corps Areas constituted 

the First Army Area; the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Corps Areas constituted the Second Army Area; and the 

Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Corps Areas constituted the Third Army Area. The boundaries for the first three 

field armies (First, Second, and Third) were identical with those for the second three field armies (Fourth, 

Fifth, and Sixth). The First through Third Armies would be composed primarily of R.A. and National 

Guard (N.G.) units and were to be in the first phase of mobilization priority. Most logistics and support 

units (i.e., quartermaster, medical, ordnance, etc.) assigned to the first three armies were O.R. units. The 

Fourth through Sixth Armies were to be composed almost entirely of O.R. units and would be mobilized in 

subsequent phases.

Map, Army areas, 1921. 

Organizationally, the field armies before World War II were “type” organizations; that is, there was a 

standard table of organization for all armies. Though planners recognized that an army would need to be 

tailored for its specific theater mission, the units assigned to a type army were thought to be the minimum 

requirements for any given wartime mission. The army could then be supplemented as needed by GHQR 

forces if more combat power or support was needed. The 1921 version of a field army consisted of the

The original mobilization planning that resulted in the constitution of six field army headquarters in 

1921 did not envision the need for active army-level commands in peacetime. These units, therefore, were 

constituted in the O.R. rather than the R.A. The armies were to be manned in peacetime by reservists and 

mobilized in the event of war. Thus, no army headquarters were on Active Duty between 1921 and 1932, 

though most of these armies were active as O.R. pool units for mobilization assignments. None, however, 

exercised command and control of subordinate commands. Between 1927 and 1933, all six of the field army 

headquarters that had been constituted in the O.R. in 1921 were demobilized as the Army wrestled with 

structure, mobilization, and manpower issues. 

The first change came in August 1927 when the HQ, First Army was demobilized at New York City due 

to the need for a three-corps contingency force headquarters around which all then existing active ground 

forces could be rapidly mobilized and employed in an emergency. O.R. units could only be mobilized for up 

to 14 days a year or in the event of a general mobilization for war. RAI units, however, could be mobilized 

100 
by the President for emergencies short of war. Therefore the new army, designated the Seventh Army, was 

constituted in the R.A. and organized as an RAI unit at New York City in place of the old First Army. Two 

months later, the Seventh Army was redesignated as the new First Army. 

The next major change to the field armies came in 1931 when the Army’s Chief of Staff, General 

Douglas MacArthur, directed the War Department General Staff (WDGS) to look at the feasibility of basing 

its mobilization plans on a four-army force, rather than the original six developed in 1921. MacArthur 

directed this study because he believed the previous mobilization plans were based on unsound assumptions 

and plans. McArthur believed the Army would require active field army headquarters before the start of 

mobilization to manage the integration and training of subordinate units as they mobilized. The chief of staff 

judged, rightly, that trying to mobilize a headquarters at the same time as its subordinate commands were 

forming was an inefficient and unmanageable task. MacArthur felt that preexisting field army headquarters 

should fill the command void between the mobilizing field units and the War Department, thereby relieving 

the War Department of organization, supply, and administration of myriad individual units. MacArthur also 

thought that the existing system would be too ponderous in fielding a protective force that might be needed 

in a hurry. He further reasoned that existing mobilization plans were not flexible enough to tailor to the 

needs of the various war plans then in existence. Based on the findings of the directed study, MacArthur 

sent the corps area and department commanders a letter on 9 August 1932 that constituted three new army 

headquarters in the R.A. (the headquarters of the First Army was already constituted) and outlined the 

initial concept and organization for what became known as the “four army” plan. In the letter, MacArthur 

effectively abolished the six army/three army area scheme and directed that for future mobilization planning 

and execution, the US Army would be organized as follows: 

GHQ 

Commanding General: The Chief of Staff 

Staff: War Plans Division, General Staff (and other personnel as designated) 

Field Armies: 

Commanding General: The senior corps area commander in the army area. 

Staff: The corps area chief of staff and such other members of the corps area as designated by the 

commanding general. 

First Army Governors Island, NY Maj. Gen. Dennis E. Nolan 

Army Area Composition: First, Second, and Third Corps Areas 

Mission Area: North Atlantic coastal frontier 

Second Army Fort Sheridan, IL Maj. Gen. Frank Parker 

Army Area Composition: Fifth and Sixth Corps Areas 

Mission Area: Great Lakes and northern land frontier 

Third Army San Antonio, TX Maj. Gen. Edwin B. Winans 

Army Area Composition: Fourth and Eighth Corps Areas 

Mission Area: South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastal frontiers and the southwest land frontier 

Fourth Army Presidio of San Francisco, CA Maj. Gen. Johnson Hagood 

Army Area Composition: Seventh and Ninth Corps Areas 

Mission Area: Pacific coastal frontier 

All four of the new army headquarters were activated at the locations indicated in August or September 

1932. 

Under this new scheme, the senior corps commander in each army area was also designated as the army 

commander. He was given a small army staff to supplement his corps area staff. This new staff was charged 

with the mission of developing and coordinating training and defense plans for the army commander. It 

performed no functions for the corps area. Army commanders were responsible for developing frontier

defense and other operational plans as directed by the War Department; selecting, organizing, and training 

corps and army staffs; supervising assignment of personnel to maintain complete officer rosters for all units; 

conducting training for higher staffs and command echelons; and conducting maneuvers and command post 

exercises. With the adoption of the four army plan, a reorganization of the army areas was also required. 

The change also required a massive reassignment of existing subordinate units in the field armies, 

the demobilization of unneeded units, and the constitution of new units. With the demobilization of the 

headquarters for the Fifth and Sixth Armies, many R.A., N.G., and O.R. units were either reassigned 

to another field army, to the GHQR, to the Zone of the Interior, or to the Communications Zone, or, if 

not needed in the new scheme, were demobilized. Additionally, an intent of these new field armies was 

that many of their subordinate units were to be mobilized rapidly in case of an emergency. Many of the 

organizations previously assigned to the armies were O.R. units that possessed the same mobilization 

limitations previously described. Thus, many of the field armies’ O.R. units were relieved or demobilized 

and replaced in the field army structure by RAI units manned by reservists. All these changes to the new 

field army structure took effect on 1 October 1933. The type field army of 1936 was organized as follows:

From 1933 to 1940 the major activities conducted by the field army headquarters were planning and 

executing a series of army-level CPXs and maneuvers. These training events were funded to the degree that 

one field army could conduct a CPX and another could conduct a maneuver each year. The intent was that 

the army holding the CPX would be the army that would hold the maneuver the following year. This system 

began in 1935 with the First Army maneuver held at Pine Camp, NY. Each year thereafter armies held 

the CPXs and maneuvers as planned until 1940, when all four armies took to the field to hold maneuvers. 

Each army also held maneuvers the following year after the mobilization of the N.G. and thousands of 

reservists. 

A final major change to the army command structure occurred in October 1940 when the headquarters 

of the four field armies were physically separated from the corps areas. At that time each army was 

authorized to fully man its wartime staff and the army commanders were relieved of their duties as corps 

area commanders. Corps areas at that time were also limited to their Zone of the Interior functions as corps 

area service commands and the armies assumed control of all tactical units. Concurrently, command and 

control of the field armies for continental defense and training was transferred to GHQ. From that point 

forward and into World War II, the armies prepared their subordinate commands for war.

The First Army was authorized by the National Defense Act of 1920 and was to 

be composed of units primarily in the First, Second, and Third Corps Areas. The 

headquarters and headquarters company (HHC) were constituted in the O.R. on 15 

October 1921 and allotted to the Second Corps Area. The HQ was initiated on 28 

August 1924 at New York City, NY. The HHC were withdrawn from the O.R. on 15 

August 1927 and demobilized.

HHC, FIRST ARMY (II) 

HQ—Not organized, 1927–32; Governor’s Island, NY, 8 September 1932–19 October 1936; Army Base, Boston, MA, 

20 October 1936–26 October 1938; Governor’s Island, NY, 27 October 1938–5 October 1943 

Constituted in the R.A. on 15 August 1927 as HHC, Seventh Army and allotted to the 

Second Corps Area. Redesignated HHC, First Army on 13 October 1927. HQ, First 

Army was activated 8 September 1932 at Governor’s Island, NY, and assumed control 

over the First, Second, and Third Corps Areas. HQ, First Army was transferred to 

Boston in October 1936 upon the assumption of command of Maj. Gen. Fox Conner, 

the senior corps area commander. It was again transferred to Governor’s Island when 

Maj. Gen. Hugh A. Drum took command in November 1938. The First Army mission 

was to develop defense and operational plans for contingencies in the North Atlantic 

area and the northeastern United States, review the mobilization plans of the First, 

Second, and Third Corps Areas, and oversee the training of mobile units in the Army 

area. As part of its responsibility to oversee training, the First Army planned and 

conducted three major maneuvers between 1935 and 1940. The 1935 maneuver was 

the first of the large pre-World War II army maneuvers and was held at Pine Camp, 

NY, in August 1935. Because of cost constraints, the troops from the Third Corps Area 

could not be transported to Pine Camp and so held their training at Mount Gretna and 

Indiantown Gap, PA. This exercise was designed more to assemble and support a large body of troops than to conduct 

large-scale maneuvers, though some large unit tactical exercises were conducted. The next First Army maneuver was 

also a split exercise. Held in August 1939, the maneuver was conducted in the vicinity of Plattsburg, NY, for the First 

and Second Corps Area troops, and at Manassas, VA, for the Third Corps Area contingent. The primary focus of these 

exercises was to train the field army and corps staffs (all provisionally organized with corps area staffs and assigned 

O.R. officers) to plan and conduct large unit operations. The next maneuver held by the First Army included almost 

all R.A. and N.G. units of the First, Second, and Third Corps Areas in the vicinity of Canton, NY, 4–25 August 1940. 

Three corps headquarters (again organized provisionally), eight divisions, and numerous corps and army support units 

participated in this exercise. The 1940 maneuver was highly ambitious and included full-scale operations across the 

northern portion of the state of New York. Following the 1940 maneuver, the First Army’s order of battle was changed 

to reflect the assignment of the VI Corps to the troop list and the loss of the III Corps to the Fourth Army. Additionally, 

HQ Co., First Army, was activated 18 November 1940 at Governor’s Island. The last pre-World War II maneuver in 

which the First Army participated was the GHQ Carolina maneuvers held 16–27 November 1941. In this maneuver, 

the First Army faced a combined force of the IV Corps and the I Armored Corps along the North Carolina–South 

Carolina border 20 miles north of Camden, SC. This exercise was essentially a test between the old school of attrition 

warfare represented by the I, II, and VI Corps (composed predominantly of “square” N.G. divisions), and the new, 

highly mobile warfare of mechanized forces represented by the I Armored and IV Corps (composed predominantly 

of “triangular” R.A. infantry and armored divisions). The opposing forces each won a phase of the maneuver, so the 

main outcome of the exercise as determined by Gen. Lesley J. McNair was that the First Army was essentially ready 

for war, if given appropriate levels of manning and equipment. The units of the First Army began to return to home 

station at the beginning of December and the First Army HHC returned to Governor’s Island where they were located 

on 7 December 1941. 

Status: HHC are active at Fort George G. Meade, MD, as HHC, First US Army.

The Second Army was authorized by the National Defense Act of 1920 and was 

originally to be composed of units primarily from the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Corps 

Areas. The HHC were constituted in the O.R. on 15 October 1921 and allotted to the 

Sixth Corps Area. Chicago, IL, designated as headquarters on organization, but the 

unit was never organized at that location. The HQ Co. was initiated 5 August 1922 

at Chicago. The HQ Co. was relocated 18 April 1924 to Oglesby, IL. The HHC were

HHC, SECOND ARMY (II) 

HQ—Chicago, IL, 22 August 1932–4 December 1940; Memphis, TN, 5 December 1940–10 June 1946 

The Second Army was demobilized on 15 April 1919 in France. The HHC were 

reconstituted in the R.A. on 9 August 1932 and allotted to the Sixth Corps Area. The 

headquarters was organized 22 August 1932 at Chicago, IL. The HQ Co. was organized 

26 February 1935 at Chicago. Due to the abandonment in 1933 of the “Six Army” plan 

in favor of the “Four Army” plan, the Second Army area was restructured to include 

only the Fifth and Sixth Corps Areas. The Fourth Corps Area was transferred to the 

Third Army. The Second Army mission was to develop defense and operational plans 

for contingencies near the Great Lakes and the north-central United States, review the 

mobilization plans of the Fifth and Sixth Corps Areas, and oversee the training of units 

in the Army area. As part of the responsibility to oversee training, the Second Army 

staff planned, conducted, and/or participated in three major maneuvers between 1936 

and 1941. The August 1936 maneuvers were actually two separate exercises and were 

held at Fort Knox, KY, for the Fifth Corps Area troops, and at Camp Custer-Allegan, 

MI, for the Sixth Corps Area troops. The maneuvers, though in separate locations, 

were tied together by a common scenario and included significantly large numbers of 

Army Air Corps and mechanized units. The next Second Army maneuver was also a split exercise, this time under the 

command of Lt. Gen. Stanley H. Ford. Held in August and September 1940, the maneuver was conducted near Fort 

Knox for the Fifth Corps Area troops, and at Camp McCoy, WI, for the Sixth Corps Area contingent. The primary 

focus of this exercise was to train the army and corps staffs, all of which had been provisionally organized with 

Reserve and R.A. officers and men from corps area staffs. Following the 1940 maneuver, the Second Army order of 

battle was changed to reflect the assignment of the VII Corps to the troop list, and the loss of the V and VI Corps to 

the Third and First Armies, respectively. Additionally, HQ Co., Second Army was activated 18 November 1940 at 

Chicago. To have more efficient command and control of the Second Army’s subordinate units, then mobilizing and 

concentrating in Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana, Lt. Gen. Ben Lear moved the army headquarters to 44 South 

Second Street, Memphis, TN, on 5 December 1940. The final maneuver in which the Second Army participated prior 

to World War II was the huge GHQ maneuvers in the Louisiana Maneuver Area in September 1941. The exercise 

included over 120,000 Second Army soldiers from R.A. and N.G. units. The maneuver was conducted against the units 

of the Third Army between Shreveport and Lake Charles, LA, 15–28 September 1941. Five corps, 18 divisions, and 

numerous support units participated in this exercise, which was the largest of all peacetime maneuvers ever conducted 

in the United States. These maneuvers were designed to test and validate myriad doctrinal and organizational ideas, 

and to provide a basis for modernizing the US Army. Following the maneuvers, the Second Army HHC returned to 

Memphis where they were located on 7 December 1941. 

Status: Inactive in the R.A. as the Second US Army.

HHC, THIRD ARMY (II) 

HQ—Fort Sam Houston, TX, 15 September 1932–5 October 1936; Atlanta, GA, 5 October 1936–30 September 1940; 

Fort Sam Houston, TX, 1 October 1940–11 November 1940; San Antonio, TX, 11 November 1940–20 December 

The Third Army was demobilized 2 July 1919 at Coblenz, Germany. The HHC were 

reconstituted in the R.A. on 9 August 1932 and allotted to the Eighth Corps Area. 

The headquarters was organized 15 September 1932 at Fort Sam Houston, TX. The 

headquarters was moved to Atlanta, GA, on 20 October 1936 upon the assumption of 

command of Maj. Gen. George Van Horn Moseley, the senior corps area commander. 

It was relocated in 1940 to the Smith-Young Tower in San Antonio when Lt. Gen. 

Herbert J. Brees took command. Due to the abandonment in 1933 of the “Six Army” 

plan in favor of the “Four Army” plan, the Third Army area was restructured to include 

only the Fourth and Eighth Corps Areas. The Seventh and Ninth Corps Areas were 

transferred to the Fourth Army. The Third Army mission was to develop defense and 

operational plans for contingencies in the vicinity of the Gulf of Mexico and the southern United States, review the 

mobilization plans of the Fourth and Eighth Corps Areas, and oversee the training of units in the army area. As part 

of the responsibility to oversee training, the Third Army staff planned, conducted, and/or participated in four major 

maneuvers between 1938 and 1941. The August 1938 maneuvers, under the command of Maj. Gen. George Van Horn 

Moseley, were actually five separate exercises. Due to the widely scattered posts and size of the army’s two subordinate 

corps areas, it was too expensive to concentrate all Third Army units at one location. Therefore, the Fourth Corps Area 

held its maneuver in Mississippi’s DeSoto National Forest and the Eighth Corps Area held its major maneuver at Camp 

Bullis, TX, but also had smaller exercises at Fort Bliss, TX; Fort Huachuca, AZ; and Pole Mountain Reservation, WY. 

The maneuvers, though in separate locations, were tied together by a common scenario and included significantly 

large numbers of horse cavalry units. The next Third Army maneuver was held in the Kisatchie National Forest, LA, 

this time under the command of Lt. Gen. Stanley Embick. Held in May 1940, primary focus of this exercise was to 

train the army and corps staffs in the movement and employment of large troop concentrations and the new triangular 

divisions against a mobile enemy. These exercises included only R.A. units of the army area. This maneuver was 

followed in August by the concentration in Louisiana of the entire Third Army including N.G. units, the training of 

which was the primary goal of the effort. After the 1940 maneuvers, the organization of the Third Army was changed 

to reflect the addition of the V Corps to the Army’s troop list. Additionally, the Third Army HQ Co. was activated 

23 November 1940 at Fort Sam Houston. The final maneuver in which the Third Army participated prior to World 

War II was the GHQ Maneuvers in the Louisiana Maneuver Area in September 1941. The exercise included over 

280,000 Third Army soldiers from R.A. and N.G. units under the command of Lt. Gen. Walter Krueger. The maneuver 

was conducted against the Second Army between Shreveport and Lake Charles, LA, 15–28 September 1941. Five 

corps, 18 divisions, and numerous support units participated in this exercise, which was the largest of all peacetime 

maneuvers ever conducted in the United States. These maneuvers were designed to test and validate myriad doctrinal 

and organizational ideas, and to provide a basis for modernizing the US Army. On completion of the maneuvers, the 

Third Army HHC returned to San Antonio where they were located on 7 December 1941. 

Status: HHC active in the R.A. at MacDill Air Force Base, FL, as HHC, Third Army.

HQ—Not initiated, 1921–33 

The Fourth Army was authorized by the National Defense Act of 1920 and was originally 

to be composed of O.R. units primarily from the First, Second, and Third Corps Areas. 

The HHC were constituted in the O.R. on 15 October 1921 and allotted to the Second 

Corps Area. New York City, NY, designated as headquarters upon organization, but the 

unit was never organized at that location. The HQ Co. was initiated in December 1922 

at New York City. The HQ Co. was withdrawn from the O.R. on 18 August 1933 and 

allotted to the R.A. effective 1 October 1933. Concurrently, the HQ was demobilized.

HHC, FOURTH ARMY (II)
 

HQ—Omaha, NE, 15 August 1932–2 October 1933; Presidio of San Francisco, CA, 3 October 1933–7 December 

Headquarters, Fourth Army was constituted in the R.A. on 9 August 1932 and allotted 

to the Seventh Area. The headquarters was organized 15 August 1932 at Omaha, 

NE. The HQ Co. (constituted in the O.R. on 15 October 1921) was withdrawn from 

the O.R. 18 August 1933, and allotted to the R.A. effective 1 October 1933. The 

army headquarters was transferred to the Presidio of San Francisco on 3 October 

1933 upon the assumption of command of Maj. Gen. Malin Craig, the senior corps 

area commander. Due to the abandonment in 1933 of the “Six Army” plan in favor 

of the “Four Army” plan, the Fourth Army area was restructured to consist of the 

Seventh and Ninth Corps Areas. The Fourth Army mission was to develop defense 

and operational plans for contingencies in the vicinity of the Pacific Coast and the 

western United States, review the mobilization plans of the Seventh and Ninth Corps 

Areas, and oversee the training of units in the army area. As part of the responsibility to oversee training, the Fourth 

Army planned, conducted, and/or participated in three major maneuvers between 1937 and 1941. The 1937 maneuvers, 

under the command of Maj. Gen. George S. Simonds, were actually four separate exercises and were held at Fort 

Riley, KS, and Camp Ripley, MN, for the Seventh Corps Area troops, and at Camp San Luis Obispo, CA, and Fort 

Lewis, WA, for the Ninth Corps Area troops. The next Fourth Army maneuver was also a split exercise, this time under 

the command of Lt. Gen. John L. DeWitt. Held in August 1940, the maneuver was conducted near Camp Ripley for the 

Seventh Corps Area units and at Fort Lewis for the Ninth Corps Area contingent. A primary focus of this exercise was 

to train the army and corps staffs, all of which had been provisionally organized from the corps area staffs. Following 

the 1940 maneuver, the organization of the Fourth Army was changed to reflect the assignment of the III Corps to the 

troop list and the loss of the VII Corps to the Second Army. Additionally, the Fourth Army HQ Co. was activated on 

18 November 1940 at the Presidio of San Francisco, CA. The final maneuver in which the Fourth Army participated 

prior to World War II was the GHQ Fourth Army Maneuver in southwest Washington State in August and September 

1941. The exercise included over 120,000 Fourth Army soldiers from R.A. and N.G. units. Following the maneuvers, 

the Fourth Army returned to its station at the Presidio of San Francisco where it was located on 7 December 1941. 

Status: Inactive in the R.A. as the Fourth US Army.

HHC, FIFTH ARMY Organized Reserve Ohio/Indiana 

HQ—Not initiated, 1921–33 

The Fifth Army was authorized by the National Defense Act of 1920 and was originally 

to be composed of O.R. units primarily from the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Corps Areas. 

The HHC were constituted in the O.R. on 15 October 1921 and allotted to the Fifth Corps 

Area. Columbus, OH, was designated as headquarters upon organization, but the unit 

was never organized at that location. The HQ Co. was initiated in 1922 in Columbus. 

Columbus remained the Fifth Army’s designated headquarters location upon the event 

of its activation until 16 July 1932 when Indianapolis, IN, was designated as the army’s 

new headquarters location. Due to the abandonment of the “Six Army” plan in favor 

of the “Four Army” plan, the Fifth Army was deleted from the mobilization plans on 

1 October 1933 and demobilized. Its subordinate units were reassigned to the Second 

Army, the GHQR, or demobilized.

HHC, SIXTH ARMY Organized Reserve Arkansas/Missouri 

HQ—Not initiated, 1921–24; St. Louis, MO, 1924–33 

The Sixth Army was authorized by the National Defense Act of 1920 and was 

originally to be composed of O.R. units primarily from the Seventh, Eighth, and 

Ninth Corps Areas. The HHC were constituted in the O.R. on 15 October 1921 and 

allotted to the Seventh Corps Area. Little Rock, AR, was designated as headquarters 

upon organization, but the unit was never organized at that location. The HQ Co. 

was initiated 13 October 1922 at Little Rock. Little Rock remained the Sixth Army’s 

headquarters location upon the event of its activation until 25 February 1924 when 

St. Louis, MO, was designated as the army’s new headquarters location. The army 

headquarters was initiated in August 1924 at St. Louis. The HQ Co. was inactivated 

at Little Rock on 1 October 1924 and relocated to St. Louis. Due to the abandonment 

of the “Six Army” plan in favor of the “Four Army” plan, the Sixth Army was deleted from the mobilization plans on 1 

October 1933 and demobilized. Its subordinate units were reassigned to the Fourth Army, the GHQR, or demobilized.

Chapter 5 

Corps 

In July 1921, 18 corps headquarters were constituted in the US Army to support the six-army plan 

called for by the mobilization plans developed in 1920–21. Each field army was to consist of three corps. 

For some unknown reason, the lower numbered corps (i.e., the I through IX Corps), less the II Corps, were 

constituted or reconstituted in the Organized Reserve (O.R) even though these corps were to consist primarily of Regular Army (R.A.) and National Guard (N.G.) units. The II Corps was constituted in the N.G. 

Moreover, the higher numbered corps, the XI through XIX Corps (there was no X Corps), were constituted 

in the R.A. despite the fact that all of their subordinate units were O.R. units. Another anomaly was that 

only the VIII and IX Corps traced their lineages to their World War I counterparts. The remaining corps 

were newly constituted and bore no connection to previously existing units. 

Each of the nine corps areas was allotted two “type” corps for mobilization responsibility. The designation of these corps were related to the corps area designation. For example, the First Corps Area was 

allotted the I and XI Corps, the Second Corps Area was allotted the II and XII Corps, and so forth. By the 

end of 1922, all of the corps headquarters had been organized or initiated except the II Corps. That corps 

was placed on the deferred list in July 1923, temporarily allotted to the O.R. as a Deferred National Guard 

(DNG) unit, and initiated shortly thereafter with Reserve personnel. None of the corps headquarters were 

assigned a commanding general, and it is unlikely that any of them were ever more than 50 percent complete in terms of their authorized officer strength and far less than that in regard to enlisted reservists. 

Nine of the corps headquarters (one in each of the nine corps areas) were partially activated during 

1921–22 to function as the administrative headquarters for O.R. nondivisional units (less coast artillery 

[C.A.] units in the five corps areas where the C.A. districts were located). The active headquarters included 

the III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, XI, and XII Corps. These corps headquarters were largely organized with 

Reserve personnel, but possessed a small R.A. staff to carry out the headquarters administrative duties concerning the O.R. units under its control. The R.A. staff was organized as follows: 

Corps Staff: 

Chief of Staff colonel 

Adjutant General/G1 lieutenant colonel 

Assistant Chief of Staff, General Staff G3 lieutenant colonel 

Assistant Chief of Staff, General Staff G3 major 

Senior Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) staff sergeant 

Administrative Sergeant sergeant 

Enlisted clerk corporal 

Enlisted clerk/driver private 

By 1925, these headquarters were inactivated due to budget constraints and congressional pressure to 

eliminate them, but remained organized with Reserve personnel. The functions of the corps headquarters, 

in most corps areas, were taken over by two new commands designated as the Non-Divisional Group and 

the Artillery Group. 

Like their higher headquarters, the field armies, the interwar corps were “type” organizations. They 

consisted of a standard set of subordinate units necessary for wartime missions. The type corps of 1921 

consisted of the following: 

“Type” Corps 1921

Beginning in 1927, a series of changes took place that affected the designation, component, and even 

the existence of the corps headquarters. In August 1927, the I, II, and III Corps were withdrawn from the 

O.R. and demobilized. Three new corps headquarters, the XX, XXI, and XXII, were constituted in the R.A. 

and allotted to the First, Second, and Third Corps Areas, respectively. These three corps were constituted 

and assigned to the new Seventh Army to form the basis of a contingency force around which all preexisting 

active ground forces could be rapidly mobilized and employed in an emergency. These corps were further 

redesignated as the new I, II, and III Corps that October. 

Also in August 1927, the IV through VII Corps were withdrawn from the O.R. and allotted to the R.A. 

The remaining two lower numbered corps, the VIII and IX Corps, were not withdrawn from the O.R. and 

allotted to the R.A. until October 1933.

Additionally, the month of August 1927 also saw the addition of a new specialized corps to the US 

Army structure. This was the constitution of the I Cavalry Corps in the R.A. As originally contemplated, 

the I Cavalry Corps was to consist only of those elements needed to support the corps headquarters for 

limited tactical operations. However, up to three cavalry divisions, field artillery, and other logistics support 

units could be attached from the field army in theater, or attached from the General Headquarters Reserve 

(GHQR), for larger tactical operations. The operations of the I Cavalry Corps were to be of relatively short 

duration, then its attached elements would be returned to their parent headquarters. 

With the implementation of the four army plan on 1 October 1933, many of the corps underwent 

changes to their field army reassignments. Concurrently, the nine high numbered corps were withdrawn 

from the R.A. and demobilized; new and identically numbered corps were constituted and allotted to the 

O.R. Additionally, the I through IX Corps were partially activated with dual-hatted R.A. personnel from 

corps area headquarters and Reserve personnel from each corps area at large. Even though these corps were 

partially active, they still were not assigned a commanding general, nor did they function as command and 

control headquarters. 

By 1936, the structure of the corps troop list had changed slightly from the early 1920s. The primary 

difference being in the number of R.A. support units versus O.R. units and the structure of the corps logistics units. A type corps in 1936 was organized as follows:

Although the corps headquarters were largely pool units in the 1920s and 1930s, some, mostly the lower 

numbered corps, still occasionally participated in major training events. Functioning in a provisional status, 

many corps headquarters were assembled for participation in a number of corps area and army command 

post exercises and maneuvers. Though these activities had no official standing in terms of Active Duty for 

the corps headquarters, they did give those regulars, guardsmen, and reservists who were permanently or 

temporarily assigned or attached to the headquarters an opportunity for staff training at higher levels of 

command. 

In October 1939, the IV Corps Headquarters (HQ) was activated at Fort Benning, GA, to serve as a 

maneuver headquarters to test the new triangular division structure during a series of tests in the winter and 

spring of 1940. The remaining eight lower numbered corps were activated between August and December 

1940 to assume command and control of the R.A. and N.G. divisions mobilizing across the United States 

for World War II service. None of the higher numbered corps were activated until after Pearl Harbor.

HQ—Not organized, 1927–32; Des Moines, IA, 1932–40; Inactive, 1 October 1940–as of 7 December 1941 

Constituted in the R.A. on 15 August 1927 and allotted to the Seventh Corps Area. Under the original special 

instructions from the War Department, the corps headquarters and headquarters troop (HHT) would be organized from 

enlisted personnel from Fort Des Moines and Reserve personnel in the Des Moines area for mobilization purposes. 

The HQ was organized by November 1932 with O.R. personnel as a Regular Army Inactive (RAI) unit at Des Moines, 

IA (the HQ troop had been previously organized about August 1929 with O.R. personnel as a RAI unit also at Des 

Moines). The corps HQ was further partially activated on 1 October 1933 by the assignment of several R.A. officers 

for mobilization purposes. The personnel assigned to the corps HQ conducted summer training as individual attendees 

most years at Fort Des Moines and as a unit for at least 1 year, in July 1939, at Fort Riley. On several occasions, the 

corps HQ was provisionally organized for command post exercises (CPXs) such as the General Headquarters (GHQ) 

CPX held at Fort Monmouth, NJ, in August and September 1934. The designated mobilization station for the corps 

HQ was Fort Riley, KS, where it would assume command and control of its assigned subordinate corps troops, which 

would be mobilizing primarily in the Seventh Corps Area. The corps HQ was never fully activated and all personnel 

were relieved from assignment by 1 October 1940.

corps HQ was partially activated at Boston with R.A. personnel from HQ, First Corps 

Area and Reserve personnel from the corps area at large. As an RAI unit from 1933 

to 1940, the corps HQ was occasionally organized provisionally for short periods 

using its assigned Reserve officers and staff officers from HQ, First Corps Area. These 

periods included several First Corps Area and First Army CPXs in the 1930s and the 

First Army Maneuvers in New York in 1935, 1939, and 1940. HQ, I Corps was fully 

activated 1 November 1940, less Reserve personnel, at 1429 Senate Street, Columbia, 

SC, and assumed command and control of the 8th, 9th, and 30th Divisions. The HHC

were transferred to Fort Jackson, SC, on 20 February 1941, once space for the corps HQ became available on the post. 

The I Corps participated in the Carolina Maneuvers in November 1941 as part of the First Army. After the maneuver, 

the I Corps returned to Fort Jackson, where it was located on 7 December 1941.

from 1933 to 1940, the corps HQ was organized provisionally for short periods using 

its assigned Reserve officers and staff officers from HQ, Second Corps Area. These periods of provisional Active 

Duty were generally for CPXs and major maneuvers such as the First Army Maneuvers in 1935, 1939, and 1940. The 

II Corps HQ was fully activated on 1 August 1940, less Reserve personnel, at Fort Jay, and assumed command and 

control of the 1st, 27th, and 44th Divisions for participation in the 1940 First Army Maneuvers. After the maneuver, 

the 1st Division was transferred to the VI Corps, the 27th Division was transferred to the VII Corps, and the 28th 

146 
and 29th Divisions were assigned to the II Corps. The corps HHC were transferred temporarily to Fort George G. 

Meade, MD, from 10 to 26 December 1940, after which they were transferred to the Pennsylvania Railroad Building, 

Wilmington, DE, arriving there 26 December 1940. The corps participated in the Carolina Maneuvers in September– 

November 1941 as part of the First Army. After the maneuver, the corps HQ began to return to Wilmington and was 

en route to home station on 7 December 1941.

less field and C.A., in the Third Corps Area. The HQ Co. was initiated in April 1923 

with O.R. personnel at Norristown, PA. The HQ was relieved from Active Duty in 

early 1925 and all R.A. personnel were reassigned to the HQ, Non-Divisional Group, 

Third Corps Area, which assumed the responsibilities previously held by the III Corps. Both the HQ and the HQ Co. 

remained active in the O.R. The III Corps HHC were withdrawn from the O.R. and demobilized on 15 August 1927. 

Concurrently, all O.R. personnel were relieved from assignment.

for the corps HQ was Camp George G. Meade, MD, where it would assume command and control of its assigned 

subordinate corps troops which would then be mobilizing primarily in the Third Corps Area. However, the III Corps 

was fully activated on 18 December 1940, less Reserve personnel, at the Presidio of Monterey, CA, and concurrently 

relieved from the First Army and assigned to the Fourth Army. Upon activation, the 8th, 28th, and 29th Divisions were 

relieved from the troop list and the corps assumed command and control of the 7th and 40th Divisions. The corps HQ 

Co. was activated on 10 February 1941 at Fort Ord. The corps participated in the Fourth Army Maneuvers in August

Constituted in the O.R. on 29 July 1921, allotted to the Fourth Corps Area, and 

assigned to the Second Army. Per General Order #12, Fourth Corps Area, the Corps 

HQ was activated 1 March 1922 at 25 West Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA, with R.A. 

and O.R. personnel. The HQ Co. was initiated 29 March 1922 in Atlanta. The corps 

HQ was moved on 3 September 1924 to the Glenn Building at Spring and Marietta 

Streets. The corps HQ was responsible for providing and planning administration, 

organization, supply, and training for army, corps, and other nondivisional O.R. units, 

less field and C.A., in the Fourth Corps Area. The HQ was relieved from Active Duty 

on 15 June 1925 and all R.A. personnel reassigned to the HQ, Non-Divisional Group, 

Fourth Corps Area, which assumed the responsibilities previously held by the IV 

Corps. Both the HQ and HQ Co. remained active in the O.R. HQ, IV Corps was withdrawn from the O.R. on 15 

August 1927 and allotted to the R.A. The HQ Co. was withdrawn from the O.R. on 1 October 1933 and allotted to the 

R.A. Concurrently, the corps HQ was partially activated at Atlanta with R.A. personnel from HQ, Fourth Corps Area, 

and O.R. personnel from the corps area at large. As part of the reorganization of the four army plan put into effect on 

1 October 1933, the IV Corps was relieved from the Second Army and assigned to the Third Army. Though an RAI 

unit from 1927 to 1940, the corps HQ was occasionally organized provisionally for short periods using its assigned 

Reserve officers and staff officers from HQ, Fourth Corps Area. These periods of provisional Active Duty were generally for CPXs and major maneuvers such as Third Army CPXs in the 1930s and the Third Army Maneuvers in the 

DeSoto National Forest in August 1938. The designated mobilization station for the corps HQ was Camp McClellan, 

AL, where it would assume command and control of its assigned subordinate corps troops, which would then be mobilizing primarily in the Fourth Corps Area. However, the HQ was fully activated on 20 October 1939, less Reserve personnel, at Fort Benning, GA, instead. There the corps assumed command and control of the 1st, 5th, and 6th Divisions 

for maneuvers at Fort Benning in April and for the Third Army Maneuvers against the IX Corps (Provisional) in 

May. Those divisions were relieved from the IV Corps on 1 August 1940 and the 4th, 30th, and 31st Divisions were 

assigned. With these divisions, the corps participated in the Louisiana Maneuvers in the Kisatchie National Forest in 

August 1940. Upon the IV Corps’ arrival at Camp Blanding, FL, on 9 November 1940, the 31st Division was relieved 

from the corps’ troop list and the 43d Division was assigned. On 20 November 1940, the corps HQ Co. was activated 

at Camp Blanding. Less than a month later, the HQ was transferred to its new location at 137 East Forsyth Street in 

Jacksonville, FL. In July 1941, the corps, now consisting of the 4th, 30th and 43d Divisions, departed for the Louisiana 

Maneuver Area to participate in the Third Army Maneuvers near Camp Beauregard. While there, the corps also participated in the GHQ Maneuvers in September–October 1941 near Oberlin, LA. After the 1941 Louisiana Maneuvers, 

the corps moved to the Carolina Maneuver Area near Chester, SC, to participate in the GHQ First Army Maneuver. 

After this active schedule, the corps HQ returned to Jacksonville where it was located on 7 December 1941.

Birmingham, AL, 1941 

Constituted in the O.R. on 29 July 1921, allotted to the Seventh Corps Area and assigned 

to the Third Army. Per General Order #2, HQ, Seventh Corps Area, the Corps HQ was 

activated on 9 January 1922 at the Old Customhouse, 3d and Olive Streets, St. Louis, 

MO, with R.A. and O.R. personnel. The Corps HQ was responsible for providing 

and planning administration, organization, supply, and training for army, corps, and 

other nondivisional O.R. units, less field and C.A., in the Seventh Corps Area. The 

HQ was relieved from Active Duty on 27 January 1923 and all R.A. personnel were 

reassigned to the HQ, Non-Divisional Group, Seventh Corps Area, which assumed 

the responsibilities previously held by the VII Corps. Both the HQ and the HQ Co. 

remained active in the O.R. The VII Corps HQ was withdrawn from the O.R. on 15 

August 1927 and allotted to the R.A. As part of the reorganization of the four army plan 

put into effect on 1 October 1933, the VII Corps was relieved from the Third Army and 

assigned to the Fourth Army. Concurrently, the VII Corps HQ was partially activated 

at Omaha, NE, with R.A. personnel assigned to HQ, Seventh Corps Area, and Reserve personnel from the corps area 

at large. On the same date, the HQ Co., VII Corps was withdrawn from the O.R. and allotted to the R.A. As an RAI 

unit, the Corps HQ was organized provisionally for short periods using its assigned Reserve officers and staff officers 

from HQ, Seventh Corps Area. These periods included several Second Army CPXs in the 1930s and the Fourth Army 

Maneuvers at Camp Ripley, MN, in August 1937. The designated mobilization station for the Corps HQ from 1927 

to 1939 was Camp Pike, AR, where it would assume command and control of its assigned subordinate corps troops, 

which would then be mobilizing primarily in the Seventh Corps Area. Although the 1939 Protective Mobilization Plan 

changed the mobilization station for the Corps HQ to Fort Snelling, MN, the HQ, VII Corps was ultimately activated 

on 25 November 1940, less Reserve personnel, at Fort McClellan, AL. The HQ Co. had been activated there 2 weeks 

before on 10 November. At Fort McClellan, the VII Corps assumed command and control of the 27th, 33d, and 35th 

Divisions. The Corps HQ was transferred on 25 January 1941 to the Ramsey Building at 19th Street and North E 

Avenue, Birmingham, AL. The Corps participated in the Tennessee Maneuvers in May–June 1941 and the Louisiana 

Maneuvers in September–October 1941 as part of the Second Army. After the Louisiana Maneuvers, the Corps HQ 

returned to Birmingham, where it was located on 7 December 1941.

the corps HQ was partially activated with R.A. personnel from HQ, Ninth Corps Area and Reserve personnel from the 

corps area at large. As part of the reorganization of the four army plan put into effect on 1 October 1933, the IX Corps 

was relieved from the Third Army and assigned to the Fourth Army. As an RAI unit from 1933 to 1940, the corps 

HQ was occasionally organized provisionally for short periods using its assigned Reserve officers and staff officers 

from HQ, Ninth Corps Area. These periods included several Fourth Army CPXs in the 1930s and the Fourth Army 

Maneuvers at Fort Lewis, WA, in August 1940. The IX Corps HQ was activated on 24 October 1940, less Reserve 

personnel, at Fort Lewis where it assumed command and control of the 3d and 41st Divisions. The corps participated 

in the Fourth Army Maneuvers during May–August 1941 at Camp Hunter-Liggett, CA. After the maneuvers, the corps 

HQ returned to Fort Lewis where it was located on 7 December 1941.

HHC, XI CORPS (I) Regular Army Inactive 

HQ—Boston, MA, 1921–33 

The XI Corps was authorized by the National Defense Act of 1920, and was to be 

composed of units of the O.R. located primarily in the First Corps Area. The HHC were 

constituted on 29 July 1921 in the R.A., allotted to the First Corps Area, and assigned 

to the Fourth Army. The HQ was activated about 24 October 1921 with R.A. and O.R. 

personnel at the Custom House Tower in Boston, MA. The HQ Co. was initiated at 

Boston about December 1922. For annual summer training, the corps HQ planned and 

conducted an officers’ training school 3–15 September 1922 and a staff training exercise 

in July 1924 at Camp Devens, MA. The HQ was relieved from Active Duty in 1925 and 

all R.A. personnel were reassigned to the HQ, Non-Divisional Group, First Corps Area, 

which assumed the responsibilities previously held by the XI Corps. Both the HQ and 

the HQ Co. remained active in the O.R. The HQ was withdrawn from the R.A. on 1

HHC, XIII CORPS (I) Regular Army Inactive 

HQ—Fort Howard, MD, 1921–25; Inactive, 1925–33 

The XIII Corps was authorized by the National Defense Act of 1920, and was to be 

composed of units of the O.R. located primarily in the Third Corps Area. The HHC were 

constituted on 29 July 1921 in the R.A., allotted to the Third Corps Area, and assigned 

to the Fourth Army. The HQ was organized about November 1921 with O.R. personnel 

at Fort Howard, MD. The HQ Co. was organized with O.R. personnel in February 1923 

at York, PA. Though there seems to be no definitive information available, the corps 

HQ appears to have been inactivated sometime in 1925. The HQ Co. was inactivated 

on 19 July 1929 at Fort Howard. The HQ was withdrawn from the R.A. on 1 October 

1933 and demobilized.

Corps Area Training Centers
 

US Army Signal Corps, National Archives II 

Artillerymen of the 102d Field Artillery, Massachusetts National Guard conduct live firing at Camp Devens. 

The corps area training centers were a direct result of provisions of the National Defense Act of 1920 

(Public Law 242), which provided for Regular Army (R.A.) oversight for training of the civilian components and programs of the Army of the United States. These included the National Guard (N.G.) (for which 

the centers would primarily provide only advisory and demonstration functions), the Organized Reserve 

(O.R.), the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), and the Citizens Military Training Camps (CMTC). 

In addition to the officers and men assigned to function year-round as instructors and support staffs for these 

organizations, in the postwar army structure the War Plans Division provided for nine training centers, one 

for each corps area, which would support the summer training of the civilian components and programs. 

Each of these centers was to be commanded by a brigadier general who answered to his respective 

corps area commander. Each training center was to consist of two distinct elements: a training group and 

a depot group. The training group was to consist of an infantry regiment, in most cases reduced to about 

one battalion’s strength; a cavalry troop; an artillery battery; and an engineer company. These organizations 

would function as demonstration and training support units for the citizen soldiers performing their training at the training center. The depot groups were a holdover from the Army’s World War I experience with 

depot brigades, which provided the same recruit in-processing, development, and basic training functions 

as those assigned to these new training centers. The depots were to consist of an illiterate and development 

187 
 

 

section for training marginally educated recruits and a recruit training section that performed basic training 

for the R.A. recruits of the corps area. 

These training centers were a good step toward a cohesive system of developing the post-World War 

I Army, but the overhead units set aside specifically to support them soon became a luxury that could not 

be supported by diminishing military budgets. As a result, all nine centers were discontinued by December 

1922 and their units were returned to the mobile army as active combat organizations. The roles and functions of the centers at that point were placed squarely on the mobile units of the R.A. burdening them with 

a mission that reduced their ability to prepare for the emergencies for which they might be called on to 

address.

and assisting the annual summer training of all R.A., O.R., ROTC, and CMTC personnel and units from the states of 

Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. The training center was split into 

two training locations—Camp Devens, MA, and Fort Ethan Allen, VT. The center’s training units at Camp Devens 

were responsible for training units of all arms and services except cavalry and field artillery, which were to train Fort 

Ethan Allen, VT. With the inactivation of the training center HQ in 1922, Camp Devens remained the primary training 

center for corps area infantry units—air corps units were sent to Mitchel Field, NY; engineers were sent to Fort Du 

Pont, DE; and signal corps units were sent to Camp Alfred Vail (later renamed Fort Monmouth), NJ. Fort Ethan 

Allen remained the training center for cavalry and field artillery units. The HQ, First Corps Area Training Center was

In the spring of 1919, General John J. Pershing convened the Superior Board to, among other things, 

analyze the performance of the heavy “square” division used by the American Expeditionary Force (AEF) 

in World War I. The board provided its recommendation that July which stated that, with a few minor modifications, the World War I infantry division was sound and should be retained. Consisting of two infantry 

brigades with a total of four infantry regiments, a field artillery brigade, and division support units, the AEF 

division possessed a strength of 29,000 men. In size it was essentially equivalent to a corps in a European 

army. Pershing, who favored a 17,000-man triangular division with three infantry regiments temporarily 

set the Superior Board report aside. About 1 year later, he forwarded the report, and his views on the triangular division concept, to the War Department’s Committee on Organization that was then struggling with 

the problem of developing the structure for the postwar division. This board gave way to still another, the 

Lassiter Committee that ultimately prepared the tables of organization for the postwar infantry division. 

This division was not substantially different from the AEF model. Though it reduced the size of the 

division by about 9,000 men, it retained the square structure of two brigades and four infantry regiments, 

rather than the three regiments preferred by Pershing. Beyond that, the division support units were reorganized to include a battalion-size special troops unit that included a tank company, military police company, 

signal company, ordnance company, motorcycle company (attached), and the division headquarters (HQ)

company. The table also added a division air service, but eliminated, temporarily, the 155-mm heavy artillery regiment. Though the new division was to consist of 19,997 officers and enlisted men in wartime, the 

peacetime table of organization called for only about 11,000 troops. The peace tables were designed to 

allow expansion of the existing units rather than having to organize new ones. 

The 1921 division experienced several changes to its structure over the next 15 years. These changes 

included the loss in 1929 of the Division Aviation (known as the Division Air Service until 1928) and its 

subordinate elements; the addition of a 155-mm H medium artillery regiment in 1929, the motorization 

of the field artillery brigade and light field artillery regiments in the 1930s, and the reorganization and 

expansion of the quartermaster train into a quartermaster regiment in 1936. 

Postwar Plans for Infantry Divisions 

The postwar mobilization plans of the War Plans Division (WPD) called for 57 infantry divisions. 

Twelve of those divisions were to be in the Regular Army (R.A.); one each allotted to the nine corps areas 

and one each allotted to each of the three overseas departments. The National Guard (N.G.) was allotted 

18 divisions, 2 in each corps area. The R.A. division and two N.G. divisions in each corps area were to be 

assigned to that corps area’s lower numbered corps. Additionally each corps area was allotted 3 Organized 

Reserve (O.R.) divisions for a total of 27. The three O.R. divisions in each corps area were to be assigned 

to that corps area’s higher numbered corps.

Regular Army 

Organization 

The postwar R.A. divisions located in the continental United States consisted of the 1st through 9th 

Divisions. All had been constituted and organized during World War I though the 9th Division was never 

deployed to France. The three overseas divisions were newly constituted and designated as the Panama 

Canal, Hawaiian, and Philippine Divisions, after their respective departments. These divisions were named 

rather than numbered as they were tied to their geographical location for wartime employment. They were 

not expected to ever deploy outside the geographical area of their departments. The numbering scheme for 

the various division support troops for the named divisions reflected those of the former 10th, 11th, and 12th 

Divisions (Panama Canal, Hawaiian, and Philippine Divisions, respectively) although there were no lineal 

ties to those World War I-era commands. 

By the summer of 1921, it was apparent to the WPD that the annual budget allocated to the Army by 

the country’s parsimonious Congress would not allow the service to maintain nine fully active divisions. 

Thus, in September 1921, the 4th through the 9th Divisions were partially inactivated. These divisions 

were represented in the Active Army by their even numbered brigade, each of which was reinforced by at 

least one field artillery battalion, an observation squadron, and a few other selected division support units. 

Additionally, by the mid-1920s though most of their subordinate units remained active, the headquarters of 

1st and 3d Divisions almost ceased to exist. Only the division commander and a few staff officers remained 

to carry out minimal division administrative functions, and neither division exercised true command functions over their units. Only the 2d Division headquarters remained functional due to its mission of watching 

the Mexican border and the fact that the entire division was concentrated entirely at Fort Sam Houston, TX. 

By 1926, WPD planners and corps area commanders realized that the existing situation would not 

allow for a quick or efficient means to reorganize tactical divisions in the event of an emergency, so a 

number of actions were taken to remedy the problem. First, the Second and Ninth Corps Area commanders 

restored most command functions to the 1st and 3d Divisions and repopulated those division staffs. The 

War Department additionally developed a means by which the six inactive divisions could be more quickly 

brought up to strength in an emergency. The department authorized the assignment of Reserve officers to 

Regular Army Inactive (RAI) organizations. This authorization resulted in the partial organization of virtually all of the six RAI divisions’ inactive units, including the division headquarters, as Reserve units. The 

Fifth Corps Area, responsible for the 5th Division, took this authorization to the greatest extent by organizing the division’s HQ along the lines of an O.R. division and appointed a small Active Duty staff as well. A 

little over a year later, the personnel for the 5th Division’s active staff were reassigned and only Reservists 

remained assigned to the HQ. None of the six RAI divisions were assigned a general officer (the respective 

corps area commanders functioned as such) and with the brief exception of the 5th Division, performed no 

command functions over subordinate units except during command post exercises (CPXs). 

In 1927, the WPD took another step toward developing a more readily available emergency force by 

reassigning all the Army’s active infantry brigades for the 4th through the 9th Divisions to the 4th, 5th, and 

6th Divisions only. By each having two active brigades, it was reasoned, those three divisions could be 

mobilized much more quickly and made ready for active operations. Planners later realized, however, that 

the action would actually make little difference in the mobilization rate of the three divisions and by late 

1933, all brigades were reassigned back to their original divisions. The status of the stateside R.A. divisions 

at that point (i.e., three active divisions and six reinforced brigades) remained more or less constant until 

October 1939 when the Army began to triangularize infantry divisions. 

The overseas divisions, while suffering from many of the problems of their stateside counterparts, had 

the benefit of possessing actual wartime missions for which they had to prepare. Thus, those divisions were 

generally better manned, especially the Hawaiian Division which was the closest thing to a full-strength 

division in the interwar American Army and remained so throughout the period. All three of these divisions 

199 
began to organize in 1921 and by the following year, were anywhere from 70 to 100 percent complete. 

The Hawaiian Division was completed by the spring of 1922. The Philippine Division, a mixed formation 

of R.A. personnel and Philippine Scouts, was short one artillery regiment, an ammunition train, part of its 

engineer and medical regiments, and several of its smaller units in the quartermaster train and special troops. 

The Panama Canal Division was short one infantry regiment and an ambulance company. As was the case 

for the stateside divisions, this level of manning and organization would gradually deteriorate in the 1920s 

and 1930s as smaller budgets forced cuts in the divisions’ structure. By 1931, though the Hawaiian Division 

remained fully organized, the Philippine Division had inactivated an entire infantry brigade. Likewise, the 

Panama Canal Division was short an infantry brigade, its entire field artillery brigade less one battalion, and 

its quartermaster train HQ. The following year, the latter division was inactivated and its subordinate units 

reorganized into two sector commands believed to be more efficient for the defense of the Panama Canal 

Zone. In the fall of 1941, the Hawaiian Division was reorganized into two triangular divisions—the 24th 

and 25th Divisions—as part of the US Army’s overall defense preparations for entry into World War II. The 

Philippine Division, though officially retaining the square structure until its capture on Bataan in 1942, was 

reorganized in the fall of 1941 as a triangular division by the reassignment of the 31st Infantry. Before the 

attack on Pearl Harbor, the division had regained some of its formerly inactivated subordinate units, but was 

never fully reorganized. The Panama Canal Division was never reorganized, but a similar organization, the 

Panama Canal Mobile Force, a division-size force containing almost all of the former division’s subordinate 

units that were still on the active rolls, was organized to replace the division in 1940. 

Training 

Training opportunities for R.A. divisions during the interwar period, while clearly not ideal, were better 

than what many might believe. Commanders and staffs, especially those in the continental United States, 

were extremely imaginative at developing low cost ways to maintain functional proficiency at a time when 

Army budgets were sparse. These commanders looked for ways and opportunities to create situations and 

conditions under which they could train their staffs and subordinate units in the skills needed to operate 

large units in wartime. Army, corps area, division, and brigade maneuvers; CPXs; and command and communications exercises (CCXs) were all used to prepare commanders and staffs for division-level operations. 

The early 1920s were easily the worst period for such training opportunities. The extreme reduction 

in the size of staffs for the 1st and 3d Divisions along with the corresponding lack of money made it useless to attempt anything except very low key CPXs. Only the 2d Division in Texas was maintained at a 

strength that made division-level training events beyond that feasible. Even so, it was not until 1926 when 

the 2d Division began holding a maneuver that would become an almost annual exercise until 1937. The 

division typically held those maneuvers at Camp Bullis northwest of San Antonio, and for a few years near 

Christine, TX. In 1927, the year after the 1st and 3d Division staffs were reorganized, those two divisions 

also began to hold annual division-level training events as well. The 3d Division (minus one brigade) typically held a maneuver at Fort Lewis and the 1st Division held a CCX each year at Camp Dix. The CCX was 

held in lieu of an annual maneuver due to the absence in either the First or Second Corps areas of a training 

area large enough to hold a division-level maneuver. Moreover, the cost of assembling the division from so 

many disparate posts was prohibitive. 

Each of these divisions, at some point in the interwar years, participated in unique division-level training events. The 2d Division participated in the Joint Army–Air Corps Exercise at Camp Bullis in 1928 for 

example. The maneuver consisted of 12,000 soldiers and 108 aircraft and focused on air-ground operations. 

The 3d Division participated in the Army–Navy Landing Exercise No. 3 at San Clemente Island off Long 

Beach, CA, in 1937 to practice and develop amphibious landing operations. The 1st Division (at a much 

reduced strength) likewise participated in the Army–Navy Landing Exercise No. 4 at Culebra Island near 

Puerto Rico the following year. In 1937, the 2d Division was selected to test the feasibility of the triangular 

division concept. That year the division held a series of exercises called the Provisional Infantry Division 

200 
(PID) tests at Camp Bullis. Two years later it conducted the Provisional 2d Division (P2D) tests which were 

the final tests for the triangular division. These two tests resulted in the adoption of the triangular tables of 

organization for stateside infantry divisions in October 1939. Of course, all three of these divisions also 

participated in the various major field army maneuvers that took place in the late 1930s. 

Training RAI divisions posed a different challenge. Typically, the personnel assigned to RAI division 

headquarters were geographically dispersed over the corps area that precluded their assembly for training 

during the year. Officers assigned to those staffs generally attended inactive training periods with other 

units or other types of training. The only time the officers might get a chance to function as a member of 

the staff was on those few occasions when the division HQ was assembled for a CPX, or more rarely, when 

the division HQ was organized provisionally to function with its active brigade in a maneuver. More often 

the division’s staff officers attended training with the staff of a N.G. or R.A. division, or with the staff of a 

reinforced brigade. 

The three overseas divisions were arguably the best trained and equipped divisions in the Army. Each 

had a wartime mission for the defense of its department and was considered to be in the first line of defense 

against any potential threats. Therefore, the War Department provided larger training and operations budgets to the overseas departments to support those divisions. Beginning in the fall of 1923 with the Philippine 

Division, these divisions also participated in annual department maneuvers to exercise, test, and help revise 

existing war plans and unit defensive positions. The exercises almost always included the participation 

of air corps and coast artillery units, as well as US Navy planes and ships. Occasionally, marine units 

would participate as enemy landing forces. Given their real-world nature and joint aspects, these maneuvers 

tended to be some of the best division-level training events in the interwar period. 

National Guard 

Organization 

During 1920 a committee of R.A. and N.G. officers developed a plan for 18 N.G. divisions for the 

postwar army. The plan called for allotting the 26th through 45th Divisions, less two, to the 48 states. There 

were to be two divisions allotted to each corps area. In keeping with the requirements of the 1920 National 

Defense Act, as far as practicable the divisions were to be allotted to the corps areas containing those states 

from which the units were organized in World War I. The 42d Division was not included in the allotment as 

it had been organized from numerous states across the country. The 30th, 31st, and 39th Divisions had been 

originally organized in the Fourth Corps Area, and so all three designations were offered to that corps area. 

The 30th and 39th were initially selected and the 31st became the other division deleted from the original 

list of N.G. divisions. In 1923, the adjutants general of the several states from which the 39th Division was 

drawn petitioned the War Department to change the designation of the 39th to the 31st Division, which was 

the organization with which most of the affected states’ units served in World War I. An allocation board 

approved the request and the subordinate elements assigned to the 39th Division were withdrawn and reassigned to the 31st Division, less the Arkansas elements, effective 1 July 1923. 

By the spring of 1921, most subordinate units had been allotted and efforts to organize the divisions 

were soon underway. Under the rules of organization, the formal organization of division HQ could not be 

effected until at least 75 percent of subordinate units had themselves been federally recognized. Even so, by 

the end of 1924, 13 of the 18 division HQ had been so recognized. After a 2-year suspension of the Federal 

recognition of new units due to the Army’s budget shortfall, reorganization resumed, but the last division 

headquarters to be organized, that of the 35th Division of Kansas and Missouri, would not receive Federal 

recognition until 1935. 

All but three of the postwar N.G. divisions had been active in World War I. The three new divisions, 

the 43d, 44th, and 45th, were newly constituted. In most instances, the Great War era divisions were successfully relocated to the states from whence they were derived in 1917, but the addition of the three 

201 
new divisions caused some shuffling of states within divisions. Units from the states of Connecticut, New 

Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine had been assigned to the 26th Division in the Great War, but that unit was 

now an all-Massachusetts outfit. Instead, units from these four New England states were now assigned to 

the new 43d Division. The 44th Division had been allotted predominately to the state of New Jersey, with 

one brigade allotted to New York and a field artillery regiment allotted to Pennsylvania. In 1917, those 

states’ units had been part of the 29th, 27th, and 28th Divisions, respectively. The final division, the 45th, 

had been allotted to Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. In World War I, Oklahoma units were 

part of the now all-Texas 36th Division. Units from the other three states had belonged to the 40th Division, 

which was now composed of units from California, Utah, and Nevada. 

Organizationally, the N.G. divisions faced the same challenges in the interwar years as did their R.A. 

counterparts. Small budgets and a waning interest in things military meant that units struggled to recruit 

enough men to flesh out even the relatively weak peacetime tables of organization. Authorized about 11,000 

officers and men under those tables, most N.G. divisions hovered between 6,000 and 8,000 men in the 

1920s. All divisions were short some subordinate units. For example, no division organized a division service company. Only eight of the divisions ever organized an ammunition train, and only three of those trains 

lasted for more than a few years before they were demobilized. Other division elements frequently inactive 

were subordinate units of the quartermaster train, medical regiment, and special troops. On the other hand, 

all divisions had organized and federally recognized their infantry regiments, field artillery regiments, and 

engineer regiments by 1930. 

Training 

Given that N.G. units could only assemble for about 38 days a year, and that most divisions and their 

staffs hailed from two or more states, the training challenges for N.G. divisions were even greater than those 

for the R.A. Training the division staffs to function as a team in the interwar years was somewhat easier than 

it was to train its component parts as a functional division. Solutions presented themselves in several ways. 

One way was to assemble the entire division HQ at the summer camp location of one of the constituent 

states. There, under the guidance of the division commander and R.A. instructors, the various officers and 

men from the different states and staff sections could get to know one another, develop standard operating 

procedures, train, and begin to mold themselves into a functional team. Another opportunity to do this was 

at various corps area and field army CPXs. Of course, the best training opportunity to train these divisions 

in their entirety was the large-scale army maneuvers of the late 1930s and early 1940s. 

Training opportunities for the subordinate units of these divisions were primarily limited to inactive 

training periods and annual summer camps. For single state divisions, such as those from Texas, New 

York, and Pennsylvania, assembling the entire division for summer training posed few problems. Multistate 

divisions, however, when attempting to assemble the division for training, encountered coordination 

problems with other states, such as agreement on camp dates and location. Other problems included money 

to move troops and equipment out of state and loss of training time during travel. In spite of these challenges, 

various multistate divisions made attempts to assemble in their entirety at various times in the interwar years. 

One multistate division, the 38th Division from Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia, was lucky. The units 

from Indiana and Kentucky, the bulk of the division, typically trained at Camp Knox, KY, each year. Only 

West Virginia’s 150th Inf. was needed to round out the division. Even so, that regiment assembled with the 

rest of the division only a few times in the 1930s. The first multistate division to completely assemble was 

the 30th Division from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. This division was gathered for the 

first time in 1928 at Camp Jackson, SC, during 8–22 July under a War Department experimental program 

designed to bring multistate N.G. divisions together for joint training. The experiment was a success, but 

due to budget constraints, the program was never fully implemented. Before the advent of the large army 

maneuvers beginning in 1935, most multistate divisions had the opportunity to assemble for at least one 

camp. Few were able to accomplish the feat more than once or twice. 

202 
Organized Reserve 

Organization 

In developing the structure for the postwar Army, the WPD planned for 33 O.R. infantry divisions. 

These consisted of the 76th through 91st and the 94th through 104th Divisions. The 76th through 101st 

Divisions had been completely or partially organized during World War I. The 102d, 103d, and 104th 

Divisions. were completely new organizations. The 76th through 91st Divisions had all served in France. 

The all-black 92d and 93d Divisions had both served in France as well; however, the War Department’s 

postwar policy prohibited the organization of black divisions in peacetime. Therefore, neither unit was 

allotted for reorganization. Mobilization planners did, however, contemplate the reactivation of both divisions, along with the Puerto Rican Division, in the event they were needed for an emergency. The Puerto 

Rican Division had been organized in Puerto Rico during World War I and it was often referred to in early 

postwar mobilization plans and other documents. The original allotment to Puerto Rico was a large infantry 

brigade of three regiments, a field artillery regiment, and various division support units, which could easily 

be expanded to a division if required. However, by 1927, WPD planners had apparently determined that the 

division was not needed and thus it was never reconstituted. 

Each corps area was allotted three O.R. divisions that were to be assigned to the higher numbered 

corps. Like N.G. divisions, the O.R. organizations were to be allotted as far as practicable to the states from 

which the bulk of their men were derived in World War I. Also like the Guard units, the addition of the new 

divisions required some adjustment to the allotments and there was not always a perfect fit. Once the allotment was complete and a local board of officers determined the location of the division HQ as well as the 

division’s subordinate elements, organization of the division began. First, a small R.A. staff was assigned 

to the division HQ. This staff advertised the organization of the division in local papers, radio spots, and 

other means. The staff, which had been provided a list of names and addresses of former and current Officer 

Reserve Corps (ORC) and National Army officers, also began contacting and recruiting these men for the 

new divisions. 

Unlike the R.A. and N.G. divisions, officers for Reserve divisions could be recruited in peacetime to 

full-strength under the wartime tables of organization for an infantry division. However, due to Federal 

legislation passed through the pressures applied from N.G. lobbyists and associations to ensure that the 

O.R. would be no competitor as the second line of defense for the Army, Reserve units could only recruit 

up to 33 percent of their authorized enlisted strength. Since there were no enlistment or pay incentives for 

the Enlisted Reserve Corps (ERC), few men joined. As a result, O.R. divisions generally had less than 100 

enlisted men on the rolls. On the other hand, due to the many World War I-era officers and commissionees 

from Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs and Citizens Military Training Camps (CMTCs), 

most of these divisions were at or near full strength in officer personnel from about 1925 until 1940. 

Initially, and as an additional duty, corps area commanders functioned as the nominal commanding 

generals for all three of the O.R. divisions in their corps area. These duties were generally administrative 

in nature, but even then, the vast majority of general and special orders and other documents were promulgated for the commander by each division’s chief of staff who ran the day-to-day operations of the division. 

In most cases, the chief of staff also functioned as the acting commander for CPXs and other training exercises. By the late 1920s, many corps area commanders frequently delegated the division commander duty 

to more junior generals within the corps area, or in a few instances, to O.R. generals. This practice was not 

common to all corps areas, however. 

Each division’s chief of staff also had a small R.A. staff of officers and enlisted men through which he 

administered and supervised the activities of the division’s subordinate units. Additional R.A. officers were 

assigned as executive officers (later redesignated as unit instructors) to the various regiments and other units 

of the division, along with a few enlisted men. These staffs consisted of the following personnel: 

203 
O.R. Division Staff: 

Chief of Staff colonel 

Adjutant General/G1 lieutenant colonel 

Assistant Chief of Staff, General Staff G3 lieutenant colonel 

Assistant Chief of Staff, General Staff G3 major 

Assistant Chief of Staff, G4 lieutenant colonel 

Senior Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) staff sergeant 

Administrative Sergeant sergeant 

Supply NCO sergeant 

Enlisted clerk corporal 

Enlisted clerk/driver private 

Regiment: 

Executive officer* lieutenant colonel 

Enlisted clerk/driver sergeant 

*Redesignated “unit instructor” in 1926. 

Note: Ranks shown are highest authorized. Actual assigned personnel frequently held ranks lower, and sometimes 

higher, than those shown. 

Unlike their R.A. and N.G. counterparts, the organization of Reserve division HQ and all the division’s 

subordinate units was generally achieved by the end of 1922. Of course, for Reserve divisions all this really 

meant was that the unit was organized by the initial assignment of personnel. Most divisional subordinate 

organizations achieved somewhere near full strength in authorized officers by the mid-1920s and could be 

considered as functional cadre units. 

Organizationally, the Reserve divisions went through the same interwar reorganizations as those in the 

other two components. Other than that, the composition of Reserve division subordinate units was essentially 

constant throughout 1921–41. With the exception of the exchange of infantry regiments in the brigades of 

the 102d Division, there were no other changes to the assignment of the Reserve divisions’ subordinate 

units. Like those of the N.G., Reserve divisions were not reorganized into the triangular configuration until 

after Pearl Harbor. 

Training 

The training difficulties facing the O.R. divisions were significantly much greater than those of the R.A. 

or N.G. due to the lack of enlisted personnel, equipment, and funding. In any given year, for example, the 

War Department had only enough funds to send about 25 percent of the O.R.’s personnel to summer camp. 

Still Reserve divisions made the effort to conduct adequate training for their staffs and subordinate units at 

the camps and during the inactive training period. 

In the early 1920s, Reserve divisions held division-level group camps. Every person in the division, 

regardless of unit, attended as part of the division and not as part of any subordinate element. The training 

at these camps initially tended to be very general in content. Close order drill, rifle marksmanship, first aid, 

etc., were included, with perhaps a few rudimentary blocks of branch instruction. The camps were followed 

by increasingly more sophisticated methods. The July 1923 camp for the 83d, 84th, and 100th Divisions, 

and the 64th Cav. Division of the Fifth Corps Area held at Camp Knox was an example. 

For that camp, the Reserve personnel, almost all officers, were divided into five groups: 

Group 1—Infantry colonels, lieutenant colonels, and majors.
 

Group 2—Captains and lieutenants of infantry and engineers, and all military intelligence, signal 

corps, chemical warfare, and chaplain corps officers. 

Group 3—All quartermaster, ordnance, adjutant general, sanitary, and medical corps officers. 

204 
Group 4—All field artillery officers. 

Group 5—All cavalry officers. 

Each group had a number of R.A. unit instructors who were responsible for preparing, conducting, and 

mentoring the training. The training took place 12–20 July in a field environment and consisted of a series 

of tactical walks (a tactical exercise without troops). The overall scenario was the movement of an infantry 

division into the line with a follow-on attack against an enemy force. At each stage of the first 7 days, various aspects of division operations were taught, explained, and/or otherwise illustrated. In some instances, 

an R.A. unit would actually perform some task as a demonstration on what a given maneuver, tactic, or 

support function looked like. After a demonstration or class was completed, a discussion would ensue as to 

how each type of unit or support function fit into the overall mission or task. Often one of the tactical walks 

was focused on a specific type of operation or support function—the use of the reserve or artillery support 

in the defense, for example. The final 2 days of the camp’s training was a CPX designed to familiarize the 

officers with the functions of a command post and communications in wartime. 

These types of camps lasted until 1924, after which subordinate units were developed enough that they 

could hold unit camps and focus on higher levels of regimental, battalion, or company collective training. 

At that point Reserve division staffs also began to attend camps as a unit. Typically, however, Reserve division staffs were only able to assemble at a summer camp about once every 4 or 5 years. When they did, 

the HQ most often participated in CPXs for training. During those years that the division HQ did not go to 

camp as a unit, individual staff officers were trained in one of several ways for annual training. The most 

preferred assignment was to an R.A. or N.G. division staff during that unit’s own summer training period. 

Other methods included garrison work on a R.A. division staff, a corps area staff, or even the Reserve division’s own staff.

1939–40; Fort Hamilton, NY, 1940–41; Fort Devens, MA, 1941 

The 1st Div. arrived at Hoboken, NJ, in September 1919 after completing 9 months 

of occupation duty near and in Coblenz, Germany. Participated that month in the 

Victory Parades in New York City and Washington, DC. Proceeded to Camp Meade, 

MD, where all emergency period personnel were discharged from the service. 

Proceeded to Camp Zachary Taylor, KY, and took up temporary station there from 

20 October 1919 to 8 October 1920. Dispatched elements of several regiments to 

quell striking coal miners in West Virginia in November 1919 and again to Lexington, 

KY, in February 1920. Transferred on a permanent change of station to Camp Dix, 

NJ, where it arrived on 10 October 1920. The division was allotted to the Second 

Corps Area and assigned to the II Corps in 1921. In August 1921, elements of the 

division were once again dispatched to West Virginia to control striking coal miners. 

In spring 1922, the division’s units were ordered to posts throughout the northeast 

United States with most units arriving at their new duty stations in June and July 

1922. The division HQ was posted to Fort Hamilton, NY, arriving there on 6 June 

1922. The 1st Inf. Brig. and the division special troops were concentrated at posts in the New York City area, while 

the 2d Inf. Brig. was scattered over posts in upstate New York. The 1st F.A. Brig.’s units were spread from Fort Ethan 

Allen, VT, to Fort Hoyle, MD. Training of the division’s maneuver units took place, for the most part, in the late 

summer and early fall after they assisted the training of O.R., CMTC, and ROTC units. The 1st Brig. conducted fall 

training at Camp Dix, where the brigade also trained its affiliate Reserve Component units during the summer. The 2d 

Brig. units usually conducted the training of its Reserve Component units at the brigade’s home posts, and afterwards, 

concentrated for training at Pine Camp, NY, in the fall. The first opportunity after 1922 to gather the division in one 

place came in 1927 when most of the “Red One” was assembled at Camp Dix for various training events during 

August through November. To prepare the staff for the maneuver, the division held a CCX at Camp Dix earlier that 

205 
 

 

 

 

spring. The exercise was apparently very successful as similar CCXs were held periodically thereafter. The next major 

training event for the division came in August 1935 when the First and Second Corps Area elements of the First Army 

were assembled at Pine Camp for small unit maneuvers. This maneuver was followed in turn by the First Army CPX 

held at Fort Devens in August 1937. Shortly afterward, in September 1937, the division, minus the 2d Brig. and some 

field artillery units, was concentrated at Indiantown Gap, PA, for maneuvers. Concurrently, the 2d Brig., reinforced 

by the artillery units from Fort Ethan Allen and Madison Barracks, assembled at Pine Camp for maneuvers. These 

maneuvers were followed by the first of several amphibious operations performed by the division’s units prior to 

World War II. The first landing exercises were held by division elements in Puerto Rico and Culebra Island in January 

and February 1938. The amphibious training was followed by the next First Army Maneuver, held in the Plattsburg, 

NY, area in August 1939. The 1st Div. was reorganized into the “triangular” configuration in October 1939 when the 

28th Inf. was relieved from the troop list and the division’s field artillery regiments were reorganized into battalions. 

In November 1939, the division deployed to Fort Benning, GA, where it was assigned temporarily to the IV Corps to 

train and test the new triangular organization. These exercises were held in preparation for the maneuvers in Louisiana 

in May 1940 when the IV Corps was pitted against the provisional IX Corps. After the exercises in Louisiana, the “Red 

One” returned to New York to participate in the 1940 First Army Maneuver near Canton, NY, in August–September. 

For this maneuver, the 1st Div. was again part of the II Corps. In February 1941, the “Fighting First” was transferred 

to Fort Devens, MA, to concentrate the division for additional training. Concurrently, the division was relieved from 

the II Corps and assigned to the VI Corps. The following August, the division moved to the New River area of North 

Carolina for additional amphibious training. After the training at New River, the 1st Div. participated in the Carolina 

Maneuvers held in November 1941 near Charlotte, NC. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Fort 

Devens, MA. 

Organization Day: 21 October. Chosen to commemorate the division’s baptism of fire in World War I when its 

subordinate infantry regiments entered the line in the Somervillier Sector on 21 October 1917.

2d DIVISION “Indianhead” 

HQ—Fort Sam Houston, TX, 1919–41 

The 2d Div. arrived at Hoboken, NJ, on 3 August 1919 after completing 8 months of occupation duty near Coblenz, Heddesdorf, and Dierdorf, Germany. Moved to Camp Mills, 

NY, where all emergency period personnel were discharged from the service, and the 4th 

Marine Brig. was relieved from assignment to the division. Proceeded to Camp Travis, 

TX, on 16 August 1919 and took up temporary station from August 1919 until it moved 

to permanent quarters on Fort Sam Houston proper in 1923. The 4th Inf. Brig. (consisting 

of the 1st and 20th Inf. Regts.) was assigned to replace the 4th Marine Brig. in the division structure and activated in October 1920 at Camp Travis. The division was allotted to 

the Eighth Corps Area as VIII Corps troops in 1921. During the early post-World War I 

period, the division’s time was spent rebuilding and training on a limited scale. The slow 

pace left time for the division to assist Hollywood in making movies about the Army. 

Division units participated in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s movie “The Big Parade” in May 

and June 1925 and in “Wings” in April 1926. By 1926, however, maneuver training of divisional units was becoming more frequent leaving little time for movies. The maneuvers generally took place in May before the division’s 

units were busy assisting the training of O.R., CMTC, and ROTC units during the summer. Typically, the division 

would deploy to Camp Bullis, TX, or areas west of San Antonio, and perform field training, usually at company- and 

battalion-level. The division deployment would culminate in brigade versus brigade maneuvers near the end of the 

field training period. After transfer of the 4th Brig. to Fort D.A. Russell, WY (later renamed Fort Francis E. Warren), 

in 1927, the 1st Cav. Brig. began to road-march over from Fort Clark to participate in combined arms maneuvers each 

May. Once the division maneuvers were complete, the division shifted to training the Reserve Components. The 3d 

Brig. usually conducted the training of O.R. officers of the 90th Div., and infantry CMTC, and ROTC units. Units 

of the 2d F.A. Brig. trained the artillery officers of the 90th Div., the XVIII Corps, and several General Headquarters 

Reserve (GHQR) artillery units in the Eighth Corps Area. After transferring to Fort Francis E. Warren, the 4th Brig. 

conducted their maneuver training at the Pole Mountain Reservation where they also trained their affiliate Reserve 

Component units of the 104th Div. In 1936, the division participated in the Third Army CPX at Camp Bullis. The CPX 

was conducted to prepare army, corps, and division staffs for future large-scale army maneuvers. The next major training event for the division came in September 1937 when it participated in the Provisional Infantry Division (PID) tests 

at Camp Bullis. The “Indianhead” Division was temporarily reorganized with three regiments to test the concept of the 

“triangular” division. The exercise was apparently very successful as further tests were called for after analysis of the 

results by Army planners. The following year units of the Eighth Corps Area, including the 2d Div., were assembled 

at Camp Bullis for the Third Army Maneuvers. In January 1939, the division was reorganized for the second time as 

a triangular division, this time for the Provisional 2d Division (P2D) tests. These tests finalized the decision to adopt 

the new triangular organization for Regular Army divisions. As a result, in October 1939, the division’s 4th Brig. was 

disbanded, the 1st and 20th Inf. Regts. were relieved from assignment, and the 38th Inf. Regt. was assigned to the 

division to make its transition to the triangular concept complete. In May 1940, the “Indianhead” Division deployed 

to the vicinity of Horton, TX, to train under this new organization in preparation for the next Third Army Maneuver. 

The 1940 Third Army maneuvers were held in west central Louisiana in August 1940 and consisted primarily of the 

R.A. and N.G. divisions from the Fourth and Eighth Corps Areas. After the exercises in Louisiana, the “Indianhead” 

Division returned to Fort Sam Houston. The following June, the division moved to Brownwood, TX, to participate in 

the VIII Corps maneuver held there that month. In August 1941, the division returned to the Louisiana Maneuver Area 

for the GHQ Maneuvers between the Second and Third Armies, after which it returned to its home station. Location 

of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Fort Sam Houston, TX.

3d DIVISION “Marne” 

HQ—Camp Pike, AR, 1919–21; Fort Lewis, WA, 1921–41 

The 3d Div. arrived at Camp Merritt, Hoboken, NJ, between 23 and 28 August 1919, 

after completing 9 months of occupation duty near and in Mayen, Germany. At 

Camp Merritt, all emergency period personnel were discharged from the service. 

The division proceeded to Camp Pike, AR, where the division HQ arrived 31 August 

1919. The division was allotted to the Ninth Corps Area as IX Corps troops in 1921, 

and as a result, the division was transferred on a permanent change of station to Camp 

Lewis, WA, where it arrived in September. The division’s units were ordered to posts 

throughout the western United States and Alaska that fall and the early winter of 

1922. The division HQ remained at Camp Lewis, as did the division’s special troops. 

The 5th Inf. Brig. moved its HQ to Vancouver Barracks, WA, and its subordinate 

208 
 

 

units to posts in Washington, North Dakota, and Alaska. The 6th Inf. Brig. was headquartered at Fort Douglas, UT, 

as was the 38th Inf., while the 30th Inf. was stationed at the Presidio of San Francisco. The 3d F.A. Brig.’s units were 

located at Camp Lewis with the exception of the 76th F.A. Regt., which was split between Fort D.A. Russell, WY, 

and the Presidio of Monterey, CA. The division’s units usually conducted the training of O.R., CMTC, and ROTC 

units at various posts throughout the Ninth Corps Area during the summer months. The officers of the IX Corps, XIX 

Corps, and the 91st, 96th, and 104th Divs., were habitually trained at the O.R. camps. Training of divisional units took 

place for the most part in the late summer and early fall after they assisted the training of the Reserve Components. 

The largest concentration of division units since 1921 occurred in 1927 when all units, except the 6th Inf. Brig., were 

assembled at Camp Lewis for division maneuvers that April. The next major training event for the division came 

in August 1931 when much of the “Marne” Division (not including the 5th Brig. and parts of the 3d F.A. Brig.), 

was assembled at the Gigling Reservation in California to maneuver against the 11th Cav. The first opportunity to 

assemble the entire division came in April 1937 when all elements, except one battalion in Alaska, converged on Fort 

Lewis for division maneuvers. Oddly, 3 months later the division did not participate in the Fourth Army Maneuvers 

as a complete unit, but was split between Fort Lewis, WA, and Camp Ord, CA. The 3d Div. reorganized into the 

“triangular” configuration in October 1939 when the 4th and 38th Inf. Regts. were relieved from the troop list, the 15th 

Inf. assigned, and the field artillery regiments reorganized into battalions. Beginning in December 1939, the division 

participated in numerous training exercises to better prepare it for the impending war. That month, the “Marne” 

Division deployed to California for amphibious operations at Monterey and maneuver training at Camp Ord to test 

the new triangular organization. After the exercises in California, the division returned to Fort Lewis to participate in 

the Fourth Army Maneuvers near Fort Lewis and Centralia, WA, in August 1940. In April 1941, the “Marne” Division 

participated in the IX Corps maneuver at Fort Lewis and operated against the 41st Div. in that exercise. The following 

month, the division moved to Hunter-Liggett Military Reservation, CA, to participate in the Fourth Army Maneuver 

there, which pitted the IX Corps against the III Corps. The 3d Div. returned to Fort Lewis in July and there participated 

in another Fourth Army Maneuver, this time in the vicinity of Fort Lewis-Centralia, WA, in August–September 1941. 

Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Fort Lewis, WA.

HQ—Camp Dodge, IA, 1919–20; Camp Lewis, WA, 1920–21; Inactive, 1921–27; Fort McPherson, GA, 1927–40; 

Fort Benning, GA, 1940–41 

The 4th Div. arrived at Camp Merritt, NJ, on 1 August 1919, after completing 8 

months of occupation duty near and in Bad Bertrich and Nieder-Breisig, Germany. 

Emergency period personnel were discharged from the service at Camp Merritt after 

arrival. The division proceeded to Camp Dodge, Iowa, and arrived 8 August. The 

division took up temporary station at Camp Dodge from August 1919 to January 

1920. It was transferred to Camp Lewis, WA, in January 1920 for permanent station. 

The division was inactivated 21 September 1921, less the 8th Inf. Brig. and several 

other divisional elements, at Camp Lewis. The remaining division personnel and 

equipment were transferred to the 3d Div. Concurrently, the inactivated units were 

assigned to active associate units for mobilization purposes. For mobilization 

responsibility, the division was allotted to the Fourth Corps Area and assigned to 

the IV Corps. Camp McClellan, AL, was designated as the mobilization and training 

station for the division upon reactivation. During the period 1921–39, the 4th Div. was represented by the 8th Inf. Brig. 

and other assorted active elements, which formed the base force from which the division would be reactivated in the 

event of war. The division HQ was organized by June 1927 with O.R. personnel as an RAI unit at Fort McPherson, 

GA. Many of the inactive elements of the division were also organized after mid-1927 as RAI units. The RAI units 

generally trained with the active elements of the division during summer training camps. Several units, such as the 

4th Sig. Co., 4th Engrs., and the 39th Inf. were affiliated with various colleges and universities sponsoring ROTC and 

organized as RAI units with the R.A. cadre there and commissionees from the schools’ programs. The active elements 

of the division also maintained habitual training relationships with many O.R. units of the IV Corps, XIV Corps, 

and the 81st, 82d, and 87th Divs. The training of those O.R. units was usually conducted at Camp McClellan, AL, 

and frequently, at regimental home stations located throughout the Fourth Corps Area. The 8th and 22d Inf. Regts. 

also supported the Reserve units’ conduct of the CMTC held at Camp McClellan and Fort McPherson. The 8th Inf. 

Brig., reinforced by the active elements of the 4th Tank Co., 83d F.A., and 4th Engrs. held annual maneuvers at Fort 

Benning, GA. The division HQ was occasionally formed in a provisional status during summer camps or CPXs to 

train Regular and O.R. officers in division-level command and control procedures. It was provisionally formed on 5 

September 1936 for the Third Army CPX held that month at Camp Bullis, TX. The division HQ was also provisionally 

formed for the August 1938 Third Army Maneuvers in the DeSoto National Forest in Mississippi. For that maneuver, 

the division (8th Brig. as the nucleus) was reinforced by the 17th Ord. Co., a detachment of the 51st Sig. Bn. and the 

210 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Georgia N.G.’s 122d Inf., in addition to the active divisional elements. The 4th Div. was reactivated 1 June 1940 at 

Fort Benning as part of the IV Corps under the new “triangular” tables of organization. The division participated in the 

Third Army Louisiana Maneuvers August–September 1940, in the GHQ Louisiana Maneuvers September–October 

1941, and in the Carolina Maneuvers October–November 1941. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 

was Fort Benning, GA.

The 5th Div. arrived at Hoboken, NJ, on 21 July 1919, after completing 7 months of occupation duty near and in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg. On arrival, emergency period 

personnel were discharged from the service at Camp Merritt. The division proceeded 

to Camp Gordon, GA, arrived there 26 July and remained there until October 1920. 

It was transferred in October 1920 to Camp Jackson, SC, for permanent station. The 

division was inactivated, less the 10th Inf. Brig. and several smaller units, on 4 October 

1921 at Camp Jackson. The 5th Div. was allotted to the Fifth Corps Area for mobilization responsibility and assigned to the V Corps. Camp Knox, KY, was designated as the 

mobilization and training station for the division upon reactivation. During the period 

1921–39, the active elements of the 5th Div. consisted of the 10th Inf. Brig. and other 

assorted divisional elements which formed the base force from which the remainder of 

the division would be reactivated in the event of war. The division HQ was organized on 

5 May 1926 as an RAI unit at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, and functioned essentially the same as an O.R. division. The HQ, Fifth Corps Area subsequently ordered the division to close down operations on 1 September 1927 and all R.A. personnel assigned to the HQ were relieved. Though the command functions 

of the division ceased, Reserve personnel remained assigned to the division HQ for training mobilization and assignment purposes. By 1927, most of the inactive elements of the division were also organized with O.R. personnel as RAI 

units. The RAI units generally trained with the active elements of the division during summer training camps. Several 

units, such as the 5th Med. Regt., 19th and 21st F.A. Regts., and the 60th and 61st Inf. Regts. were affiliated with 

various colleges and universities sponsoring ROTC and organized as RAI units with the R.A. cadre there and commissionees from the schools’ programs. The active elements of the division also maintained habitual training relationships 

with units of the V Corps, XV Corps, and the 83d, 84th, and 100th Divs. The training of those O.R. units was usually 

conducted at Camp Knox and at the regimental home stations of the 10th and 11th Inf. Regts. These two regiments also 

supported the Reserve units’ conduct of the CMTC held at Camp Knox, Fort Benjamin Harrison, and Fort Thomas, 

KY. The 10th Inf. Brig., reinforced by the active elements of the 5th Tank Co., 3d F.A., 19th F.A., and 5th Q.M. Regt. 

held maneuvers, those years when funds were available, at Camp Knox. During these maneuvers, the 5th Div. HQ 

was occasionally formed in a provisional status to train Regular and Reserve officers in division-level command and 

control procedures. The division HQ was also provisionally formed for the August 1936 Second Army Maneuvers 

at Fort Knox. For that maneuver, the division (10th Brig. as the nucleus) was reinforced by the 1st Sig. Co. and the 

West Virginia N.G.’s 201st Inf., in addition to the other active divisional elements. Under the new “triangular” tables 

of organization, the 5th Div. was reactivated on 16 October 1939 at Fort McClellan, AL, relieved from the V Corps, 

and assigned to the Second Army. The division participated in the Second Army Maneuvers in August–September 

1940 near Shamrock, WI. After it returned briefly to Fort McClellan, the Red Diamond Division was permanently 

transferred to Fort Custer, MI, on 13 December 1940. The division participated in the VII Corps Tennessee Maneuvers 

in May–June 1941, in the VII Corps Arkansas Maneuvers in August 1941, and the GHQ Louisiana Maneuvers in 

September–October 1941. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Fort Custer, MI.

The 6th Div. arrived at Camp Mills, NY, on 10 June 1919 after completing 6 months 

of training at Aignay-le-Duc, France, and occupation duty near and in Bad Bertrich, 

Germany. On arrival, emergency period personnel were discharged from the service 

at Camp Mills. The division proceeded to Camp Grant, IL, arrived 17 June, and 

remained there until September 1921. The division was inactivated, less the 12th Inf. 

Brig. and several smaller units, on 30 September 1921 at Camp Grant. Concurrently, 

the inactivated units were assigned active associate units for mobilization purposes. 

The 6th Div. was allotted to the Sixth Corps Area for mobilization responsibility and 

assigned to the VI Corps. Camp Grant was designated as the mobilization and training 

station for the division upon reactivation. During the period 1921–39, the active 

elements of the 6th Div. consisted of the 12th Inf. Brig. and other assorted divisional 

elements that formed the base force from which the remainder of the division would 

be reactivated in the event of war. The division HQ was organized on 17 April 1926 with O.R. personnel as an RAI 

unit at Chicago. Additionally, most of the division’s inactive elements were also organized by mid-1927 as RAI units. 

Most of these units were organized in the Chicago area. The active elements of the division maintained habitual 

training relationships with divisional RAI units, as well as those of the VI Corps, XVI Corps, and the 85th, 86th, and 

101st Divs. The RAI and O.R. units often trained with the active elements of the division during summer training 

camps which were usually conducted at Camp Custer, MI, Fort Sheridan, IL, and at the regimental home stations of 

the 2d and 6th Inf. Regts. These two regiments also supported the Reserve units’ conduct of the CMTC held at Fort 

Sheridan and Jefferson Barracks, MO. The 12th Inf. Brig., reinforced by the active elements of the 6th Tank Co., 6th 

F.A. Brig., 3d F.A., 14th F.A., and 6th Q.M. Regt., held maneuvers, those years when funds were available, at Camp 

Custer. During these maneuvers, the 6th Div. HQ was often formed in a provisional status to train Regular and Reserve

HQ—Camp Funston, KS, 1919–20; Camp George G. Meade, MD, 1920–21; Inactive, 1921–40; Fort Ord, CA, 1940–
 

The 7th Div. arrived at Camp Mills, NY, 20 June 1919, after completing 6 months 

of training at the Colombey-Les Belles Training Area, France. On arrival, emergency 

period personnel were discharged from the service at Camp Mills. The division proceeded to Camp Funston, KS, arrived 29 June, and remained there until July 1920. The 

division was transferred to Camp George G. Meade, MD, in July 1920 for permanent 

station. It was inactivated, less the 14th Inf. Brig. and several smaller units, on 22 

September 1921 at Camp Meade. Concurrently, the inactivated units were assigned 

active associate units for mobilization purposes. The 7th Div. was allotted to the Seventh 

Corps Area for mobilization responsibility and assigned to the VII Corps. Fort Snelling, 

MN, was designated as the mobilization and training station for the division upon reactivation. During the period 1921–39, the 7th Div. was represented by the 14th Inf. Brig. and other assorted active 

elements that formed the base force from which the division would be reactivated in the event of war. Additionally, 

most of the inactive elements were organized by mid-1927 as RAI units with O.R. personnel. The active elements 

of the division maintained habitual training relationships with divisional RAI units, as well as with those of the VII 

Corps, XVII Corps, and the 88th, 89th, and 102d Divs. The RAI and O.R. units often trained with the active elements 

of the division during summer training camps usually conducted at Forts Riley, Crook, Snelling, and Leavenworth. 

The 3d and 17th Inf. Regts. also supported the Reserve units’ conduct of the CMTC held at Fort Leavenworth and

7th Q.M. Regt. held maneuvers, those years when funds were available, at Fort Riley or Camp Ripley, MN. During 

these maneuvers, the 7th Div. was occasionally formed in a provisional status to exercise division-level command 

and control procedures. The division HQ was also provisionally formed on 21 July 1937 for the August 1937 Fourth 

Army Maneuvers at Camp Ripley. For that maneuver, the division (14th Brig. as the nucleus) was reinforced by the 

Minnesota N.G.’s 92d Inf. Brig. in addition to the other active divisional elements. Under the new “triangular” tables 

of organization, the 7th Div. was reactivated 1 July 1940 at Fort Ord, CA, relieved from the VII Corps, and assigned 

to the III Corps. It participated in the Fourth Army Maneuvers in August 1941 at Hunter-Liggett Military Reservation,

8th DIVISION “Pathfinders”

HQ—Camp Lee, VA, 1919; Inactive, 1923–26; Philadelphia, PA, 1926–40; Fort Jackson, SC, 1940–41 

The 8th Div. was demobilized at Camp Lee, VA, on 5 September 1919. The division 

was reconstituted on 24 March 1923, allotted to the Third Corps Area for mobilization 

responsibility, and assigned to the III Corps. Camp George G. Meade, MD, was 

designated as the mobilization and training station for the division upon reactivation. 

The 16th Inf. Brig. and additional active and inactive elements were assigned to 

the division on 30 June 1923. The division’s inactive units were assigned to active 

associate units for mobilization purposes. During the period 1923–39, the 8th Div. 

was represented by the 16th Inf. Brig. and other assorted divisional elements that 

formed the base force from which the remainder of the division would be reactivated 

in the event of war. The division HQ was organized in April 1926 with O.R. personnel 

as an RAI unit at Philadelphia, PA. Additionally, most of the division’s inactive 

elements were also organized by mid-1927 as RAI units. The active elements of the 

division maintained habitual training relationships with divisional RAI units, as well 

as those of the III and XIII Corps and the 79th, 80th, and 99th Divs. For training and 

administration purposes, the division HQ was attached to the HQ, 16th Inf. Brig. in 

August 1929. The RAI and O.R. units often trained with the active elements of the division during summer training 

camps usually conducted at Camp Meade. The 16th Brig.’s 12th and 34th Inf. Regts. additionally supported the 

Reserve units’ conduct of the CMTC also held at Camp Meade. In late July 1932, the 16th Inf. Brig., reinforced by 

the 3d Cav. and the District of Columbia N.G.’s 260th Coast Artillery, was called out to quell potential trouble from 

the so-called “Bonus Army” in Washington, DC. The brigade was directed to clear the capital and Anacostia Flats 

of the veterans and did so in short order with relatively few injuries. When training funds were available, the 16th 

Brig., reinforced by the division’s active elements, which included the 8th Tank Co. and 16th F.A., held maneuvers 

at Camp Meade during which the division HQ was occasionally formed in a provisional status. The division was also 

provisionally organized in 1939 for the First Army Maneuvers at Manassas, VA. For that maneuver, the division (16th 

Brig. as the nucleus) was reinforced by the 66th Inf. (Light Tanks), in addition to the other active divisional elements. 

Under the new “triangular” tables of organization, the 8th Div. was reactivated, less Reserve personnel, on 1 July 1940 

at Fort Jackson, SC, and assigned to the I Corps. The division participated in the Carolina Maneuvers in September– 

November 1941. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Fort Jackson, SC. 

Status: HHC are currently inactive as HHC, 8th Inf. Div. (Mechanized).

26th DIVISION “Yankee Division” Massachusetts National Guard 

HQ—Boston, MA, 1923–41; Camp Edwards, MA, 1941 

The 26th Div. HQ arrived at Boston, MA, aboard the U.S.S. Mount Vernon on 

4 April 1918 after 18 months of overseas service and was demobilized 3 May 

1919 at Camp Devens, MA. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 

1920, the division was allotted to the state of Massachusetts and assigned to the 

I Corps in 1921. The HQ was reorganized and federally recognized 21 March 

1923 at Boston, MA. The physical HQ was initially located at the Massachusetts 

State House in Boston and relocated to the Commonwealth Armory in Boston 

in February 1931. The designated mobilization training center for the “Yankee” 

Division was Camp Devens where much of the division’s training activities 

occurred between the wars. The mobilization training center was changed to 

Camp Jackson, SC, in 1939. The division conducted summer camp most years 

at Camp Devens and the Massachusetts Military Reservation at Falmouth from 

1922 to 1939. Generally, the division staff conducted CPXs and staff training 

concurrent with the annual summer training camps. However, for some years 

the division staff participated in First Corps Area or First Army CPXs such as those in July 1931 and 1934 held at 

Camp Dix, NJ. For the 1935 camp, the division participated in the First Army Maneuvers at Pine Camp. During that 

maneuver, the 26th Div. operated as part of the provisional I Corps. The “Yankee” Division also participated in the First 

Army Maneuvers of 1939 and 1940 held at Plattsburg and Canton, NY, respectively. In both maneuvers, the 26th Div. 

again operated as part of the provisional I Corps against the provisional II Corps. In addition to the summer training, 

most of the division was called up for emergency relief duties in March 1929 when the Connecticut and Merrimac 

Rivers severely flooded those respective valleys. The division was called up again in September 1938 in response to a 

hurricane that came ashore at Buzzards Bay and the concurrent flooding of the Merrimac and Housatonic Rivers. The 

division was relieved from the I Corps on 30 December 1940 and assigned to the VI Corps. It was inducted into active 

Federal Service at home stations on 16 January 1941, but instead of Camp Jackson, it was ordered to move to Camp 

Edwards, MA, where it arrived on 21 January 1941 to conduct mobilization training with selective service men. After 

the division’s initial train-up period, the 26th Div. participated in the Carolina Maneuvers in October–November 1941 

near Oakboro-Monroe, NC. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Camp Edwards, MA. 

Status: HHC currently active at Springfield, MA, as HHC, 26th Brig., 29th Inf. Div. (Light).

27th DIVISION “Empire” New York National Guard 

HQ—Manhattan, NY, 1921–40; Fort McClellan, AL, 1940–41 

The 27th Div. HQ arrived at New York City aboard the U.S.S. Leviathan on 6 March 

1919 after 10 months of overseas service and was demobilized 1 April 1919 at Camp 

Upton, NY. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1920, the division was 

allotted to the state of New York and assigned to the II Corps in 1921. The division 

HQ was reorganized and federally recognized at New York City on 23 December 

1921. The designated mobilization training center for the “Empire” Division was 

Camp Smith, NY, where much of the division’s training activities occurred between 

the wars. The mobilization training center was changed in 1939 to Camp J. Clifford R. 

Foster, FL. The division, less the 52d F.A. Brig., conducted summer camp most years 

at Camp Smith, Peekskill, NY, from 1922 to 1939. The 52d F.A. Brig. conducted its 

training most years at Pine Camp so that its subordinate batteries could conduct livefire training at the ranges located there. Generally, the division staff conducted CPXs and staff training concurrent with 

the camps. However, in 1929, the division staff participated in the Second Corps Area CPX 7–29 July at Camp Dix, 

NJ, and in the First Army CPXs in July 1931 and July 1934 also held at Camp Dix. For the 1935 camp, the division 

participated in the Second Corps Area phase of the First Army Maneuvers at Pine Camp. During that maneuver, the 

27th Div. operated as part of the provisional II Corps against the provisional I Corps. The “Empire” division also 

participated in the First Army Maneuvers in 1939 and 1940 held at Plattsburg and Canton, NY, respectively. In both 

maneuvers, the 27th Div. again operated as part of the provisional II Corps against the provisional I Corps. The 

division was inducted into active Federal Service at home stations on 15 October 1940, relieved from the II Corps, 

and assigned to the VII Corps. Instead of Camp Foster, however, the Empire Division was ordered to move to Fort 

McClellan, AL, where it arrived on 25 October 1940. After the division’s initial train-up period, it participated in the 

Carolina Maneuvers in October–November 1941 as part of the VI Corps near Oakboro-Monroe, NC. Location of the 

division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Fort McClellan, AL.

28th DIVISION “Keystone” Pennsylvania National Guard 

HQ—Philadelphia, PA, 1921–33; Harrisburg, PA, 1933–41; Indiantown Gap, PA, 1941 

The 28th Div. HQ arrived at Philadelphia, PA, aboard the U.S.S. Kroonland on 30 April 

1919 after 12 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 17 May 1919 at Camp 

Dix, NJ. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1920, the division was allotted 

to the state of Pennsylvania and assigned to the III Corps in 1921. The division HQ was 

reorganized and federally recognized on 22 December 1921 at Philadelphia, PA. The 

HQ was relocated on 12 March 1933 to Harrisburg, PA. The designated mobilization 

training center for the “Keystone” Division was Camp Bullis, TX. The division, less the 

53d F.A. Brig., conducted summer camp most years at Mount Gretna, PA, 1922–34, and 

at Indiantown Gap, PA, 1935–39. The 53d F.A. Brig. conducted its training most years 

at Tobyhanna, PA, so that its subordinate batteries could conduct live-fire training at the 

ranges located there. Generally, the division staff conducted CPXs and staff training concurrent with the camps. The 

division staff also participated in the Third Corps Area CPX 6–19 July 1930 at Camp George G. Meade, MD; in the First 

Army CPXs in July of 1931 and 1934 held at Camp Dix; and the army-level CPX at Fort Devens, MA, in August 1936. 

For the 1935 camp, the division participated in the Third Corps Area phase of the First Army Maneuvers at Indiantown 

Gap. During that maneuver, the 28th Div. operated as part of the provisional III Corps. The “Keystone” Division also 

participated in the First Army Maneuvers in 1939 and 1940 held at Plattsburg and Canton, NY, respectively. In both 

maneuvers, the 28th Div. again operated as part of the provisional III Corps. In addition to the summer training, the 

entire division was called up for flood relief duty in March and April 1936 when Pennsylvania rivers overflowed in one 

of the worst floods in state history. The division was relieved from the III Corps on 30 December 1940 and assigned to 

the II Corps. The Keystone Division was inducted into active Federal Service at home stations on 17 February 1941. 

Instead of Camp Bullis, however, it was ordered to move to Indiantown Gap Military Reservation, where it arrived on 

21 February 1941. After the division’s initial train-up period, it participated in the Carolina Maneuvers in October– 

November 1941 as part of the II Corps near Wadesboro, NC. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was in 

transit between Halifax, VA, and Indiantown Gap, PA.

29th DIVISION “Blue and Gray”	 District of Columbia, Virginia, 

and Maryland National Guard 

HQ—Washington, DC, 1923–41; Fort George G. Meade, MD, 1941; A.P. Hill Military Reservation 1941 

The 29th Div. HQ arrived at Newport News, VA, aboard the U.S.S. Powhatan on 20 

May 1919 after 11 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 30 May 1919 at 

Camp Dix, NJ. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1920, the division was 

allotted to the states of Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, and assigned 

to the III Corps in 1921. The division HQ was reorganized and federally recognized 

on 31 July 1923 at Washington, DC. The designated mobilization training center for 

the “Blue and Gray” Division was Fort Eustis, VA. From 1922 to 1936, the division’s 

subordinate units held separate summer camps at locations within their respective 

states: Cascade, MD, for Maryland and District units, Virginia Beach, VA, for Virginia 

units, and Tobyhanna, PA, for the artillery units. The division staff, composed of 

personnel from all four states, came together to conduct joint training most summers 

before World War II. The division staff’s summer training periods were conducted most years at Camp Ritchie, MD, 

Virginia Beach, VA, or Fort George G. Meade, MD. The HQ also participated in several corps area and army-level 

CPXs during the interwar years. However, the first time the majority of the division’s subordinate units had the chance 

to operate together came in June 1935 during that portion of the First Army Maneuver held at Indiantown Gap, PA. 

222 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, the 91st Inf. Brig. and the 121st Engrs. did not attend the maneuver. The poliomyelitis epidemic, which 

had developed in Virginia that summer, prompted the governor of Pennsylvania to refuse the brigade’s entry into 

the state. The next opportunity to train as one unit came in August 1939 when the entire division was assembled at 

Manassas, VA, for the Third Corps Area concentration of the First Army Maneuver. In that maneuver, the “Blue and 

Gray” Division operated as part of the provisional III Corps. For the additional week’s training directed by the War 

Department for all N.G. units that winter, the Virginia elements of the 29th Div. assembled 12–18 November 1939 

at the State Military Reservation in Virginia Beach, VA, while the Maryland and District elements assembled at the 

State Military Reservation at Cascade, MD. The final division training event before induction came in August 1940 

when the 29th Div. participated in the First Army Maneuver near Canton, NY. The division again operated as part of 

the III Corps against the provisional I Corps. The division was relieved from the III Corps on 30 December 1940 and 

assigned to the II Corps. It was inducted into active Federal Service at home stations on 3 February 1941. Instead of 

Fort Eustis, however, it was ordered to move to Fort George G. Meade, MD, where it arrived on 4 and 5 February 

1941. The division was transferred to the A.P. Hill Military Reservation in Virginia on 14 September 1941. After the 

division’s initial train-up period, it participated in the Carolina Maneuvers in October–November 1941 as part of the 

II Corps in the vicinity of Hoffman-Oakboro, NC. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was in transit 

between North Carolina and Fort George G. Meade.

30th DIVISION “Old Hickory”	 Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, 

and South Carolina National Guard 

HQ—Atlanta, GA, 1926–32; Macon, GA, 1932–40; Camp Jackson, SC, 1940–41 

The 30th Div. HQ arrived at Charleston, SC, aboard the U.S.S. Madawaska on 

2 April 1919 after 11 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 7 May 

1919 at Camp Jackson, SC. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1920, 

the division was allotted to the states of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, 

and Tennessee, and assigned to the IV Corps. The division HQ was reorganized 

and federally recognized 24 August 1926 at 121 Capitol Square, Atlanta, GA. The 

division HQ was relocated on 20 September 1932 to Macon, GA. The designated 

mobilization training center for the “Old Hickory” Division was Camp Jackson, 

where much of the division’s training activities occurred between the wars. For 

most years, the division’s subordinate units held separate summer camps at locations within their respective states: 

Camp Jackson for South Carolina and some Georgia units, Camp Glenn for North Carolina units, and Camp Peay 

or Camp John Sevier for the Tennessee units. The division staff, composed of personnel from all four states, came 

together to conduct joint training for several summers before World War II. The division staff usually assembled at 

Camp Jackson most summers, but conducted their training at Tybee Island, GA, for at least one camp. The division 

also participated in several corps area and army-level CPXs. The first opportunity that the division’s units had to 

operate together came in 1928 when the entire “Old Hickory” Division was assembled at Camp Jackson 8–22 July 

under a War Department experimental program designed to bring together multistate N.G. divisions for joint training. 

The experiment was declared a success, but due to budget constraints, the program was never fully implemented. 

The division was assembled again for the 1932 camp, but units were staggered over a 6-week period, so no largescale training was conducted. The next opportunity came in August 1938 when the division was assembled at the 

DeSoto National Forest in Mississippi for the Fourth Corps Area concentration of the Third Army Maneuver. In that 

maneuver, the “Old Hickory” Division operated as part of the provisional IV Corps. The division’s final training event 

before induction came in August 1940 when the 30th Div. participated in the Third Army Maneuver in the Kisatchie 

National Forest near Alexandria, LA. For that maneuver, the division again operated as part of the IV Corps against the 

provisional VIII Corps. The division was inducted into active Federal Service at home stations on 16 September 1940, 

assigned to the IV Corps, and ordered to move to Camp Jackson, where it arrived about 20 September 1940. After the 

division’s initial train-up period, the division participated in the VII Corps Tennessee Maneuvers in May–June 1941, 

and in the Carolina Maneuvers as part of the I Corps near Cheraw-Chesterfield, SC, in November 1941. Location of 

the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Camp Jackson, SC.

31st DIVISION “Dixie Division” Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, 

and Alabama National Guard 

HQ—St. Augustine, FL, 1924–33; Bartow, FL, 1933–40; Birmingham, AL, 1940; Camp Blanding, FL, 1940–41 

The 31st Div. HQ arrived at Camp Merritt, NJ, aboard the U.S.S. Manchuria on 20 

December 1918 after 2 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 14 January 

1919 at Camp Gordon, GA. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1920, the 

division was allotted to the states of Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, 

and assigned to the IV Corps on 1 July 1923. The division HQ was reorganized and 

federally recognized on 15 October 1924 at St. Augustine, Florida. The HQ was 

relocated on 4 March 1933 to Bartow, FL, and on 10 November 1940 to Birmingham, 

AL. The designated mobilization training center for the “Dixie” Division was Camp 

McClellan, AL, where much of the division’s training activities occurred between the 

wars. For most years, the division’s subordinate units held separate summer camps at 

locations within their respective states: Camp J. Clifford R. Foster for Florida units, 

Camp Shelby for Mississippi units, Camp Beauregard for Louisiana and occasionally Mississippi units, and Camp 

McClellan for the Alabama units. The division staff, composed of personnel from all four states, came together to 

conduct joint training for most summers before World War II. The staff conducted their training at numerous locations 

over the period to include Camp McClellan in 1924–26 and 1929–31, Camp Beauregard in 1927, Camp Foster in 

1928, and Fort Oglethorpe, GA. The staff also participated in several corps area and army-level CPXs to include the 

large Third Army CPX in San Antonio in September 1936. The division (minus the 124th Inf.) was assembled for 

the first time Since World War I at Camp McClellan in August 1924. During that camp, training was conducted at 

the squad- and platoon-level due to the relative inexperience of the units’ soldiers. From roughly 23 April to 12 June 

1927, all Louisiana and Mississippi elements were called up to perform emergency relief duties in connection with 

the massive flooding of the Mississippi River that spring. Virtually all Florida elements were called up several times 

for relief duties associated with hurricanes that hit Florida in September 1926, September 1928, and September 1935. 

Additionally, Florida elements participated in the Mediterranean Fruit Fly quarantine from July 1928 to June 1930. The 

next opportunity to bring the 31st Div. together came in August 1938 when it was assembled at the DeSoto National 

Forest in Mississippi for the Fourth Corps Area concentration of the Third Army Maneuver. In that maneuver, the 

“Dixie” division operated as part of the provisional IV Corps. The division staff was assembled at Jackson Barracks 

225 
 

 

 

 

in New Orleans 17–23 December 1939 for the additional winter training directed by the War Department for all N.G. 

units. The winter training was used as an opportunity to prepare for what was to be the final division training event 

before induction. That event came in August 1940 when the 31st Div. participated in the Third Army Maneuver in the 

Kisatchie National Forest near Alexandria, LA. The division again operated as part of the IV Corps, this time against 

the provisional VIII Corps. Shortly after the exercise, the division was inducted into active Federal Service at home 

stations on 25 November 1940 and assigned to the IV Corps. Instead of Fort McClellan, however, it was ordered 

to move to Camp Blanding, FL, where it arrived 22 December 1940. After the division’s initial train-up period, it 

participated in the IV Corps Louisiana Maneuvers in August 1941, in the GHQ Maneuvers as part of the IV Corps 

near Good Hope Church, LA, in September–October 1941, and in the First Army Carolina Maneuvers as part of the 

IV Corps near Ruby-Chesterfield, SC, in October–November 1941. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 

was Camp Blanding, FL.

32d DIVISION “Red Arrow” Michigan and Wisconsin National Guard 

HQ—Sparta, WI, 1924–26; Lansing, MI, 1926–40; Camp Beauregard, LA, 1940–41; Camp Livingston, LA, 1941 

The 32d Div. HQ arrived at Hoboken, NJ, aboard the U.S.S. George Washington on 5 

May 1919 after 16 months of overseas service and was demobilized 23 May 1919 at 

Camp Custer, MI. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1920, the division was 

allotted to the states of Wisconsin and Michigan and assigned to the VI Corps in 1921. 

The division HQ was reorganized and federally recognized on 24 July 1924 at Sparta, WI. 

The HQ was relocated on 21 June 1926 to Lansing, MI, after Maj. Gen. Guy Wilson took 

command. The designated mobilization training center for the “Red Arrow” Division was 

Camp Custer, MI. For most years, the division’s subordinate units held separate summer 

camps at locations within their respective states: Camp Grayling for Michigan units, and 

Camp McCoy, Camp Williams, or Camp Douglas for the Wisconsin units. For at least 1 

year, in 1937, the division’s subordinate units trained over 100 company-grade officers 

of the 101st Div. at Camp Williams. The division staff, composed of personnel from 

both states, came together to conduct joint training at Camp Grayling for many summers 

before World War II. The Wisconsin elements of the staff conducted their training at 

Camp Douglas those years when they did not go to Camp Grayling for joint training. 

The staff also participated in the Sixth Corps Area CPXs in 1931, 1932, and 1936, and 

the large Second Army CPXs in Chicago in 1933 and at Fort Knox in September 1938. 

The entire division was assembled for the first time at Camp Custer in August 1936 for 

the Second Army Maneuver. The division was pitted against the 33d Div. in a force-onforce exercise near Allegan. The next opportunity for the “Red Arrow” Division to work 

together came in August 1940 when the division participated in the Second Army Maneuvers held at Camp McCoy. In 

that maneuver, the division operated as part of the provisional VI Corps. The division was inducted into active Federal 

Service at home stations on 15 October 1940 and assigned to the V Corps. Instead of Camp Custer, however, the “Red 

Arrow” Division was ordered to move to Camp Beauregard, LA, where it arrived on 21 October 1940. It was further 

transferred to Camp Livingston, LA, on 15 February 1941. After the division’s initial train-up period, it participated 

in the V Corps Louisiana Maneuvers in June 1941 and in the GHQ Maneuvers as part of the V Corps near BoyceOakdale, LA, August–September 1941. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Camp Livingston, LA.

17 May 1919 after 12 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 6 June 

1919 at Camp Grant, IL. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1920, the

division HQ was reorganized and federally recognized on 13 December 1923 at 115 

East Ontario Street, Chicago, IL. The designated mobilization training center for the 

“Prairie Division” was initially Camp Grant, where much of the division’s training 

activities occurred between the wars. The mobilization training center for the division 

was changed to Fort Huachuca, AZ, in the 1939 PMP. The division, less the 58th F.A. 

Brig., conducted summer camp most years at Camp Grant from 1922 to 1939. The 

58th F.A. Brig. conducted most of its camps in the 1920s at Camp McCoy, WI, and 

Camp Knox, KY, so that its subordinate battalions could conduct live-fire training 

at the ranges located there. For at least 1 year, in 1937, the division’s subordinate units trained over 170 companygrade officers of the 86th Div. at Camp Grant and Camp McCoy. The division staff usually conducted CPXs and staff 

training concurrent with the subordinate unit camps. However, in May 1932 the staff participated in the Sixth Corps 

Area CPX held at Camp Custer and in the corps area CPX held in Chicago in May 1936. Additionally, the division 

staff participated in the Second Army CPX in August 1938 held at Fort Knox. The division’s staff was generally 

acknowledged as one of the best in the N.G. and performed well in these CPXs. Much of the staff’s efficiency was 

attributed to Col. George C. Marshall, who was the senior R.A. instructor for the division 1933–36. For the 1936 camp, 

the division participated in the Sixth Corps Area phase of the Second Army Maneuvers at Camp Custer, MI. During 

that maneuver, the 33d Div. operated against the 32d Div. in a force on force exercise. The “Prairie Division” also 

participated in the Second Army Maneuvers in 1940 held at McCoy, WI. The division was relieved from the VI Corps 

on 30 December 1940 and assigned to the VII Corps. The Prairie Division was inducted into active Federal Service 

at home stations on 5 March 1941. Instead of Fort Huachuca, however, the 33d Div. was ordered to move to Camp 

Forrest, TN, where it arrived on 12 March 1941. After the division’s initial train-up period, it participated in the VII 

Corps Maneuver in August 1941 near Arkadelphia, AR, and in the GHQ Maneuvers in August–September 1941 near 

Clarence-Many, LA. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Camp Forrest, TN. 

Status: HHC are currently active at Chicago, IL, as HHC, 33d Area Support Group.

34th DIVISION “Red Bull” Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and 

North Dakota National Guard 

HQ—Council Bluffs, IA, 1924–40; Camp Ripley, MN, 1940–41; Camp Claiborne, LA, 1941 

The 34th Div. HQ arrived at Hoboken, NJ, aboard the U.S.S. General G. W. Goethals 

on 24 January 1919 after 4 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 18 

February 1919 at Camp Grant, IL. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 

1920, the division was allotted to the states of Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and 

North Dakota, and assigned to the VII Corps in 1921. The division HQ was reorganized 

and federally recognized on 14 July 1924 at Council Bluffs, IA. The division HQ was 

relocated on 14 July 1940 to Camp Ripley, MN. The designated mobilization training 

center for the “Red Bull” Division was Camp Dodge, IA, 1921–30, and Camp Ripley, 

1931–40. From 1922 to 1936, the division’s subordinate units held separate summer 

camps at locations within their respective states: Camp Dodge for Iowa units, Lake 

City and Camp Ripley for Minnesota units, Camp Grafton for North Dakota units, 

and Rapid City for South Dakota units. For at least 1 year, in 1938, the division’s 

subordinate units also trained over 80 company-grade officers of the 88th Div. at their various training camps in the 

division’s home area. The division staff, composed of personnel form all four states, came together to conduct joint 

training for several summers before World War II. The staff generally alternated years between Camp Dodge and Fort 

Snelling, and participated in several corps area and army-level CPXs. The first opportunity for the entire division to 

operate together came in August 1937 during that portion of the Fourth Army Maneuver held at Camp Ripley. The 

next opportunity came in August 1940 when the division again assembled at Camp Ripley for the Seventh Corps Area 

concentration of the Fourth Army Maneuver. In that maneuver, the “Red Bull” Division operated as part of the Red 

Army against the 35th Div. and the Blue Army. The division was relieved from the VII Corps on 30 December 1940 

and assigned to the V Corps. The Red Bull Division was inducted into active Federal Service at home stations on 

229
 

 

 

 

 

10 February 1941. Instead of Camp Ripley, however, it was ordered to move to Camp Claiborne, LA, where it arrived 

on 20 February 1941. After the division’s initial train-up period, it participated in the V Corps Maneuver in June 1941 

in Louisiana. The division also participated in the GHQ Maneuvers in August–September 1941 near Alexandria and 

Bon Ami, LA. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Camp Claiborne, LA.

35th DIVISION “Santa Fe” Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska 

National Guard 

HQ—Kansas City, MO, 1935–40; Camp Joseph T. Robinson, AR, 1940–41; Fort Ord, CA, 1941 

The 35th Div. HQ arrived at Newport News, VA, aboard the U.S.S. DeKalb on 20 

April 1919 after 12 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 26 May 1919 

at Camp Funston, KS. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1920, the 

division was allotted to the states of Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska, and assigned 

to the VII Corps in 1921. The designated mobilization training center for the “Santa 

Fe” Division was Camp Clark, MO. Due to funding shortages and disagreement 

between the states comprising the division, the HQ was not reorganized and federally 

recognized at Kansas City, MO, until 13 September 1935. As a result, before 1933 

officers of the division staff generally conducted their summer training with units of 

230 
 

 

 

 

their respective states. However, beginning the summer of 1933, the division staff assembled at Fort Riley, KS, for 

consolidated staff training and did so for the next 2 years. In the fall of 1935, the staff participated in the Fourth Army 

CPX at Fort Lewis, WA, and went to camp at Ashland, NE, the following summer. The division staff trained at Camp 

Clark, MO, in 1938. That same year, the division’s subordinate units trained over 180 company-grade Reserve officers 

of the 89th and 102d Divs. at various training camps in the division’s home area. The division’s subordinate units 

generally held separate summer camps at locations within their respective states: Camp Clark for Missouri units, Fort 

Riley for Kansas units, and Ashland for Nebraska units. The first opportunity since World War I for the entire division 

to operate together came in August 1937 during that portion of the Fourth Army Maneuver held at Fort Riley. The next 

opportunity came in August 1940 when the division was assembled at Camp Ripley, MN, for the Seventh Corps Area 

concentration of the Fourth Army Maneuver. The division was inducted into active Federal Service at home stations 

on 23 December 1940 and assigned to the VII Corps. Instead of Camp Clark, however, the division was ordered to 

move to Camp Joseph T. Robinson, AR, where it arrived on 29 December 1940. After the division’s initial train-up 

period, it participated in the VII Corps Maneuver in August 1941 near Arkadelphia, AR, and in the GHQ Maneuvers 

in August–September 1941 near Clarence and Nachitoches, LA. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 

was Fort Ord, CA. 

Status: HHC are currently active at Fort Leavenworth, KS, as HHC, 35th Inf. Div. (Mecz).

36th DIVISION “Texas Division” Texas National Guard 

HQ—Houston, TX, 1923–30; Fort Worth, TX, 1930–36; San Antonio, TX, 1936–40; Camp Bowie, TX, 1940–41 

The 36th Div. HQ arrived at the port of New York aboard the U.S.S. Patricia on 

4 June 1919 after 11 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 18 June 

1919 at Camp Bowie, TX. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1920, the 

division was allotted to the state of Texas and assigned to the VIII Corps in 1921. The 

designated mobilization training center for the “Texas Division” was Camp Hulen, 

TX, where much of the division’s training activities occurred between the wars. The 

division HQ was reorganized and federally recognized on 2 May 1923 at Houston, TX. 

The division HQ was relocated on 20 September 1930 to Fort Worth, TX, and on 22 

September 1936 to San Antonio, TX. The division conducted its summer camp, less the 

61st F.A. Brig., at Camp Mabry in Austin from 1922–23, Fort Crockett, TX, in 1924, 

back to Camp Mabry in 1925, and at Camp Hulen on Matagorda Bay near Palacios, 

TX, from 1926 to 1939. The 61st F.A. Brig. conducted its training every other year at 

Camp Bullis, TX, so that its subordinate batteries could conduct live-fire training at 

the ranges located there. For at least 3 years, in 1931, 1932, and 1933, the division’s subordinate units trained over 

170 company-grade officers of the 90th Div. at Camp Hulen and Camp Bullis. Like the 26th Div., the 36th Div. was 

one of the few divisions that was located all in one state and therefore could maximize the opportunity to train as 

one unit. From 1922 to 1935, the 36th Div. gradually increased the levels of training proficiency as its units became 

more skilled. The training was conducted at individual-level initially and up to regimental-level for the later camps. 

In 1936, the division and brigade staffs participated in the Third Army CPX at Camp Bullis. The CPX was designed 

to prepare the staffs for the large-scale maneuvers to be held in 1938. The division participated in the Eighth Corps 

Area concentration of the Third Army Maneuvers at Camp Bullis in August 1938. During that maneuver, the 36th 

Div. operated as part of the provisional Blue Corps against the 2d and 45th Divs. of the Brown Corps. In January 

1940, the 36th Div. commanding general and his staff participated in the 2d Div.’s maneuver near Christine, TX. For 

the final phase of the exercise, the division commander and staff assumed control of the simulated combat actions of 

the 2d Div. In August 1940, the “Texas Division” again participated in the Third Army Maneuvers, this time near the 

Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana as part of the provisional VIII Corps. The division was inducted into active 

Federal Service at home stations on 24 November 1940 and assigned to the VIII Corps. Instead of Camp Hulen, 

however, it was ordered to move to Camp Bowie, near Brownwood, TX, where it arrived on 14 December 1940. After 

the division’s initial train-up period, it participated in the VIII Corps Maneuver 1–18 June 1941 near Brownwood and 

in the GHQ Maneuvers in August–September 1941 near DeRidder and Peason, LA. Location of the division HQ on 7 

December 1941 was Camp Bowie, TX.

37th DIVISION “Buckeye” Ohio National Guard 

HQ—Columbus, OH, 1923–40; Camp Shelby, MS, 1940–41 

The 37th Div. HQ arrived at Newport News, VA, aboard the S.S. Noordham on 

23 March 1919 after 10 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 23 June 

1919 at Camp Sherman, OH. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1920, the 

division was allotted to the state of Ohio and assigned to the V Corps. The division HQ 

was reorganized and federally recognized at Columbus, Ohio, on 31 May 1923. The 

designated mobilization training center for the “Buckeye Division” was Camp Perry, 

OH, where much of the division’s training activities occurred between the World Wars. 

The division, less the 62d F.A. Brig., conducted summer camp most years at Camp 

Perry from 1922 to 1939. The division’s infantry regiments provided basic branch 

indoctrination training during many of these camps to the newly commissioned infantry 

lieutenants of the 60th and 61st Inf. Regts. (RAI) in the 1930s. The units of the 62d F.A. Brig. conducted summer camp 

most years at Camp Knox, KY, so that its subordinate batteries could conduct live-fire training at the ranges located 

there. The division staff generally assembled at Camp Perry for training, but also participated in the Fifth Corps Area 

CPX in May 1929 and in the Second Army CPX in September 1938 at Fort Knox. For the 1936 camp, the division 

participated in the Fifth Corps Area phase of the Second Army Maneuvers at Fort Knox. During that maneuver, the 

37th Div. operated as part of the provisional V Corps. In 1940, the “Buckeye” Division again participated in the Second 

Army Maneuvers, this time near Camp McCoy, WI. In addition to summer training, the entire division was called up 

for emergency relief duty in January and February 1937 when the Ohio River overflowed in one of the worst floods in 

its history. The division was inducted into active Federal Service at home stations on 15 October 1940 and assigned 

to the V Corps. Instead of Camp Perry, however, it was ordered to move to Camp Shelby, MS, where it arrived on 20 

October 1940. After the division’s initial train-up period, it participated in the V Corps Maneuver 16–27 June 1941 

near Camp Beauregard, LA, and in the GHQ Maneuvers in August–September 1941 near Boyce-Nachitoches, LA. 

Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Camp Shelby, MS. 

Status: HHC are currently active at North Canton, OH, as HHC, 37th Armd. Brig.

38th DIVISION “Cyclone Division” Indiana, Kentucky, and 

West Virginia National Guard 

HQ—Indianapolis, IN, 1923–41; Camp Shelby, MS, 1941 

The 38th Div. HQ arrived at Newport News, VA, aboard the U.S.S. Martha Washington 

on 19 December 1918 after 4 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 8 

January 1919 at Camp Zachary Taylor, KY. In accordance with the National Defense 

Act of 1920, the division was allotted to the states of Indiana, Kentucky, and West 

Virginia on 7 December 1920 and assigned to the V Corps in 1921. The division HQ 

was reorganized and federally recognized on 16 March 1923 at Indianapolis, IN. The 

designated mobilization training center for the “Cyclone Division” was Camp Knox, 

KY, where much of the division’s training activities occurred between the wars. The 

38th Div. was fortunate in that it was one of the few multistate divisions that had the 

opportunity to train together each summer prior to World War II, and the entire division 

(except West Virginia’s 150th Inf.) conducted its summer camp most years at Camp 

Knox from 1923 to 1939. For the 1936 camp, the division participated in the Fifth Corps Area phase of the Second 

Army Maneuvers at Fort Knox. During that maneuver, the 38th Div. operated as part of the provisional V Corps 

against the 10th Inf. Brig. Additionally, the division staff participated in the Fifth Corps Area CPX in May 1929 and 

in the Second Army CPX in September 1938 at Fort Knox. In 1940, the entire “Cyclone” Division again participated 

in the Second Army Maneuvers, this time near Camp McCoy, WI. In addition to summer training, the entire division, 

less the West Virginia elements, was called up for flood relief duty in January and February 1937 when the Ohio River 

overflowed in one of the worst floods in its history. The “Cyclone” Division was inducted into active Federal Service 

at home stations on 17 January 1941 and assigned to the V Corps. Instead of Fort Knox, however, it was ordered 

to move to Camp Shelby, MS, where it arrived on 26 January 1941. After the division’s initial train-up period, it 

participated in the V Corps Maneuver 16–27 June 1941 near Camp Beauregard, LA, and in the GHQ Maneuvers in 

August–September 1941 near Cooper, LA. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Camp Shelby, MS.

The 39th Div. HQ arrived at Newport News, VA, aboard the U.S.S. Princess Matoika 

on 31 December 1918 after 4 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 23 

January 1919 at Camp Beauregard, LA. In accordance with the National Defense Act 

of 1920, the division was allotted to the states of Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, 

Florida, and Arkansas, and assigned to the IV Corps in 1921. The division’s designated 

mobilization training station was Camp McClellan, AL. The division HQ was not 

reorganized before the adjutants general of the several states from which the division 

was drawn petitioned the War Department to change the designation of the division 

to be formed as the 31st Div. as that was the organization in which most of the states’ 

units served in World War I. The request was approved and the subordinate elements 

assigned to the 39th Div. were withdrawn and assigned to the 31st Div., less the 

Arkansas elements, effective 1 July 1923.

Nevada National Guard 

HQ—Berkeley, CA, 1926–37; Los Angeles, CA, 1937–41; Camp San Luis Obispo, CA, 1941 

The 40th Div. HQ arrived at the port of New York aboard the U.S.S. Artemas on 

13 March 1919 after 6 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 20 April 

1919 at Camp Kearny, CA. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1920, 

the division was allotted to the states of California, Utah, and Nevada, and assigned 

to the IX Corps. The division HQ was reorganized and federally recognized on 18 

June 1926 at Berkeley, CA. The division HQ was relocated on 1 October 1937 to 

Los Angeles, CA. The designated mobilization training center for the “Sunburst” 

Division was Camp San Luis Obispo, where much of the division’s training activities 

occurred between the wars. The units of the 40th Div. were called up by the governor 

for various state emergencies and duties. The largest of these was a virtually statewide strike in May and June 1934 by Longshoremen and other labor unions. Most 

of the division was called up to perform strike duty and crowd control. The division 

staff, composed of personnel from all three states, came together to conduct joint training for several summers before 

World War II. The staff conducted their training at numerous locations over the period to include the Presidio of 

San Francisco, Camp San Luis Obispo, and at the Presidio of Monterey, CA. The division conducted summer camp 

every year at San Luis Obispo, CA, 1923 to 1939, minus the Utah elements, which held their training at Camp W.G. 

Williams, UT. Additionally, the division staff participated in the Fourth Army CPXs held at Fort Lewis, WA, in 1935 

and 1936, and at the Presidio of San Francisco in 1939. For the 1937 camp, the division participated in the Ninth Corps 

Area phase of the Fourth Army Maneuvers at San Luis Obispo held 2–12 August. During that maneuver, the 40th Div. 

operated against the 6th Inf. Brig. of the R.A.’s 3d Div. In April 1940, the 40th Div. commanding general and his staff 

participated in the 3d Div.’s maneuver in the vicinity of Fort Ord, CA. For the final phase of the exercise, the division 

commander and staff assumed control of the simulated combat actions of the 3d Div. In August 1940, the “Sunburst” 

236
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Division again participated in the Fourth Army Maneuvers, this time at Fort Lewis as part of the provisional IX Corps. 

The division was relieved from the IX Corps on 30 December 1940 and assigned to the III Corps. The 40th Div. 

was inducted into active Federal Service at home stations on 3 March 1941, and ordered to move to Camp San Luis 

Obispo, where it arrived on 10 March 1941. After the division’s initial train-up period, the 40th Div. participated in 

the Fourth Army Maneuver in August 1941 near Fort Lewis. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was 

Camp San Luis Obispo, CA.

Murray, WA. The division staff, composed of personnel from all five states, came together to conduct joint training 

for several summers before World War II, usually at Fort Lewis or Camp Murray. However, for the 1938 camp, the 

staff assembled for training at Fort William Henry Harrison in Helena, MT. The division staff also participated in the 

Fourth Army CPXs at Fort Lewis in 1935 and 1936, and at the Presidio of San Francisco in 1939. From 1922 to 1939, 

the division’s subordinate units generally held separate summer camps at locations within their respective states: 

Oregon units at the state military reservation at Clatsop; Washington units at Camp Murray, Montana units at Fort 

William Henry Harrison, and Idaho units at Boise Barracks. For the 1937 camp, the division participated in the Ninth 

Corps Area phase of the Fourth Army Maneuvers at Centralia-Fort Lewis held in August. During that maneuver, the 

41st Div. operated against the 5th Inf. Brig. of the R.A.’s 3d Div. In 1940, the “Sunset” Division again participated in 

the Fourth Army Maneuvers, at Fort Lewis, this time as part of the provisional IX Corps. The 41st Div. was inducted 

into active Federal Service at home stations on 16 September 1940, assigned to the IX Corps, and ordered to move 

to Camp Murray, where it arrived on 20 September 1940. It was transferred to Fort Lewis on 20 March 1941. After 

the division’s initial train-up period, the 41st Div. participated in the Fourth Army Maneuver in June–July 1941

43d DIVISION “Winged Victory” Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island 

and Vermont National Guard 

HQ—South Manchester, CT, 1925; Hartford, CT, 1925–31; New London, CT, 1931–41; Camp Blanding, FL, 1941 

The 43d Div. was constituted in the N.G. on 19 October 1920, allotted to the states 

of Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, and Vermont, and assigned to the I Corps. 

The division HQ was organized and federally recognized at South Manchester, 

CT, on 21 March 1925. The HQ was relocated on 7 April 1925 to Hartford, CT, 

and finally on 3 June 1931 to New London, CT. The division staff, composed of 

personnel from all four states, came together each summer to conduct joint training 

usually at Niantic, CT. The staff participated in the First Army CPXs at Camp Dix, 

NJ, in 1931 and 1934, and at Fort Devens in 1936 and 1937. From 1922 to 1939, 

the division’s subordinate units generally held separate summer camps at locations 

within their respective states: Connecticut units at the state military reservation at 

Niantic; Rhode Island units at Quonsett Point; Maine units at Camp Keyes; and 

Vermont units at Fort Ethan Allen. The division was assembled in one place for 

the first time at Fort Devens in June 1930. During that camp, training was conducted at the squad- and platoon-level 

due to the relative inexperience of the units’ soldiers. The next opportunity for the 43d Div. to function as a complete 

unit came in August 1935 when it participated in the First and Second Corps Area phase of the First Army Maneuvers 

at Pine Camp, NY. In 1939, the “Winged Victory” Division again participated in the First Army Maneuvers, this time 

at Plattsburg, NY, as part of the provisional I Corps. The 43d Div.’s last major training event before induction was the 

First Army Maneuver near Canton, NY, in August 1940. The division was relieved from the I Corps on 30 December 

1940 and assigned to the IV Corps. It was inducted into active Federal Service at home stations on 24 February 1941 

and ordered to move to Camp Blanding, FL, where it arrived on 13 March 1941. After the division’s initial trainup period, the 43d Div. participated in the IV Corps Louisiana Maneuvers in August 1941; in the GHQ Maneuvers 

near Bellwood, LA, in September 1941; and in the First Army Carolina Maneuvers near Peachland-Camden, SC, in 

October–November 1941. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Camp Blanding, FL.

The 44th Div. was constituted in the N.G. on 19 October 1920; allotted to the states 

of New Jersey, Delaware, and New York; and assigned to the II Corps in 1921. The 

division HQ was organized and federally recognized on 26 March 1924 at Trenton, 

NJ. The HQ was relocated on 21 February 1925 to Newark, NJ, and back to Trenton 

on 5 October 1936. The designated mobilization training center for the 44th Div. was 

Camp Dix, NJ. The division staff, composed of personnel from all three states, came 

together each summer to conduct joint training at Sea Girt, NJ, where the New Jersey 

elements conducted summer camp every year. The New York units held their training 

at Camp Smith at Peekskill, NY. The division staff participated in the First Army CPXs 

at Camp Dix in 1931 and 1934 and at Fort Devens in 1936 and 1937. The division was 

assembled for the first time in August 1935 when it participated in the First and Second 

Corps Area phase of the First Army Maneuvers at Pine Camp, NY. In 1939, the division again participated in the First 

Army Maneuvers, this time at Plattsburg, NY, as part of the provisional II Corps. The 44th Div.’s last major training 

event before induction was the First Army Maneuver involving the provisional I, II, and III Corps near Canton, NY, in 

August 1940. The division was inducted into active Federal Service at home stations on 16 September 1940, assigned 

to the II Corps, and ordered to move to Fort Dix, where it arrived on 23 September 1940. After the division’s initial 

train-up period, the 44th Div. participated in the First Army Carolina Maneuvers near Wadesboro, NC, in October–

45th DIVISION Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, 

and Colorado National Guard 

HQ—Oklahoma City, OK, 1923–40; Phoenix, AZ, 1933–35; Oklahoma City, OK, 1935–40; Fort Sill, OK, 1940–41; 

Camp Barkeley, TX, 1941 

The 45th Div. was constituted in the N.G. on 18 October 1920; allotted to the states 

of Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado; and assigned to the VIII Corps 

in 1921. The division HQ was organized and federally recognized on 3 August 1923 

at Oklahoma City, OK. The division HQ was relocated on 15 September 1933 to 

Phoenix, AZ, and back to Oklahoma City on 25 November 1935. The designated 

mobilization training center for the 45th Div. was Fort Sill, OK. From 1922 to 1936, 

the division’s subordinate units generally held separate summer camps at locations 

within their respective states: Fort Sill for Oklahoma units; Fort Tuthill, near Flagstaff 

for Arizona units; Camp Maximilliano Luna for New Mexico units; and Golden State 

Military Reservation for Colorado units. For at least 3 years, in 1927, 1932, and 1933, 

the division’s subordinate units trained over 250 company-grade officers of the 95th 

and 103d Divs. at the various state encampment locations. In 1936, the division and 

brigade staffs participated in the Third Army CPX at Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis, TX, which was designed 

to prepare them for the large-scale army maneuvers to be held the summer of 1938. For participation in the Eighth 

Corps Area concentration of the Third Army Maneuvers in August 1938, the division was split between Camp Bullis 

(Oklahoma elements), Fort Bliss, TX (New Mexico and Colorado elements), and Fort Huachuca, AZ (Arizona elements). During the maneuver at Camp Bliss, the 45th Div. (-) operated as part of the provisional Brown Corps with 

the 2d Div. against the 36th Div. and the 56th Cav. Brig. of the Blue Corps. The following year (1939), the division 

adopted a new shoulder patch. The original patch was a red square, one point up, centered with the ancient Indian 

symbol of a yellow swastika. Due to its similarity to the symbol of Germany’s National-Socialist Party (Nazis), the 

division adopted a golden thunderbird symbol that was also sacred in Indian mythology. In August 1940, the 45th Div. 

again participated in the Third Army Maneuvers, this time near the Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana as part of 

the provisional VIII Corps. This was the first opportunity for all division elements to assemble and operate together 

since its organization. The 45th Div. was inducted into active Federal Service at home stations on 16 September 1940, 

assigned to the VIII Corps, and ordered to move to Fort Sill, where it arrived on 23 September 1940. The division was 

transferred to Camp Barkeley, TX, on 28 February 1941. After the division’s initial train-up period, the 45th Div. participated in the VIII Corps Maneuver 1–18 June 1941 near Brownwood, TX, and in the GHQ Maneuvers in August– 

September 1941 near Mount Carmel, LA. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Camp Barkeley, TX.

76th DIVISION “Onaway” Organized Reserve Connecticut and 

Rhode Island 

HQ—Hartford, CT, 1921–41 

The 76th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Hoboken, NJ, aboard the U.S.S. Kroonland 

on 10 December 1918 after 6 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 

14 January 1919 at Camp Devens, MA. The division was reconstituted in the O.R. 

on 24 June 1921, allotted to the First Corps Area, and assigned to the XI Corps. The 

division was further allotted to the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island as its 

home area. HQ of the “Onaway” Division was organized on 1 September 1921 at 

the State Armory in Hartford, CT. The HQ was subsequently relocated on 18 January 

1928 to Room 411, Donaghue Building at 535 Main Street in Hartford, and finally to 

the Federal Building at Church and High Streets on 28 February 1933, and remained 

there until activated for World War II. Upon reorganization after the Great War, the 

division was slow to build its strength. By 1926, the division was still only about 

67 percent complete with 605 officers assigned out of 905 authorized. This slow progression was due, in part, to the 

small number of ROTC programs located in the First Corps Area from which the division could draw its officers. To 

maintain communications with the officers of the division, the division headquarters published a newsletter named 

“The Spirit of ‘76” in keeping with division’s numerical designation and the military, geographical, and historical 

background of the region from which it drew its personnel. The newsletter informed the division’s members of such 

things as when and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training quotas 

were, where the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The 

designated mobilization and training station for the division was Camp Devens, the location where much of the 76th 

242
 

 

 

 

Div.’s training activities occurred in the interwar years. For the few summers when it was called to duty for training as 

a unit, the HQ, 76th Div. often trained with the staff of the 18th Inf. Brig. at Camp Devens. The summer training for 

the personnel assigned to the division HQ was varied and included staff training, branch-specific training, and CPXs. 

For several summers, however, the division HQ conducted its summer training at the Connecticut Agricultural College 

in Storrs. The camp at Storrs was also designated the “Special Officers Camp” and consisted of training for unassigned 

officers, officers who could not attend training with their assigned units, and basic training for recent ROTC and 

CMTC commissionees. The division’s subordinate units trained all over the First Corps Area. Divisional infantry 

regiments, for example, held their summer training primarily with the units of the 18th Inf. Brig. at Camp Devens, Fort 

Ethan Allen, VT, and Fort Adams, RI. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, 

and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the First, Second, and Third Corps Areas, usually with R.A. units of the 

same branch. For example, the 301st Engr. Regt. usually trained with the 1st Engr. Regt. at Fort Du Pont, DE; the 

301st Med. Regt. trained with the 1st Med. Regt. at Carlisle Barracks, PA; and the 301st Obsn. Sq. trained with the 5th 

Obsn. Sq. at Mitchel Field, NY. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated 

the responsibility for conducting the CMTC held at Camp Devens each year. On a number of occasions, the 76th 

Div. participated in First Corps Area or First Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These 

training events gave division staff officers an opportunity to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in 

the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the First Corps Area, the 76th Div. did not 

participate in the First Corps Area maneuvers and the First Army Maneuvers of 1935, 1939, and 1940 as an organized 

unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to 

R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring the units up to war strength for the exercises. Additionally, some were 

assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Hartford, 

CT.

77th DIVISION “Statue of Liberty” Organized Reserve New York 

HQ—Manhattan, NY, 1921–41 

The 77th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Hoboken, NJ, aboard the U.S.S. Mount Vernon 

on 25 April 1919 after 12 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 9 May 

1919 at Camp Upton, NY. It was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to 

the Second Corps Area, and assigned to the XII Corps. The division was further allotted 

to the southeastern portion of the state of New York, primarily the metropolitan area of 

New York City and Long Island as its home area. The division HQ was organized on 1 

July 1921 at the Army Building, 39 Whitehall Street in Manhattan, relocated in 1933 

to the Federal Building at 641 Washington Street, and remained there until activated 

for World War II. The initial formation of the division began with a rush, and by July 

1923, the “Statue of Liberty” Division was up to full strength in its complement of 

officers as required by its peacetime tables of organization and was the first Reserve 

division to do so. Many of its officers were Great War veterans of the division, and 

so there was a direct tie to the World War I organization, which established an esprit 

de corps equaled by few O.R. divisions during the period between the world wars. Lt. 

Col. Charles W. Whittlesey, the commander of the famous “Lost Battalion” during 

World War I, was instrumental in the initial recruiting efforts to get the division up to strength in the early 1920s. 

The division established a clubhouse at 27 West 25th Street in Manhattan which added to the camaraderie. Over a 

number of years, most units of the division had bronze plaques cast and inscribed with the names of their war dead 

mounted in the sitting areas of the club. Some 300 officers and men of the division participated annually in the Army 

Day parade and over 550 participated in the homecoming parade for Charles Lindbergh on 13 June 1927. All of these 

served to increase the esprit and camaraderie of the Statue of Liberty Division. The designated mobilization and 

training station for the division was Camp Dix, NJ, the location where much of the 77th’s training activities occurred 

in the interwar years. The division HQ generally conducted summer training at Camp Dix, and in 1934 and 1937, 

conducted major division-level CPXs there. On a number of occasions, the division HQ also participated in Second 

Corps Area or First Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave 

division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division 

was mobilized. The 77th Div. HQ occasionally trained with the staffs of the 1st Div. or the 1st Inf. Brig. at Camp Dix, 

or sometimes at Fort Slocum, NY. For 1 year, in 1926, the officers of the division HQ trained with the staff of the 27th 

Div. at Camp Smith, NY. In 1923, the division officers, with assistance from Col. Peter E. Traub, the division chief 

of staff, established Camp Blauvelt at Nyack, NY, for the purposes of providing a small training area for the division. 

Camp Blauvelt was frequently used for “contact camps” by subordinate units and occasionally by the division staff 

for mini-CPXs. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division generally held their summer training primarily with 

the units of the 1st Inf. Brig. at Camp Dix, but other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, 

medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Second and Third Corps Areas usually with other units of 

the 1st Div. For example, the division’s artillery trained with the 7th F.A. at Pine Camp, NY; the 302d Engineer Regt. 

usually trained with the 1st Engr. Regt. at Fort Du Pont, DE; the 302d Med. Regt. trained with the 1st Med. Regt. at 

Carlisle Barracks, PA; and the 302d Obsn. Sq. trained with the 5th Obsn. Sq. at Mitchel Field, NY. In addition to the 

unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the infantry CMTC held at 

Camp Dix and Plattsburg Barracks each year. The field artillery regiments conducted field artillery CMTC training at

Madison Barracks. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Second Corps Area, the 77th Div. did not participate in the 

Second Corps Area Maneuvers and the First Army Maneuvers of 1935, 1939, and 1940, as an organized unit due to 

lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a number of the enlisted reservists were assigned 

to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring the units up to war strength for the exercises. Additionally, some 

were assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel. Due to the mobilization of many officers beginning in 1939, 

all officers less those in the infantry and field artillery were relieved from their divisional assignments in July 1941 and 

assigned to branch pools instead. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Manhattan, NY.

78th DIVISION “Lightning Division” Organized Reserve New Jersey 

HQ—Manhattan, NY, 1921–24; Newark, NJ, 1924–41 

The 78th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Brooklyn, NY, aboard the U.S.S. Santa Ana 

on 6 June 1919 after 13 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 9 July 

1919 at Camp Dix, NJ. It was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted 

to the Second Corps Area, and assigned to the XII Corps. The division was further 

allotted to the state of New Jersey as its home area. The division HQ was organized 

on 1 July 1921 at 39 Whitehall Street in Manhattan, but relocated on 26 March 

1924 to the Globe Indemnity Building, Washington Place, Newark, NJ. The HQ 

was relocated on 25 July 1936 to the Federal Building, 1180 Raymond Boulevard in Newark and remained there until 

activated for World War II. Like the 77th Div., the initial formation of the “Lightning Division” was expedited by the 

enrollment of many officers who were World War I veterans of the division. To maintain communications with the 

officers of the division, the division staff published a newsletter, the “78th Division Gazette.” The newsletter informed 

the division’s members of such things as when and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the 

division’s summer training quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help 

conduct the CMTC training. The designated mobilization and training station for the division was Camp Dix, the 

location where much of the 78th’s training activities occurred in the interwar years. The division HQ often conducted 

its summer training there, and on a number of occasions, participated in CPXs at Camp Dix as well. The 78th Div. HQ 

also occasionally trained with the staffs of the 1st Div. or the 1st Inf. Brig. at Camp Dix. In 1924, the division officers 

with assistance from Col. Edward A. Shuttleworth, the division chief of staff, established Camp Silzer at Sea Girt, NJ, 

for the purposes of providing a training area for the division. Camp Silzer was used some summers by the division 

staff for CPXs and frequently for “contact camps” by subordinate units. For the 1937 camp at Camp Dix, the division 

staff and subordinate units planned and conducted an unusual division night attack exercise in coordination with 

the 303d Chem. Regt. and the 40th Engr. Bn. (Camo). The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held their 

summer training primarily with the units of the 1st Inf. Brig. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, 

aviation, medical, and quartermaster, usually trained at various posts in the Second and Third Corps Areas also with 

other units of the 1st Div. For example, the division’s artillery units trained with the 7th F.A. at Pine Camp, NY; the 

303d Engr. Regt. usually trained with the 1st Engr. Regt. at Fort Du Pont, DE; the 303d Med. Regt. trained with the 

1st Med. Regt. at Carlisle Barracks, PA; and the 303d Obsn. Sq. trained with the 5th Obsn. Sq. at Mitchel Field, NY. 

In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility for conducting the 

infantry CMTC held at Camp Dix each year. On a number of occasions, the division participated in Second Corps 

Area or First Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division 

staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was 

mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the First Corps Area, the 78th Div. did not participate in the Second Corps 

Area Maneuvers and the First Army Maneuvers of 1935, 1939, and 1940 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted 

personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to 

fill vacant slots and bring the units up to war strength for the exercises. Additionally, some were assigned duties as 

umpires or as support personnel. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Newark, NJ. 

Status: HHC are currently active in the US Army Reserve at Edison, NJ, as HHC, 78th Div. (Tng. Support).

79th DIVISION “Lorraine Division” Organized Reserve Pennsylvania 

HQ—Philadelphia, PA, 1921–41 

The 79th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Hoboken, NJ, aboard the U.S.S. Kroonland 

on 29 May 1919 after 10 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 2 June 

1919 at Camp Dix, NJ. It was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to 

the Third Corps Area, and assigned to the XIII Corps. The division was further allotted 

to the eastern half of the state of Pennsylvania as its home area. HQ of the “Lorraine 

Division” was originally organized on 29 September 1921 at the Schuylkill Arsenal, 

2620 Gray’s Ferry Road in Philadelphia. It was later relocated in 1930 to the Gimbal 

Building at 35 South Ninth Street. It was again relocated in 1935 to the New Custom 

House Building at Second and Chestnut Streets and remained there until activated for 

World War II. After activation, the division’s recruiting efforts were such that by 1926, 

the division was at 85 percent of its authorized strength. To maintain communications 

with the officers of the division, the division staff published a newsletter, the “79th 

Division Bulletin.” The newsletter informed the division’s members of such things as 

when and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training quotas were, where 

the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The designated 

mobilization and training station for the division was Camp George G. Meade, MD, the location where much of the 

79th’s training activities occurred in the interwar years. The division HQ usually conducted its summer training there, 

and on a number of occasions, participated in CPXs there as well. During these camps, the 79th Div. HQ occasionally 

trained with the staff of the 16th Inf. Brig. In May 1929, the 79th Div. conducted a contact camp at Conneaut, PA, 

and almost 500 of the division’s officers attended. The highlight of the camp was an aerial demonstration performed 

by the 99th Div.’s 324th Obsn. Sq. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held their summer training 

247
 

 

 

primarily with the units of the 16th Inf. Brig. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, 

medical, and quartermaster trained at various posts in the Second and Third Corps Areas usually with units of the 1st 

Div. or the active elements of the 8th Div. For example, the division’s artillery trained with the 16th F.A. at Camp 

Meade; the 304th Engr. Regt. usually trained with the 1st Engr. Regt. at Fort Du Pont, DE, or the 13th Engrs. at Camp 

Humphreys, VA; the 304th Med. Regt. trained with the 1st Med. Regt. at Carlisle Barracks, PA; and the 304th Obsn. 

Sq. trained with the 99th Obsn. Sq. at Bolling Field, DC. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments 

of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC training held at Camp Meade each year. On a number of 

occasions, the division participated in Third Corps Area or First Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., 

and O.R. units. Perhaps the division’s most ambitious CPX was a division-level exercise conducted round the clock 

for almost 2 weeks from 31 July to 12 August 1938. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities 

to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. In January 1940, 

many officers of the 79th Div. HQ attended a week of additional annual training performed by the HQ, 28th Div. The 

training was part of a War Department-directed effort to increase the readiness of N.G. units that winter. The 79th 

Div. officers voluntarily participated in the training without pay. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Third Corps 

Area, the 79th Div. did not participate in the Third Corps Area Maneuvers and the First Army Maneuvers of 1935, 

1939, and 1940 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few 

enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring the units up to war strength for 

the exercises. Additionally, some were assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel. Location of the division HQ 

on 7 December 1941 was Philadelphia, PA.

HQ—Richmond, VA, 1921–41 

The 80th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Newport News, VA, aboard the U.S.S. Zeppelin 

on 28 May 1919 after 12 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 5 June 

1919 at Camp Lee, VA. It was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted 

to the Third Corps Area, and assigned to the XIII Corps. The division was further 

allotted to the states of Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia as its home 

area. The division HQ was organized on 1 September 1921 at 1014 East Main Street 

in Richmond, VA. It was relocated in 1926 to the Post Office Building, moved in 1933 

to the Broad-Grace Arcade Building at Third and Grace Streets, and finally to the 

Parcel Post Building in 1935. The HQ remained there until activated for World War 

II. The designated mobilization and training station for the division was Camp George 

G. Meade, MD, the location where much of the 80th’s training activities occurred 

in the interwar years. The division HQ usually conducted its summer training there, and on a number of occasions,

and North Carolina 

HQ—Knoxville, TN, 1921–41 

The 81st Div. HQ arrived at the port of Hoboken, NJ, aboard the U.S.S. Cap 

Finisterre on 11 June 1919 after 11 months of overseas service and was demobilized 

upon arrival. It was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Fourth 

Corps Area, and assigned to the XIV Corps. The division was further allotted to 

the states of Tennessee and North Carolina as its home area. The division HQ was 

organized on 23 September 1921 at the Arnstein Building in Knoxville, TN, and 

relocated in 1927 to the L.F.M. Building in Knoxville. It was again relocated in 1933 

to the Post Office Building and remained there until activated for World War II. After 

activation, the division’s recruiting efforts were such that by February 1924, the 

division was at 100 percent of its authorized strength. To maintain communications 

with the officers of the division, the division staff published a newsletter, the “The 

Wildcat.” The newsletter informed the division’s members of such things as when and where the inactive training 

sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and 

250 
 

which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The designated mobilization and training station 

for the division was Camp McClellan, AL, the location where much of the 81st Div.’s training activities occurred 

in the interwar years. The division HQ usually conducted its summer training there, and on a number of occasions, 

participated in CPXs. The 81st Div. HQ occasionally trained with the staff of the 8th Inf. Brig. The subordinate 

infantry regiments of the division held their summer training primarily with the units of the 16th Inf. Brig. Other 

units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in 

the Fourth Corps Area usually with the active elements of the 4th Div. or other R.A. units. For example, the division’s 

artillery trained with the units of the 13th F.A. Brig. at Fort Bragg, NC; the 306th Engr. Regt. usually trained with the 

A Company, 4th Engr. Regt. at Fort Benning, GA; the 306th Med. Regt. trained at the medical officers training camp 

at Fort Oglethorpe, GA; and the 306th Obsn. Sq. trained with air corps units at Maxwell Field, AL. In addition to the 

unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC training held at 

Camp McClellan, AL, each year. On a number of occasions, the division participated in Fourth Corps Area or Third 

Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ 

opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike 

the R.A. and N.G. units in the Third Corps Area, the 81st Div. did not participate in the Fourth Corps Area Maneuvers 

and the Third Army Maneuvers of 1938, 1940, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and 

equipment. Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots 

and bring the units up to war strength for the exercises. For the 1938 Third Army Maneuver, for example, about 200 of 

the division’s officers were attached to the provisional 4th Div. to allow that unit to function as an almost full-strength 

division. Additionally, some were assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel. Location of the division HQ on 

7 December 1941 was Knoxville, TN.

82d DIVISION “All American” Organized Reserve South Carolina, 

Georgia, and Florida 

HQ—Columbia, SC, 1921–41 

The 82d Div. HQ arrived at the port of New York aboard the S.S. Alphonso XIII 

on 5 May 1919 after 12 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 27 

May 1919 at Camp Mills, NY. It was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, 

allotted to the Fourth Corps Area, and assigned to the XIV Corps. The division was 

further allotted to the states of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida as its home 

area. The division HQ was organized on 23 September 1921 at 12021⁄2 Main Street 

in Columbia, SC. The HQ was relocated in 1923 to the Post Office Building and 

remained there until activated for World War II. To maintain communications with 

the officers of the division, the division staff published a bulletin titled the “All 

American.” The newsletter informed the division’s members of such things as when 

and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer 

training quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and which units would be 

assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The designated mobilization and training station for the division was 

Camp McClellan, AL, the location where much of the 82d’s training activities occurred in the interwar years. The 

division HQ usually conducted its summer training and participated in division CPXs at Camp McClellan as well. The 

82d Div. HQ also occasionally trained with the staff of the 8th Inf. Brig. The subordinate infantry regiments of the 

division held their summer training primarily with the units of the 8th Inf. Brig. Other units, such as the special troops, 

artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Fourth Corps Area usually 

with the active elements of the 4th Div. or other R.A. units. For example, the division’s artillery trained with the units 

of the 13th F.A. Brig. at Fort Bragg, NC; the 307th Engr. Regt. usually trained with A Company, 4th Engr. Regt. at 

Fort Benning, GA; the 307th Med. Regt. trained at the medical officers training camp at Fort Oglethorpe, GA; and the 

307th Obsn. Sq. trained with air corps units at Maxwell Field, AL. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry 

regiments of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC training held at Camp McClellan each year. On 

a number of occasions, the division participated in Fourth Corps Area or Third Army CPXs in conjunction with other 

R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they 

would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Third 

Corps Area, the 82d Div. did not participate in the Fourth Corps Area maneuvers and the Third Army Maneuvers of 

1938, 1940, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a 

few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring the units up to war strength 

for the exercises. Additionally, some were assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel. Location of the division 

HQ on 7 December 1941 was Columbia, SC.

83d DIVISION “Ohio Division” Organized Reserve Ohio 

HQ—Columbus Barracks, 1921–22; Fort Hayes, OH, 1922–41 

The 83d Div. HQ arrived at the port of Hoboken, NJ, aboard the U.S.S. George 

Washington on 21 January 1919 after 8 months of overseas service and was 

demobilized on 8 October 1919 at Camp Sherman, OH. It was reconstituted in the 

O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Fifth Corps Area, and assigned to the XV Corps. 

The division was further allotted to the state of Ohio as its home area. The division 

HQ was organized on 27 September 1921 at Columbus Barracks (redesignated as Fort 

Hayes in 1922) in Columbus, OH, and remained there until activated for World War 

II. To maintain communications with the officers of the division, the division staff 

published the “83d Division Bulletin,” which was renamed “The Ohioan” by 1926. 

The newsletter informed the division’s members of such things as when and where 

the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training 

quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. 

The 83d Div. HQ occasionally trained with the staff of the 10th Inf. Brig. at Fort Benjamin Harrison. The subordinate 

infantry regiments of the division held their summer training primarily with the units of the 10th Inf. Brig. at Camp 

Knox, Fort Thomas, or Fort Benjamin Harrison. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, 

medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Fifth Corps Areas usually with active units of the 5th Div. 

For example, the division’s artillery trained with the 5th Div. F.A. units stationed at Camp Knox; the 308th Engr. 

Regt. usually trained at Fort Benjamin Harrison; the 308th Med. Regt. trained at Camp Knox; and the 308th Obsn. 

Sq. trained with the 88th Obsn. Sq. at Wright Field, OH. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments 

of the division rotated responsibility for conducting the infantry CMTC held at Camp Knox and Fort Thomas each 

year. On a number of occasions, the division participated in Fifth Corps Area or Second Army CPXs in conjunction 

with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the 

roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in 

the First Corps Area, the 83d Div. did not participate in the various Fifth Corps Area Maneuvers and the Second Army 

Maneuvers of 1936, 1940, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the 

officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring the units up 

to war strength for the exercises. Additionally, some officers were assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel.

84th DIVISION “Lincoln Division” Organized Reserve Indiana 

HQ—Indianapolis, IN, 1921–41 

The 84th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Hoboken, NJ, aboard the U.S.S. Wilhelmina 

on 19 January 1919 after 4 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 26 

July 1919 at Camp Zachary Taylor, KY. It was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 

1921, allotted to the Fifth Corps Area, and assigned to the XV Corps. The division was 

further allotted to the state of Indiana as its home area. The division HQ was organized 

on 6 September 1921 at room 408 in the Federal Building in Indianapolis, IN. The HQ 

was relocated in August 1922 to 24 East Michigan Street and moved again in 1928 

to the Meridian Life Building. The HQ was moved twice more before World War II: 

first to the Chamber of Commerce Building in 1933; and finally back to the Federal 

Building in 1937. It remained there until activated for World War II. Though the 

designated mobilization and training station for the division was Camp Knox, KY, and 

some of the division’s training occurred there, much of the training activities for the division HQ and its subordinate 

units transpired in other locations as well. For example, the 84th Div. HQ occasionally trained with the staff of the 10th 

Inf. Brig. at Fort Benjamin Harrison. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held their summer training 

primarily with the units of the 10th Inf. Brig. at Fort Thomas, or Fort Benjamin Harrison, but some years they went 

to Camp Knox. For some years, the 167th and 168th Inf. Brigs. and their subordinate units conducted camp at the 

Culver Military Academy in Culver, IN. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, 

and quartermaster trained at various posts in the Fifth Corps Areas usually with similar active units of the 5th Div. For 

example, the division’s artillery trained with the 5th Div. F.A. units stationed at Camp Knox; the 309th Engr. Regt. 

usually trained at Fort Benjamin Harrison; the 309th Med. Regt. trained at Camp Knox; and the 309th Obsn. Sq. 

trained with the 88th Obsn. Sq. at Wright Field, OH. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments of 

the division rotated responsibility for conducting the infantry CMTC held at Fort Thomas and Camp Knox each year. 

On a number of occasions, the division participated in various Fifth Corps Area or Second Army CPXs in conjunction 

255
 

 

 

with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the 

roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the 

First Corps Area, the 84th Div. did not participate in the Fifth Corps Area Maneuvers and the Second Army Maneuvers

85th DIVISION “Custer Division” Organized Reserve Michigan 

HQ—Detroit, MI, 1921–41 

The 85th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Hoboken, NJ, aboard the S.S. Aquitania on 

29 March 1919 after 6 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 18 April 

1919 at Camp Custer, MI. The 85th Div. was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 

1921, allotted to the Sixth Corps Area, and assigned to the XVI Corps. The division 

was further allotted to the state of Michigan as its home area. The division HQ was 

organized on 10 September 1921 in Room 304, Old Customhouse Building in Detroit, 

relocated on 27 July 1922 to the Marquette Building, and moved again on 6 July 

1923 to the New Telegraph Building. It was moved twice more before 1941; once to 

the Book Building at Washington and Grand River Avenues in 1926, and finally to 

the Federal Building in 1935 and remained there until activated for World War II. To 

maintain communications with the officers of the division, the division staff published 

a newsletter named “The 85th Division Bulletin.” The newsletter informed the division’s members of such things as 

when and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training quotas were, where 

the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The designated 

mobilization and training station for the division was Camp Custer, the location where much of the 85th Div.’s training 

activities occurred in the interwar years. The division HQ was called to duty for training there as a unit on a number 

of occasions, the first time being in April 1926. Oddly, the division HQ was ordered to Active Duty for a second time 

5–19 July that same summer. The HQ attended summer training as a unit, other than for corps area and army-level 

CPXs, only twice more before World War II: once in the summer of 1928 and again in 1937. The HQ and staff usually 

trained with the staff of the 12th Inf. Brig., either at Camp Custer or at Fort Sheridan, IL. The subordinate infantry 

regiments of the division held their summer training primarily with the 2d Inf. Regt. at Camp Custer beginning in 

June 1923. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster trained at 

various posts in the Sixth and Seventh Corps Areas. For example, the division’s artillery trained with the 1st Bn., 14th 

F.A. at Camp Custer; the special troops trained with the special troops of the 32d Div. at Camp Grayling, MI, or Camp 

Sparta (later McCoy), WI; the 310th Med. Regt. trained at Fort Snelling, MN; and the 310th Obsn. Sq. trained with 

the 15th Obsn. Sq. at Chanute Field, IL. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division 

rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC training held at Camp Custer each year. On a number of occasions, the 

division participated in Sixth Corps Area or Second Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. 

These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform 

in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Sixth Corps Area, the 85th Div. did not 

participate in the various Sixth Corps Area Maneuvers and the Second Army Maneuvers of 1935, 1939, and 1940 as an 

organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were 

assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring the units up to war strength for the exercises. Additionally, 

some were assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was 

Detroit, MI. 

Status: HHC are currently active in the US Army Reserve at Arlington Heights, IL, as HHC, 85th Div. (Exercise).

The 86th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Hoboken, NJ, aboard the U.S.S. Siboney on 

3 January 1919 after 4 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 18 April 

1919 at Camp Custer, MI. The 86th Div. was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, 

allotted to the Sixth Corps Area, and assigned to the XVI Corps. The division was 

further allotted to the state of Illinois as its home area. The division HQ was organized 

on 10 September 1921 at the Federal Building in Chicago. The HQ was relocated on 

18 October 1921 to the Leiter Building at 14 East Congress Street and remained there 

until activated for World War II. To maintain communications with the officers of the 

division, the chief of staff published a newsletter named “The Blackhawk Bulletin” 

in keeping with the division’s nickname and the military, geographical, and historical 

background of the regions from which it drew its personnel. The newsletter informed 

the division’s members of such things as when and where the inactive training sessions 

were to be held, what the division’s summer training quotas were, where the camps 

were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The designated mobilization 

and training station for the division was Camp Custer, MI, the location where much of the 86th Div.’s training activities 

occurred in the interwar years. The HQ and staff usually trained with the staff of the 12th Inf. Brig., either at Camp 

Custer or at Fort Sheridan, IL. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held their summer training primarily 

with the 2d Inf. Regt. at Camp Custer beginning in June 1923. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, 

engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Sixth and Seventh Corps Areas. For 

258
example, the division’s artillery trained with the 1st Bn., 14th F.A. at Camp Custer; the special troops trained with the 

special troops of the 32d Div. at Camp Grayling, MI, or Camp Sparta (later McCoy), WI; the 310th Med. Regt. trained 

at Fort Snelling, MN; and the 310th Obsn. Sq. trained with the 15th Obsn. Sq. at Chanute Field, IL. In addition to the 

unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC training held 

at Camp Custer and Fort Sheridan each year. On a number of occasions, the division participated in Sixth Corps Area 

or Second Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff 

officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. 

Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Sixth Corps Area, the 86th Div. did not participate in the various Sixth Corps 

Area Maneuvers and the Second Army Maneuvers of 1935, 1939, and 1940 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted 

personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to 

fill vacant slots and bring the units up to war strength for the exercises. Additionally, some were assigned duties as 

umpires or as support personnel. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Chicago, IL.

87th DIVISION “Golden Acorn” Organized Reserve Louisiana, 

Alabama, and Mississippi 

HQ—Jackson, MS, 1921; New Orleans, LA, 1921–41 

The 87th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Hoboken, NJ, aboard the U.S.S. Manchuria 

on 22 January 1919 after 5 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 14 

February 1919 at Camp Pike, AR. The 87th Div. was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 

June 1921, allotted to the Fourth Corps Area, and assigned to the XIV Corps. The 

division was further allotted to the states of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi as 

its home area. The division HQ was organized on 23 September 1921 at Jackson, 

MS. The HQ was subsequently relocated on 14 October 1921 to the New Orleans 

International Depot in New Orleans, LA, and once again relocated in April 1922 to 

Poland and Dauphine Streets where it remained until activated for World War II. To 

maintain communications with the officers of the division, the chief of staff published 

a division newsletter named “The Acorn” in keeping with division’s nickname and the military, geographical, and 

historical background of the regions from which it drew its personnel. The newsletter informed the division’s members 

of such things as when and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training 

quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. 

The designated mobilization and training station for the division was Camp McClellan, AL, the location where much 

of the 87th Div.’s training activities occurred in the interwar years. The division HQ was called to duty for training 

there as a unit on a number of occasions. The HQ and special staff usually trained with their counterparts on the staff 

of the 8th Inf. Brig., either at Camp McClellan, AL, or at Fort McPherson, GA. The subordinate infantry regiments 

of the division held their summer training primarily with the 8th or 22d Inf. Regts. at Camp McClellan, or at one 

of the R.A. regiment’s home stations. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, 

and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Fourth Corps Areas, usually with the active units of the 4th Div. 

For example, the division’s artillery trained with units of the 2d Bn., 16th F.A. at Fort Bragg, NC; the 312th Engr. 

Regt. trained at Fort Benning, GA, with companies of the 4th and 7th Engrs.; the 312th Med. Regt. trained at Fort 

Oglethorpe, GA; and the 312th Obsn. Sq. trained with the 22d Obsn. Sq. at Maxwell Field, AL. In addition to the 

unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC held at Camp 

McClellan and Fort McPherson each year. On a number of occasions, the division participated in Fourth Corps Area 

and Third Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff 

officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. 

Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Fourth Corps Area, the 87th Div. did not participate in the various Fourth Corps 

Area Maneuvers and the Third Army Maneuvers of 1938, 1940, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted 

personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill 

vacant slots and bring the units up to war strength for the exercises. Additionally, some officers were assigned duties as 

umpires or as support personnel. For the 1938 Third Army Maneuver, for example, about 200 of the division’s officers 

were attached to the N.G. 31st Div. to allow that unit to function as an almost full strength division. Location of the 

division HQ on 7 December 1941 was New Orleans, LA.

HQ—St. Paul 1921; Minneapolis, MN, 1921–41 

The 88th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Newport News, VA, aboard the U.S.S. 

Pocahontas on 1 June 1919 after 10 months of overseas service and was demobilized 

on 10 June 1919 at Camp Dodge, IA. The 88th Div. was reconstituted in the O.R. on 

24 June 1921, allotted to the Seventh Corps Area, and assigned to the XVII Corps. The 

division was further allotted to the states of Minnesota, Iowa, and North Dakota as its 

home area. The division HQ was organized on 2 September 1921 at 1684 Van Buren 

Street in St. Paul, MN, and relocated on 29 September 1921 to the Kasota Building, 

Fourth and Hennepin Streets in Minneapolis, MN. The HQ was relocated again in 

August 1924 to 835 Palace Building. It was relocated once more in July 1937 to the 

new Post Office Building in Minneapolis and remained there until activated for World 

War II. To maintain communications with the officers of the division, the division staff 

published a newsletter named “The Cloverleaf” after the unit’s shoulder patch. The newsletter informed the division’s 

members of such things as when and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer 

training quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC 

training. The designated mobilization and training station for the division was Camp Dodge. However, for summer 

training the HQ and staff usually trained with the staff of the 14th Inf. Brig., either at Fort Crook, NE, or at Fort 

Snelling, MN. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held their summer training primarily with the 3d Inf. 

Regt. at Fort Snelling or with the 17th Inf. at Fort Des Moines, IA. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, 

engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Sixth and Seventh Corps Areas, often 

with the active units of the 7th Div. or other Regular Army units. For example, the division’s artillery trained at 

Camp McCoy, WI; the 313th Engr. Regt. trained at Fort Riley, KS, with A Troop, 9th Engrs.; the 313th Med. Regt. 

trained at the medical corps training camp at Fort Snelling; and the 313th Obsn. Sq. trained with the 16th Obsn. Sq. at 

Marshall Field, KS. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility 

to conduct the CMTC training held at Fort Snelling, Fort Des Moines, and Fort Lincoln, ND, each year. On a number 

of occasions, the division participated in Seventh Corps Area and Fourth Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., 

N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would 

be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Fourth Corps 

Area, the 88th Div. did not participate in the Seventh Corps Area Maneuvers and the Fourth Army Maneuvers of 1937, 

1940, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few

89th DIVISION “Middle West Division” Organized Reserve Nebraska, 

Kansas, and South Dakota 

HQ—Omaha, NE, 1921–41 

The 89th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Hoboken, NJ, aboard the S.S. Rotterdam on 31 

May 1919 after 12 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 12 June 1919 

at Camp Funston, KS. The 89th Div. was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, 

allotted to the Seventh Corps Area, and assigned to the XVII Corps. The division 

was further allotted to the states of Nebraska, Kansas, and South Dakota as its home 

area. The division HQ was organized on 2 September 1921 at the Army Building, in 

Omaha, NE, and relocated in April 1924 to 22d and Hickory Streets in Omaha. It was 

moved to Fort Omaha in the late 1920s, and relocated one more time to the Federal 

Building in Omaha on 18 January 1934. The HQ remained there until activated for 

World War II. After its reorganization, the division formed rapidly and by November 

1922, the “Middle West Division” was up to 95 percent strength in its complement 

of officers as required by its peacetime tables of organization. To maintain communications with the officers of the 

division, the division staff published a newsletter, “The Mid-West.” The newsletter informed the division’s members 

of such things as when and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training 

quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. 

The designated mobilization and training station for the division was Fort Riley. The HQ and staff usually trained with 

the staff of the 14th Inf. Brig., either at Fort Crook, NE, or at Fort Snelling, MN. The subordinate infantry regiments 

of the division held their summer training primarily with the 17th Inf. Regt. at Fort Crook, NE, or Fort Leavenworth, 

263
 

KS. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various 

posts in the Sixth and Seventh Corps Areas, often with the active units of the 7th Div. For example, the division’s 

artillery trained at various posts to include Fort Riley, KS; Fort Des Moines, IA; and Camp McCoy, WI, with the 9th 

and 14th F.A. Regts.; the 314th Engr. Regt. trained at Fort Riley, KS, with A Troop, 9th Engrs.; the 314th Med. Regt. 

trained at the medical corps training camp at Fort Snelling; and the 314th Obsn. Sq. trained with the 16th Obsn. Sq. at 

Marshall Field, KS. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility 

to conduct the CMTC held at Fort Crook, Fort Des Moines, IA, and Fort Leavenworth each year. On a number of 

occasions, the division participated in Seventh Corps Area and Fourth Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., 

N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would 

be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Fourth Corps 

Area, the 89th Div. did not participate in the various Seventh Corps Area Maneuvers and the Fourth Army Maneuvers 

of 1937, 1940, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and

90th DIVISION “Alamo Division” Organized Reserve Texas 

HQ—San Antonio, TX, 1921–41 

The 90th Div. HQ arrived at the port of Boston, MA, aboard the S.S. Magnolia 

on 7 June 1919 after 12 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 17 

June 1919 at Camp Bowie, TX. The 90th Div. was reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 

June 1921, allotted to the Eighth Corps Area, and assigned to the XVIII Corps. The 

division was further allotted to the state of Texas as its home area. The division HQ 

was organized on 8 August 1921 with its offices located in the library of the Eighth 

Corps Area HQ at Fort Sam Houston, TX. The HQ was relocated on 14 September 

1921 to the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio, TX, and relocated again in June 1923 to 

Building 42-T at Fort Sam Houston. The HQ was relocated once more in July 1926 

to the Alamo Building in San Antonio and remained there until activated for World 

War II. After activation, the division’s recruiting efforts were such that by January 

1924, the division was at 99 percent of its authorized strength, which was the highest for any O.R. division at the time. 

To maintain communications with the officers of the division, the division staff published a newsletter titled “The 90th 

Division Bulletin.” The newsletter informed the division’s members of such things as when and where the inactive 

training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training quotas were, where the camps were to be held, 

and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The designated mobilization and training 

station for the division was Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis, TX, the locations where much of the 90th Div.’s 

training activities occurred in the interwar years. The HQ and staff usually trained with the staff of the 2d Div. at Fort 

Sam Houston. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held their summer training primarily with the 9th 

Inf. and 23d Inf. Regts. at Camp Bullis. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, 

and quartermaster, also trained at Fort Sam Houston or Camp Bullis with like units of the 2d Div. For the summer 

training camps of May 1932 and May 1933, the 90th Div. HQ, Special Troops, 315th Med. Regt., and 90th Div. Q.M. 

Tn. participated in maneuvers with the 2d Div. at Camp Bullis. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry 

regiments of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC training held at Fort Sam Houston each year. 

During the inactive training period, the 90th Div. staff would hold occasional contact camps at Texas A&M College in 

Bryan, TX. On a number of occasions, the division HQ and staff, and occasionally the three brigade HQ, participated 

in Eighth Corps Area and Third Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training 

events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event 

the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Eighth Corps Area, the 90th Div. did not participate 

in the various Eighth Corps Area Maneuvers and the Third Army Maneuvers of 1938, 1940, and 1941 as an organized 

unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned 

to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring those units up to war strength for the exercises. Additionally, some 

officers were assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel. But for each maneuver, the division maximized the 

number of participants. For example, for the 1938 maneuver at Camp Bullis, the 90th Div. provided 138 officers to the 

2d Div. and 66 to the 36th Div. Similar numbers participated in the two succeeding exercises. Location of the division 

HQ on 7 December 1941 was San Antonio, TX.

91st DIVISION “Wild West Division” Organized Reserve California 

HQ—San Francisco, CA, 1921–41 

The 91st Div. HQ arrived at the port of Brooklyn, NY, aboard the U.S.S. Calamares 

on 16 April 1919 after 11 months of overseas service and was demobilized on 13 

May 1919 at the Presidio of San Francisco, CA. The 91st Div. was reconstituted in 

the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Ninth Corps Area, and assigned to the XIX 

Corps. The division was further allotted to the state of California as its home area. The 

division HQ was organized in November 1921 at Building 88 on the Presidio of San 

Francisco. The HQ was later moved to Building 172 at the Presidio and remained there 

until activated for World War II. To maintain communications with the officers of the 

division, the division staff published a newsletter titled “The 91st Division Bulletin.” 

The newsletter informed the division’s members of such things as when and where 

the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training 

quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned 

to help conduct the CMTC training. The designated mobilization and training station 

for the division was Del Monte, CA, the location where much of the 91st Div.’s training activities occurred in the 

interwar years. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held their summer training with the 30th Inf. Regt. 

at Del Monte. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained 

at various posts in the Ninth Corps Area, often with the active units of the 3d Div. For example, the division’s artillery 

trained at the Presidio of Monterey with the 2d Bn., 76th F.A.; the 316th Engr. Regt. trained at Fort Lewis, WA, with 

the 6th Engrs.; the 316th Med. Regt. trained at the medical corps training camp at the Presidio of San Francisco; and 

266
 

 

 

the 316th Obsn. Sq. trained with the 91st Obsn. Sq. at Crissy Field, CA. In addition to the unit training camps, the 

infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC training held at Del Monte and the 

Presidio of California each year as well. On a number of occasions, the division participated in Ninth Corps Area and 

Fourth Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff 

officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized.

94th DIVISION Organized Reserve Massachusetts 

HQ—Boston, MA, 1921–41 

The 94th Div. was constituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the First Corps 

Area, and assigned to the XI Corps. The division was further allotted to the state of 

Massachusetts as its home area. The division HQ was organized in November 1921 at 

the Customhouse Tower in Boston, MA, and remained there until activated for World 

War II. To maintain communications with the officers of the division, the division staff 

published a newsletter titled “The 94th Division Bulletin.” The newsletter informed 

the division’s members of such things as when and where the inactive training 

sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training quotas were, where the 

camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC 

training. The designated mobilization and training station for the division was Camp 

Devens (redesignated Fort Devens in 1931), MA, the location where much of the 94th 

Div.’s training activities occurred in the interwar years. For the few summers when it was called to duty for training as 

a unit, the HQ, 94th Div. often trained with the staff of the 18th Inf. Brig. at Camp Devens. The summer training for the 

personnel assigned to the division HQ was varied and included staff training, branch-specific training, and divisionlevel CPXs. For several summers, however, the division conducted a “Special Officers Camp” at Camp Devens, which 

consisted of training for unassigned officers, officers who could not attend training with their assigned units, and basic 

officer training for recent ROTC and CMTC commissionees. The division’s subordinate units trained all over the First 

Corps Area. Divisional infantry regiments, for example, held their summer training primarily with the units of the 

18th Inf. Brig. at Camp Devens and Fort Ethan Allen, VT. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, 

aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the First, Second, and Third Corps Areas, often with 

the active units of the 1st and 9th Divs. For example, the division’s artillery trained at Fort Ethan Allen with the 7th 

F.A.; the 319th Engr. Regt. trained at Fort DuPont, DE, with the 1st Engrs.; the 319th Med. Regt. trained at Carlisle 

Barracks, PA, with the 1st Med. Regt.; and the 319th Obsn. Sq. trained with the 5th Obsn. Sq. at Mitchel Field, NY. In 

addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC 

training held at Camp Devens each year. On a number of occasions, the division participated in First Corps Area 

and First Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff 

officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. 

Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the First Corps Area, the 94th Div. did not participate in the various First Corps 

Area Maneuvers and the First Army Maneuvers of 1935, 1939, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted 

personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill 

vacant slots and bring the units up to war strength for the exercises. Additionally, some officers were assigned duties 

as umpires or as support personnel. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Boston, MA.

95th DIVISION “OK Division” Organized Reserve Oklahoma 

HQ—Oklahoma City, OK, 1921–41 

The 95th Div. was demobilized on 22 December 1919 at Camp Sherman, OH. It was 

reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Eighth Corps Area, and 

assigned to the XVIII Corps. The division was further allotted to the state of Oklahoma 

as its home area. The division HQ was organized on 31 August 1921 at the State 

Capitol in Oklahoma City, OK. It was rellocated on 3 May 1922 to the Tradesmen’s 

National Bank Building in Oklahoma City and relocated once again in August 1924 to 

2031⁄2 West Grand Avenue. The HQ remained there until activated for World War II. To 

maintain communications with the officers of the division, the chief of staff published 

a newsletter titled “The Observation Post.” The newsletter informed the division’s 

members of such things as when and where the inactive training sessions were to be 

held, what the division’s summer training quotas were, where the camps were to be 

held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The designated mobilization and training 

station for the division was Fort Sill, OK, the location where much of the 95th Div.’s training activities occurred in the 

interwar years. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held their summer training with the 3d Bn., 20th Inf. 

Regt. 1925–27; 1st Bn., 38th Inf. Regt. 1927–33; and the 3d Bn., 29th Inf. Regt. 1933–39 at Fort Sill. Other units, such 

as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Eighth 

Corps Area. For example, the division’s artillery trained at Fort Sill with the 1st F.A.; the 320th Engr. Regt. trained at 

Fort Sam Houston, TX, and Fort Logan, CO, with the 2d Engrs.; the 320th Med. Regt. trained at Fort Sam Houston 

with the 2d Med. Regt.; and the 320th Obsn. Sq. trained at Brooks Field, TX. In addition to the unit training camps, 

the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC training held at Fort Sill each year. 

269
On a number of occasions, the division participated in Eighth Corps Area and Third Army CPXs in conjunction with 

other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles 

they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the 

Eighth Corps Area, the 95th Div. did not participate in the various Eighth Corps Area Maneuvers and the Third Army 

Maneuvers of 1938, 1940, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the 

officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring the units up 

to war strength for the exercises. Additionally, some officers were assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel. 

But, for each maneuver, the division maximized the number of participants. For example, for the 1938 Maneuver at 

Camp Bullis, the 95th Div. provided 173 officers to the 2d Div. and 68 to the 45th Div. Similar numbers participated 

in the two succeeding exercises. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Oklahoma City.

96th DIVISION “Columbia Division” Organized Reserve Oregon and Washington 

HQ—Portland, OR, 1921–41 

The 96th Div. was demobilized on 7 January 1919 at Camp Wadsworth, SC. It was 

reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Ninth Corps Area, and 

assigned to the XIX Corps. The division was further allotted to the states of Oregon 

and Washington as its home area. The division HQ was organized on 7 October 1921 

at the New Post Office Building in Portland, OR, and remained there until activated 

for World War II. To encourage esprit de corps, in September 1922 the division’s 

officers adopted the nickname “Columbia Division” after the majestic Columbia 

River, which neatly ran through the middle of the division’s home area. To maintain 

communications with the officers of the division, the division staff published a 

newsletter appropriately nicknamed the “The Columbian.” The newsletter informed the division’s members of such 

things as when and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training quotas 

were, where the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The 

designated mobilization and training station for the division was Camp Lewis (later redesignated Fort Lewis in 1931), 

WA, the location where much of the 96th’s training activities occurred over the next 20 years. For the few summers 

when the division HQ was called to duty for training as a unit, the 96th Div. usually trained with the staff of the 3d 

Div. at Camp Lewis. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held their summer training primarily with the 

units of the 5th Inf. Brig. at Fort Lewis or Vancouver Barracks, WA. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, 

engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Ninth Corps Area with R.A. units of the 

same branch. For example, the 321st Engr. Regt. usually trained with elements of the 6th Engr. Regt. at Fort Lewis 

or Fort Lawton, WA; the 321st Med. Regt. trained with the 3d Med. Regt. at Camp Lewis; and the 321st Obsn. Sq. 

trained with the 91st Obsn. Sq. at Crissy Field, CA. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments 

of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC training held at Camp Lewis each year. On a number of 

occasions, the division participated in Ninth Corps Area and Fourth Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., 

and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be 

expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Ninth Corps Area, 

the 96th Div. did not participate in the various Ninth Corps Area Maneuvers and the Fourth Army Maneuvers of 1937, 

1940, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few 

enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring the units up to full peace strength 

for the exercises. For the 1937 Maneuver, for example, about 200 of the division’s officers were attached to the N.G. 

41st Div. to allow that unit to function as an almost full-strength division. Additionally, some officers were assigned 

duties as umpires or as support personnel. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Portland, OR.

97th DIVISION Organized Reserve New Hampshire, 

Maine, and Vermont 

HQ—Augusta, ME, 1921–22; Manchester, NH, 1922–37; Portland, ME, 1937–41 

The 97th Div. was demobilized on 22 December 1918 at Camp Cody, NM. It was 

reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the First Corps Area, and assigned 

to the XI Corps. The division was further allotted to the states of New Hampshire, 

Maine, and Vermont as its home area. The HQ was organized in December 1921 

initially at Augusta, ME, then relocated in September 1922 to the Bell Building at 

922 Elm Street in Manchester, NH. The HQ was again relocated in August 1923 to 

the Federal Building in Manchester. In late 1937, the HQ was transferred to the new 

Post Office Building in Portland, ME, and remained there until activated for World 

War II. After its organization, the division rapidly built its strength. Although the 97th 

Div. area had virtually no major population centers and possessed a poor highway 

network, the division was above 90 percent complete by November 1923. Due to the 

poor road network and because the division’s officers tended to be concentrated in 

the larger towns, the division’s personnel, less those in the infantry regiments, tended 

to hold their inactive training meetings as “group” meetings (i.e., without respect to unit assignment) rather than unit 

meetings. To maintain communications with the officers of the division, the division staff published a newsletter titled 

the “97th Division Bulletin.” The newsletter informed the division’s members of such things as when and where the 

inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer training quotas were, where the camps were to 

be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The mobilization and training station 

for the division was Camp Devens, MA, the location where much of the 97th’s training activities occurred over the 

next 20 years. For the few summers when the division HQ was called to duty for training as a unit, the 97th Div. 

trained with the staff of the 18th Inf. Brig. at Camp Devens, and occasionally with the staff of the 5th Inf. Regt. at 

Fort Williams, ME. The summer training for the personnel assigned to the division HQ was varied and included staff 

training, branch-specific training, and division-level CPXs. For several summers, however, the division conducted a 

272
 

“Special Officers Camp” at Fort Ethan Allen, which consisted of training for unassigned officers, officers who could 

not attend training with their assigned units, and basic officer training for recent ROTC and CMTC commissionees. 

The division also held periodic contact camps during the inactive training period, usually at Poland Spring, ME. The 

division’s subordinate units trained all over the First Corps Area. Divisional infantry regiments, for example, held their 

summer training primarily with the units of the 18th Inf. Brig. at Camp Devens; Fort Ethan Allen, VT; Fort Adams, RI; 

and Forts McKinley and Williams, ME. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, 

and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the First, Second, and Third Corps Areas with R.A. units of the same 

branch. For example, the 322d Engr. Regt. usually trained with elements of the 1st Engr. Regt. at Fort Du Pont, DE; 

the 322d Med. Regt. trained with the 1st Med. Regt. at Carlisle Barracks, PA; and the 322d Obsn. Sq. trained with 

the 5th Obsn. Sq. at Mitchel Field, NY. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division 

rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC held at Camp Devens, Fort McKinley, and Fort Etham Allen each year. 

On a number of occasions, the division participated in First Corps Area and First Army CPXs in conjunction with 

other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles 

they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the First 

Corps Area, the 97th Div. did not participate in the various First Corps Area Maneuvers and the First Army Maneuvers 

of 1935, 1939, and 1940 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers 

and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring the units up to full 

peace strength for the exercises. Additionally, some officers were assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel. 

Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Portland, ME.

98th DIVISION “Iroquois” Organized Reserve New York 

HQ—Syracuse, NY, 1921–41 

The 98th Div. was demobilized in November 1918 at Camp McClellan, AL. It was 

reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Second Corps Area, and 

assigned to the XII Corps. The division was further allotted to the upstate areas of 

New York as its home area. The division HQ was organized on 18 August 1921 at the 

Federal Building in Syracuse, NY, and remained there until activated for World War 

II. The designated mobilization and training station for the division was the Syracuse 

Concentration Area for all elements except the division artillery units, which would 

mobilize at Pine Camp, NY. The division HQ was called to duty for training as a unit 

on a number of occasions, usually for CPXs. The 98th Div. HQ usually trained with 

the staff of the 2d Inf. Brig. at Madison Barracks, NY, 1924–30 (with the exception 

of the 1927 annual training at Fort Niagara), and at Fort Ontario, NY, 1931–39, after 

the 2d Brig. HQ was moved to that post. In December 1932, the division conducted 

a CPX at Plattsburg Barracks, NY, with the staffs of the 2d Inf. Brig. and the 26th 

Inf. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division generally held their summer 

training with the units of the 2d Inf. Brig. at Plattsburg Barracks, Fort Niagara, or Fort Ontario. Other units, such as 

the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Second and 

Third Corps Areas usually with other units of the 1st Div. For example, the division’s artillery trained with the 7th 

F.A. at Pine Camp; the 323d Engr. Regt. usually trained with the 1st Engr. Regt. at Fort Du Pont, DE; the 323d Med. 

Regt. trained with the 1st Med. Regt. at Carlisle Barracks, PA; and the 323d Obsn. Sq. trained with the 5th Obsn. Sq. 

at Mitchel Field, NY. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility 

to conduct the CMTC held at Plattsburg Barracks and Fort Niagara each year. On a number of occasions, the division 

participated in Second Corps Area and First Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. The 

first of these CPXs was held by the Second Corps Area at Camp Dix, NJ, 7–21 July 1929, followed by several First 

Army CPXs in the years leading up to World War II. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to 

practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. 

units in the First Corps Area, the 98th Div. did not participate in the various Second Corps Area Maneuvers and the 

First Army Maneuvers of 1935, 1939, and 1940 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. 

Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring

The 99th Div. was demobilized on 7 January 1919 at Camp Wadsworth, SC. It was 

reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Third Corps Area, and 

assigned to the XIII Corps. The division was further allotted to the western half of the 

state of Pennsylvania as its home area. The division HQ was organized in November 

1921 at 3939 Butler Street, Pittsburgh, PA. The HQ was relocated in December 1922 

to Room 604 in the Chamber of Commerce Building. It was relocated again in October 

1923 to Room 310 in the Westinghouse Building and remained there until activated 

for World War II. After its reorganization, the division slowly built its strength, and by 

July 1924, the division was at 100 percent strength in authorized officers, but dropped 

back to 91 percent by March 1926. Typically, many of the division’s units in Pittsburgh 

conducted their inactive training period meetings at the N.G. armory in that city. The 

designated mobilization and training station for the division was Camp George G. Meade (later redesignated Fort 

George G. Meade in 1929), MD, the location where much of the 99th’s training activities occurred over the next 20 

years. For the few summers when the division HQ was called to duty for training as a unit, the HQ, 99th Div. usually 

trained with the staff of the 16th Inf. Brig. at Camp Meade. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held 

their summer training primarily with the units of the 16th Inf. Brig. at Fort Meade or Fort Eustis, VA. Other units, such 

as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Third 

Corps Area with R.A. units of the same branch. For example, the 304th Engr. Regt. usually trained with elements of 

the 1st Engr. Regt. at Fort DuPont, DE; the 304th Med. Regt. trained with the 1st Med. Regt. at Carlisle Barracks, PA; 

and the 304th Obsn. Sq. trained with the 50th and 21st Obsn. Sqs. at Langley Field, VA. In addition to the unit training 

camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC training held at Camp

Meade, Fort Eustis, and Fort Washington, MD, each year. On a number of occasions, the division participated in Third 

Corps Area and First Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. Two of the more notable CPXs 

were the Third Corps Area CPX at Fort George G. Meade conducted 6–19 July 1930 and a division CPX conducted 

23 August–5 September 1936 at Indiantown Gap, PA. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities 

to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and 

N.G. units in the Third Corps Area, the 99th Div. did not participate in the various Third Corps Area Maneuvers and 

the First Army Maneuvers of 1935 and 1939 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. 

Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring 

the units up to full peace strength for the exercises. Additionally, some officers were assigned duties as umpires or as

100th DIVISION “Century” Organized Reserve West Virginia 

and Kentucky 

HQ—Charleston, WV, 1921–28; Huntington, WV, 1928–41 

The 100th Div. was demobilized on 26 July 1919 at Camp Zachary Taylor, KY. It was 

reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Fifth Corps Area, and assigned 

to the XV Corps. The division was further allotted to the states of West Virginia and 

Kentucky as its home area. The division HQ was organized on 27 September 1921 at 

209 Greenbriar Street, Charleston, WV, but relocated in April 1922 to 815 Quarrier 

Street and moved again in September 1922 to the Morrison Building in Charleston. 

The HQ was relocated a final time on 30 June 1928 from 1313 Union Bank and 

Trust Building in Charleston to the Coal Exchange Building in Huntington, WV, and 

remained there until activated for World War II. To maintain communications with the 

officers of the division, the division staff published a newsletter titled “The Century,” 

which alluded to the division’s numerical designation. The newsletter informed the 

division’s members of such things as when and where the inactive training sessions 

were to be held, what the division’s summer training quotas were, when and where 

the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The 100th Div. 

HQ occasionally trained with the staff of the 10th Inf. Brig. at Fort Benjamin Harrison. The subordinate infantry 

regiments of the division held their summer training primarily with the units of the 10th Inf. Brig. at Camp Knox, 

Fort Thomas, or Fort Benjamin Harrison. Some years, the 167th and 168th Inf. Brigs., and their subordinate units, 

conducted camp at the Culver Military Academy in Culver, IN. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, 

engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Fifth Corps Areas, usually with active 

units of the 5th Div. For example, the division’s artillery trained with the 5th Div. field artillery units stationed at Camp 

Knox; the 309th Engr. Regt. usually trained at Fort Benjamin Harrison; the 309th Med. Regt. trained at Camp Knox; 

and the 309th Obsn. Sq. trained with the 88th Obsn. Sq. at Wright Field, OH. In addition to the unit training camps, 

the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility for conducting the infantry CMTC training held at Camp 

Knox and Fort Thomas each year. On a number of occasions, the division participated in Fifth Corps Area and Second 

Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ 

opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike 

the R.A. and N.G. units in the First Corps Area, the 100th Div. did not participate in the various Fifth Corps Area 

Maneuvers and the Second Army Maneuvers of 1936, 1940, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted 

personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill 

vacant slots and bring the units up to war strength for the exercises. Additionally, some officers were assigned duties 

as umpires or as support personnel. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Huntington, West Virginia. 

Status: HHC are currently active in the US Army Reserve at Louisville, KY, as HHC, 100th Div. (Institutional 

Training).

101st DIVISION Organized Reserve Wisconsin 

HQ—Milwaukee, WI, 1921–41 

The 101st Div. was demobilized on 11 December 1918 at Camp Shelby, MS. It was 

reconstituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Sixth Corps Area, and 

assigned to the XVI Corps. The division was further allotted to the state of Wisconsin 

as its home area. The division HQ was organized on 10 September 1921 in Room 412, 

Federal Building in Milwaukee, WI, and relocated in July 1922 to the Pereles Building 

where it remained until activated for World War II. To maintain communications with 

the officers of the division, the division staff published a newsletter titled “The 101st 

Division Bulletin.” The newsletter informed the division’s members of such things 

as when and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s 

summer training quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and which units 

would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The designated mobilization 

and training station for the division was Camp Custer, the location where much of 

the 101st Div.’s training activities occurred in the interwar years. The HQ and staff usually trained with the staff of the 

12th Inf. Brig., either at Camp Custer or at Fort Sheridan, IL. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held 

their summer training primarily with the 2d Inf. Regt. at Camp Custer. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, 

engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Sixth and Seventh Corps Areas. For 

example, the division’s artillery trained with the 1st Bn., 14th F.A. at Camp Custer; the special troops trained with 

the special troops of the 32d Div. at Camp Grayling, MI, or Camp Sparta (later redesignated Camp McCoy), WI; the 

326th Med. Regt. trained at Fort Snelling, MN; and the 326th Obsn. Sq. trained with the 15th Obsn. Sq. at Chanute 

278 
 

 

Field, IL, or at Selfridge Field, MI. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated 

responsibility to conduct the CMTC training held at Camp Custer each year. On a number of occasions, the division 

participated in Sixth Corps Area and Second Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These 

training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in 

the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Sixth Corps Area, the 101st Div. did not

102d DIVISION “Ozark” Organized Reserve Missouri 

and Arkansas 

HQ—St. Louis, MO, 1921–41 

The 102d Div. was constituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Seventh 

Corps Area, and assigned to the XVII Corps. The division was further allotted to the 

states of Missouri and Arkansas as its home area. The division HQ was organized on 

2 September 1921 at 3d and Olive Streets in St. Louis, MO, and relocated in 1923 

to the Old Customhouse. The HQ remained there until activated for World War II. 

To encourage esprit de corps, the division adopted the nickname “Ozark” after the 

mountainous region that ran through both states and defined the division’s home area. To 

maintain communications with the officers of the division, the division staff published a 

newsletter appropriately titled “Ozark.” The newsletter informed the division’s members 

of such things as when and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the 

division’s summer training quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and which 

units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. The division formed rapidly and by November 1922, the 

“Ozark” division was up to 95 percent strength in its complement of officers as required by its peacetime tables of 

organization. The designated mobilization and training station for the division was Fort Riley, KS. The HQ and staff 

usually trained at Fort Leavenworth, KS. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held their summer training 

primarily with the 17th Inf. Regt. at Fort Leavenworth. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, 

aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts in the Sixth and Seventh Corps Areas, often with the 

active units of the 7th Div. For example, the division’s artillery trained at Fort Riley; the 327th Engr. Regt. also 

trained at Fort Riley with A Troop, 9th Engrs.; the 327th Med. Regt. trained at the medical corps training camp at Fort 

Snelling; and the 327th Obsn. Sq. trained with the 16th Obsn. Sq. at Marshall Field, KS. In addition to the unit training 

camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility to conduct the CMTC held at Fort Leavenworth 

each year. On a number of occasions, the division participated in Seventh Corps Area and Fourth Army CPXs in 

conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities 

to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and 

N.G. units in the Seventh Corps Area, the 102d Div. did not participate in the various Seventh Corps Area Maneuvers 

and the Fourth Army Maneuvers of 1937, 1940, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and

103d DIVISION “Cactus” Organized Reserve Colorado, 

Arizona, and New Mexico 

HQ—Denver, CO, 1921–41 

The 103d Div. was constituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Eighth Corps 

Area, and assigned to the XVIII Corps. The division was further allotted to the states of 

Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico as its home area. The division HQ was organized 

on 31 August 1921, at the State Capitol in Denver, CO. The HQ was moved on 29 

March 1922 to the Kittredge Building at 16th Street and Glenarm Place in Denver and 

remained there until activated for World War II. To encourage esprit de corps, in 1922 the 

division’s officers adopted the nickname “Rocky Mountain Division” after the majestic 

mountain range that defined much of the division’s home area. However, this nickname 

soon gave way to the moniker “Cactus Division” after the unit’s shoulder patch. To 

maintain communications with the officers of the division, the division staff published 

a newsletter appropriately titled “The Cactus.” The newsletter informed the division’s 

members of such things as when and where the inactive training sessions were to be held, what the division’s summer 

training quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and which units would be assigned to help conduct the CMTC 

training. The large geographical area of the division made it difficult to bring subordinate units of the division together 

for virtually any training events except for those units in Denver. The division HQ, special troops, 206th Inf. Brig. (less 

one regiment), 176th F.A. Brig. (less one regiment), and a few other assorted units were located in Denver. Inactive 

training period activities of the division were generally conducted at the local level near concentrations of division 

personnel. One event that turned out large numbers of the Denver members of the division was the Memorial Day 

parade held in that city each year. The subordinate infantry regiments of the division held their summer training with 

the 25th Inf. Regt. at Fort Huachuca and Camp Stephen D. Little, AZ, and with the 1st Bn., 38th Inf. Regt. at Fort 

Logan, CO. Other units, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained 

at various posts in the Eighth Corps Area. For example, the division’s artillery regiments trained at Fort Bliss with 

the 82d F.A. or at Fort Francis E. Warren with the 2d Bn., 76th F.A.; the 328th Engr. Regt. trained with the 2d Engrs. 

at Fort Sam Houston, TX, and later at Fort Logan, CO; the 320th Med. Regt. trained at Fort Sam Houston with the 

2d Med. Regt.; and the 328th Obsn. Sq. trained at Brooks Field and some years at Fort Bliss, TX. On a number of 

occasions, the division participated in Eighth Corps Area and Third Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., 

and O.R. units. These training events gave division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be 

expected to perform in the event the division was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Eighth Corps Area, 

the 103d Div. did not participate in the various Eighth Corps Area Maneuvers and the Third Army Maneuvers of 1938, 

1940, and 1941 as an organized unit due to lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few 

enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring the units up to war strength for 

the exercises. Additionally, some officers were assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel. However, for each 

maneuver, the division maximized the number of participants. For example, for the 1938 maneuver at Fort Francis E. 

Warren, WY, Fort Bliss, TX, and Fort Huachuca, AZ, the 103d Div. provided 228 officers to R.A. units and 53 to units 

281
 

of the 45th Div. Similar numbers participated in the two succeeding Army maneuvers. Location of the division HQ on 

7 December 1941 was Denver.

104th DIVISION “Frontier Division” Organized Reserve Utah, Idaho, 

Montana, and Wyoming 

HQ—Fort Douglas, UT, 1921–23; Salt Lake City, UT, 1923–41 

The 104th Div. was constituted in the O.R. on 24 June 1921, allotted to the Ninth 

Corps Area, and assigned to the XIX Corps. The division was allocated to the states 

of Utah, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming as its home area. The HQ was organized on 

7 October 1921 at Fort Douglas, UT, and relocated in May 1923 to Room 312, in 

the Commercial Building in Salt Lake City. The HQ was moved on 30 September 

1926 to the Vermont Building where it remained until activated for World War II. To 

maintain communications with the officers of the division, the division staff published 

a newsletter titled “Frontier Division,” which was reflective of the unit’s geographical 

area. The newsletter informed the division’s members what the division’s summer 

training quotas were, where the camps were to be held, and which units would be 

assigned to help conduct the CMTC training. For the few summers when the division HQ was called to duty for 

282 
 

 

training as a unit, the 104th Div. usually trained with the staff of the 6th Inf. Brig. at Fort Douglas. The subordinate 

infantry regiments of the division held their summer training primarily with the units of the 3d Div. at Fort Douglas 

and Fort Missoula, WY, and some years with the 4th Inf. Brig. at the Pole Mountain Reservation, WY. Other units, 

however, such as the special troops, artillery, engineers, aviation, medical, and quartermaster, trained at various posts 

in the Ninth Corps Area with R.A. units of the same branch. For example, the 329th Engr. Regt. usually trained with 

elements of the 6th Engr. Regt. at Camp Lewis, WA, and 329th Med. Regt. trained at the Post Hospital at Fort Francis 

E. Warren, WY. In addition to the unit training camps, the infantry regiments of the division rotated responsibility 

to conduct the CMTC held at Camp Lewis each year. On a number of occasions, the division participated in Ninth 

Corps Area and Fourth Army CPXs in conjunction with other R.A., N.G., and O.R. units. These training events gave 

division staff officers’ opportunities to practice the roles they would be expected to perform in the event the division 

was mobilized. Unlike the R.A. and N.G. units in the Ninth Corps Area, the 104th Div. did not participate in the 

various Ninth Corps Area Maneuvers and the Fourth Army Maneuvers of 1936 and 1940 as an organized unit due to 

lack of enlisted personnel and equipment. Instead, the officers and a few enlisted reservists were assigned to R.A. and 

N.G. units to fill vacant slots and bring the units up to full peace strength for the exercises. Additionally, some officers 

were assigned duties as umpires or as support personnel. Location of the division HQ on 7 December 1941 was Salt 

Lake City.

(Institutional Training).

PANAMA CANAL DIVISION 

HQ—Quarry Heights, CZ, 1921; Fort Amador, CZ, 1921–32; Panama Canal Department, 1932–38 

The Panama Canal Division was constituted in the R.A. on 3 June 1921 and activated 

with HQ at Quarry Heights, CZ, on 3 July 1921. The division HQ was moved on 

a permanent change of station to Fort Amador in October 1921. The Panama Canal 

Division was the primary ground force of the Panama Canal Department and was 

assigned the mission of defending the Canal Zone from potential invaders. It was 

organized around the nucleus of the 19th Inf. Brig., consisting of the 14th and the 

33d Inf. Regts., the 42d Inf., the 1st Bn., 11th Engrs., and several of the companies 

in the division special troops. The division continued to activate units throughout 

1921 adding the HHC, 20th Inf. Brig.; the HQ, Panama Canal Division Q.M. Tn., and 

several subordinate elements; and the 10th Mtcyl Co. in November. In December, the 

1st Bn., 4th F.A. was added, followed by the 2d Bn., 11th Engrs., which rounded out the 

division in June 1922. Compared to other R.A. divisions of the time, the Panama Canal 

Division was fortunate in that it was located on the terrain on which it would fight if 

the Canal Zone was ever invaded. Therefore, the training in which the division participated assumed a more important 

character than the scripted exercises that stateside units often conducted. The division’s training cycle was regulated by 

Panama’s weather patterns. Individual training, marksmanship training, and schools for unit specialists, for example, 

took place during the rainy months of May–August. The fairer months of September–December were devoted to 

officer and non-commissioned officer schools, garrison work details, inspections, and maneuver preparation. The 

early part of the year began with small unit training, reconnaissance of planned and existing defensive positions in 

the Canal Zone, and exercising transportation and communications systems. These activities were concurrent with, or 

followed by, the repair and construction of roads, and combined training with air corps and coast artillery units. The 

training year finally culminated in the large-scale division and department maneuvers held in February and March. 

The department maneuvers often included large surface squadrons from the US Navy and occasionally, amphibious 

invasion forces provided by the US Marine Corps. The Panama Canal Division was forced to inactivate several 

units over the years due to budget decreases. These inactivations included the 20th Inf. Brig., the 42d Inf., and the 

Panama Canal Division Q.M. Tn. HQ in 1931. Additionally, in 1931, the department commander recommended to 

the War Department an experimental reorganization of units in the Panama Canal Department. The new organization 

was tested in the February 1932 department maneuver and was subsequently approved by the War Department for 

permanent adoption. The reorganization resulted in the inactivation of the Panama Canal Division HQ and HHC, 

19th Inf. Brig. on 15 April 1932. The remaining units of the division were assigned to the HQ of the newly organized 

Atlantic and Pacific Sectors, which also assumed control of all coast artillery elements on each sector’s respective side 

of the Canal Zone. The Panama Canal Division’s tables of organization were maintained at the department HQ in the 

unlikely event that there would be a requirement to reactivate the division for deployment outside the Canal Zone, 

which required a more mobile organization. The potential for this requirement was extremely limited, however, and as 

a result, the division was disbanded in 1938.

HAWAIIAN DIVISION 

HQ—Schofield Barracks, TH, 1921–41 

The Hawaiian Division was constituted in the R.A. on 1 February 1921 and activated at 

Schofield Barracks, Territory of Hawaii, on 1 March 1921. The division was the primary 

ground force of the Hawaiian Department and was given the mission of defending the 

Hawaiian Islands from potential invaders. The division had the primary responsibility to 

defend the island of Oahu, with the 21st Inf. Brig. defending the northern half of the island 

and the 22d Inf. Brig. responsible for the southern half. The other outlying islands were 

to be defended by the regiments of the Hawaii N.G. Throughout 1921–23, the division 

was busy with receiving newly assigned units, activating new units, and organizing the 

old ones into brigades in order to mold an effective fighting force. It was not until 1925 

that the division was put into the field to begin practicing the mission with which it was 

tasked. In April of that year, the Hawaiian Division participated in large-scale joint Army–Navy maneuvers, which 

included protecting the islands from an invasion force provided by the US Marine Corps. The next major maneuver 

for the division was another Army–Navy exercise in February 1931, followed by Hawaiian Department Maneuvers 

in October and November. These exercises were the primary training events for the division during the interwar years 

and occurred about once a year from 1931 on. Due to the very small budgets of the time, units did not spend a lot of 

the time in the field. As a result, much of the soldiers’ time was spent on police call, “rock painting,” and other post 

beautification projects. In the Hawaiian Division, sports were high on the list of preferred activities. Competition 

was fierce, particularly between regiments, and all events drew a large crowd of both officers and men. Outings to 

Honolulu were the favorite form of pastime for the soldiers, but the isolated location of Schofield Barracks and the 

control of passes by company first sergeants made such trips less frequent than the soldiers would have preferred. The 

285
 

 

Hawaiian Division was known as a “spit and polish” outfit in the interwar Army, and there was a lot of time to conduct 

drill and ceremonies. As a result, the division participated in reviews on a regular basis. The first division review was 

held on 24 June 1921 in honor of Brig. Gen. Joseph E. Kuhn, the division’s first commander. Throughout the interwar 

years, reviews were held to honor many well-known persons who were members of the division or were visitors to the 

Hawaiian Islands. Reviews for the incoming or departing division commanders were standard procedure, but reviews 

were also held for the governor of Hawaii, the secretary of war, and members of Congress. The most well-known 

honoree at a Hawaiian Division review, however, was President Franklin D. Roosevelt when he visited Schofield 

Barracks on 26 July 1934. By the late 1930s, the idyllic existence of the Hawaiian Division was fast coming to an end 

as tensions increased between the United States and Japan. The training of the division became more serious and more 

realistic, but before it could have its mettle tested in battle, the Hawaiian Division was split on 1 October 1941 to form 

the new triangular 24th and 25th Inf. Divs. The lineage and shoulder sleeve insignia of the division was assigned to 

the 24th Div.

PHILIPPINE DIVISION 

HQ—Fort McKinley, PI, 1922–41 

The Philippine Division was constituted in the R.A. on 7 December 1921 and activated 

at Fort McKinley, Philippine Islands, on 10 April 1922. The division was the primary 

ground force of the Philippine Department and was given the mission of defending the 

Philippine archipelago from potential invaders. The division began organizing around 

the nucleus of the 23d Inf. Brig. (consisting of the 45th and the 57th Inf. Regts.), which 

was activated on 15 December 1921. Additionally, the 31st Inf.; the 1st Bn., 24th F.A.; 

the 1st Bn., 14th Engrs.; and several of the companies in the division special troops were 

already organized and integrated into the division. The division continued to receive and 

activate units throughout 1922, adding HHC, 24th Inf. Brig.; HHC, 12th F.A. Brig.; HQ, 

Philippine Division Q.M. Tns., and several of the train’s elements; and the 12th Mtcyl 

Co. by April. The 15th Inf. was assigned to the division in July 1922, however, only 

the 1st Bn. was stationed in the Philippines. The remainder of the regiment was posted 

to the American Barracks in Tientsin, China, and attached to HQ, American Forces in China. By the end of 1922, 

the 12th Med. Regt. was activated and rounded out the division’s structure. The Philippine Division was forced to 

inactivate several units over the interwar years due to budget decreases, starting with the 12th F.A. Brig. HQ in 1922, 

followed by the 1st Bn., 15th Inf. in 1929, and the 24th Inf. Brig. HQ in 1930. With the relief of the 31st Inf. from the 

division in 1931, the 24th Brig. was redesignated as a Philippine Scout (PS) organization and the 43d and 44th Inf. 

Regts. (PS) were added to the brigade as inactive units. Additionally, the inactive 25th F.A. (PS) was relieved and the 

23d F.A. (PS) replaced it as the division’s other indirect fire regiment, also in an inactive status. Like other overseas 

divisions at the time, the Philippine Division was fortunate in that it was located on the terrain on which it would 

fight if the archipelago was ever invaded. Therefore, the training in which it participated tended to be more realistic 

and provided a more focused military environment. The environment helped to develop many of the Army officers 

who would lead the United States to victory in World War II. Due to the archipelago’s seasonal weather patterns, the 

division conducted individual training, marksmanship training, and schools for specialists during the rainy months 

of June–August. The drier months of September–November were devoted to officer and noncommissioned officer 

schools, garrison work details, inspections, and maneuver preparation. The late part of the year began with small unit 

training, reconnaissance of the maneuver areas for the next major department exercise, and exercising transportation 

and communications systems. These activities were followed by the repair and construction of roads leading to and 

on the peninsula of Bataan. The preparations finally culminated in the large-scale division and department maneuvers 

in January and February. The maneuvers occasionally included large surface squadrons from the Navy as well as 

amphibious invasion forces provided by the US Marine Corps. In 1933, the Philippine Division began to train in earnest 

to prepare for an invasion, which Army planners believed would come at the beaches of Lingayan. The January 1934 

maneuver was actually little more than a thorough reconnaissance of Bataan with particular emphasis on the Miraveles 

Mountains. This reconnaissance revealed the poor internal road net of the peninsula, and the 14th Engrs. and 23d F.A. 

were put to work improving the trails and roads. The 1935 maneuver was again held on Bataan. This exercise focused 

on determining the enemy avenues of approach and selecting defensive positions to block those approaches. The 1936 

maneuver came uncannily close to rehearsing what would occur 6 years later when the Japanese invaded. The 26th 

Cav., with the 23d F.A. in support, was sent to scout the Lingayan landing areas and report movements of the invasion 

force, while the Philippine Division concentrated near Fort Stotsenberg. As the enemy forced the cavalry back, the 

Philippine Division fought a delaying action, fell back onto Bataan to defend the Olongopo Road, and then centered 

its defense on the Miraveles Mountains where the exercise ended. The next change to the division’s structure came in 

1936 with the reorganization of the Q.M. Tn. into the 12th Q.M. Regt. Shortly before Pearl Harbor, the 31st Inf. was 

reassigned to the Philippine Division, and the 1st Bns. of the 43d Inf. and the 23d F.A. were activated. Interestingly, 

the 24th Inf. Brig. was still assigned as an inactive unit; therefore, the Philippine Division was the only R.A. infantry 

division that retained the “square” structure (at least on paper) on entry into World War II. Location of the division HQ 

on 7 December 1941 was Fort William McKinley, Philippine Islands.

PANAMA MOBILE FORCE 

HQ—Balboa, CZ, 1939–41 

The Panama Mobile Force was constituted and organized in the R.A. on 16 February 1940 and activated at Balboa, 

Panama Canal Zone. The organization of the Mobile Force was the culmination of a series of ideas and experiments 

on how to best defend the Panama Canal beginning with the organization of the Panama Canal Division in 1921. In 

1932, the division was inactivated and its elements integrated into the Atlantic and Pacific Sectors. Under the sector 

concept, all ground and coast artillery forces were integrated into those two commands to better coordinate efforts 

to repel an invasion from the sea. The sector concept was not entirely successful as the need for better coordination 

with air defense led to the integration of not only all antiaircraft units, but eventually, all coast defense units as well, 

into the Panama Separate Coast Artillery Brigade in October 1939. This left only the ground forces in the two sectors. 

A division-size “Mobile Force” to assume control of all ground units in the event of war had been provided for in 

mobilization plans since 1932 when the Panama Canal Division was inactivated. In February 1940, General Daniel 

Van Voorhis, the department commander, stating that units should train in peacetime as they will fight in war, ordered 

the activation of the Panama Mobile Force. As organized, the Panama Mobile Force was configured strikingly similar 

to the old Panama Canal Division. A significant difference was the provision for three infantry regiments for each 

brigade. However, as the new organization was tested in maneuvers in 1940–41, the tables of organization were 

288 
changed to drop the brigade-level HQ. Additionally, no more than four infantry regiments were ever assigned to the 

Mobile Force, even after World War II began. Like the Hawaiian and Philippine Divisions, the Panama Mobile Force 

was fortunate in that it was located on the terrain on which it would fight if ever the Canal Zone was ever invaded. The 

plan to defend the Canal Zone was to conduct a mobile defense in depth beginning at the beaches and not by preparing 

and holding static defense positions. The Atlantic side was considered the least likely invasion route because the few 

landing areas there were too small to allow the discharge of numerous forces simultaneously. The Pacific side was 

considered the primary route the enemy would take to seize the Canal. The basic plan called for the Mobile Force 

to conduct an economy of force role on the Atlantic side, while the units on the Pacific side would conduct a series 

of delaying actions and counterattacks until the enemy was destroyed by combined ground, air, and sea forces. The 

maneuvers conducted in 1940 and 1941 confirmed the validity of the reorganization of the Panama defenses and the 

Mobile Force plans for defense. However, the plan was never put to the real test. Location of the division HQ on 7 

December 1941 was Balboa, Panama Canal Zone.

PORTO RICAN DIVISION Organized Reserve Puerto Rico 

HQ—Not constituted. 

The Porto Rican Division was never constituted in the US Army, however, the War Department clearly contemplated 

its eventual constitution as evidenced by numerous references to it in the mobilization plans of the 1920s and in other 

documents. The genesis of this division was the World War I-era 94th Div., which was directed to be organized at Las 

Casas, San Juan, Puerto Rico, as a provisional division, but the 94th was never activated. Three of the regiments, the 

373d, 375th, and 375th Inf. Regts. were organized, however, and assigned to a provisional brigade at Las Casas. The 

373d and 374th Inf. Regts. were organized with Hispanic Puerto Ricans and the 375th Inf. with Negro Puerto Ricans 

during the summer of 1918. These three regiments were demobilized in January 1919 and were reconstituted in June 

289 
1921. Concurrently, the regiments were assigned to the 211th Inf. Brig., which would form the nucleus of the Porto 

Rican Division if it were ever reconstituted. To flesh out the 211th Brig.’s troop list, artillery, engineer, military police, 

and other support units were constituted and organized in Puerto Rico in the early 1920s. The brigade’s special troop 

units, normally assigned to a division, were assigned the numerical designation “105th.” This uniform designation 

also supports the notion that a division HQ for these Puerto Rican units was contemplated for eventual constitution. 

The wartime mission of this organization was to be the primary mobile force for the defense of Puerto Rico. By 1927, 

however, the Porto Rican Division, as well as the 211th Brig., was apparently determined by War Department planners 

to be excess to Army needs. That year, the 211th Inf. Brig. and most of its subordinate elements were demobilized and 

references to the “Porto Rican Division” in War Department documents ceased to appear.

Infantry Brigades
 

USASC photo, NA II 

Soldiers of the 29th Infantry display an array of infantry weapons at Fort Benning, GA, 1930. 

Infantry brigades provided command and control for assigned or attached infantry regiments and other 

elements attached for operations. Their mission was to plan, coordinate, and conduct operations to close 

with and destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver. 

Organization 

Infantry brigades, with one exception, were organized to consist of a headquarters (HQ), headquarters 

company (HQ Co.), and two infantry (Inf.) regiments (Regts.). The one exception was that of the 211th 

Infantry (Inf.) Brigade (Brig.) of Puerto Rico, which consisted of three regiments, a field artillery regiment, 

and a number of special troops as a separate brigade. New York’s 93d Inf. Brig. also had three regiments, 

but the third regiment, the all-black 369th Inf., was attached for command and administration purposes. 

The vast majority of Infantry Brigades in the interwar period were divisional brigades, but there were 

four separate brigades at various times. The organization of separate brigades mirrored that of the divisional 

brigades. Though all Regular Army (R.A.) brigades were assigned to divisions, only the even numbered 

brigades assigned to the 4th through 9th Divisions (Divs.) were in active service between 1921 and 1939. 

These brigades were reinforced with various divisional elements needed for adequate training and training 

support for Reserve Component units. These typically consisted of a field artillery battalion, tank platoon or 

engineer company, motor transportation company, and the division air service, though not every reinforced 

brigade was lucky enough to have all of these elements. By 1930, many of the elements of the reinforced

brigades either had been withdrawn from the division or were inactivated due to budget cuts or the need to 

free up personnel spaces for the activation of new air corps units. 

Though the odd-numbered brigades were not in active service after the fall of 1921, all were active 

as Regular Army Inactive (RAI) units at some point in the 1920s and 1930s. Though active as Reserve 

organizations, these brigades did not function as command and control HQ. They were typically used only 

as mobilization assignment units and rarely functioned as units in the inactive training period or during 

summer training. 

Many brigades in the overseas departments suffered some of the same cuts as their stateside counterparts. 

Of the six overseas brigades, three were inactive by 1932. Only the Hawaiian Division retained both brigades 

intact. The Panama Canal Division lost the 20th Brig. in 1924 and the 19th Brig. in 1932. The Philippine 

Division lost the 24th Brig. in 1930. 

There were 39 National Guard (N.G.) brigades in the interwar period, of which all but three were 

divisional brigades. The three separate brigades were all constituted and organized to provide several 

separate regiments a command and control HQ. The last of the three, the 92d Inf. Brig. of Puerto Rico, 

existed only long enough to be mobilized for service in World War II, then was disbanded a short time later. 

Fifty-five brigades were constituted in the Organized Reserve (O.R.), of which all but one were divisional 

brigades. The separate 211th Inf. Brig. was demobilized in 1927 when that brigade was determined to be 

excess to needs for the defense of Puerto Rico, which was already allotted two N.G. infantry regiments. 

However, that same year, the 42d Inf. was allotted to Puerto Rico as an RAI unit, and the 516th Inf. 

Battalion (Bn.) was transferred from New York the following year to replace the two regiments lost with 

the demobilization of the 211th Brig. Most of the divisional brigades functioned as units and more than a 

292 
few functioned as command and control HQ in the inactive training period. Those brigades were generally 

commanded by a Reserve senior colonel or brigadier general. Additionally, a few of these brigades were 

occasionally commanded by R.A. brigadier generals who exercised command over the brigades during 

command post exercises (CPXs) or other training exercises. 

Training 

The training of R.A. infantry brigades was conducted in a variety of venues in the interwar period. 

The venues were generally dictated by budgetary constraints. Though the desire of most commanders was 

to assemble active divisions and brigades at least once a year for collective maneuver training, this was 

not possible because of the lack of training dollars. As a result, infantry brigades were assembled in their 

entirety for training on the average of only twice every 3 years. This rate tended to improve in the 1930s and 

was always better for the overseas brigades than for the stateside units. Stateside R.A. divisional brigades 

generally trained as separate commands from their divisions, though in the 1930s, division-level or higher 

maneuvers became more commonplace. In years when money was available, the six reinforced brigades 

were assembled with all active brigades and division units, assigned Reserve officers, and often with other 

Active units within the corps area, for a “corps area maneuver.” Though the title sounded grandiose, the 

actual number of Soldiers trained in these maneuvers tended to be less than 5,000. Most years, however, 

these were simply brigade-level maneuvers. In those years when money was not available, commanders 

usually substituted CPXs in place of the maneuver. 

N.G. infantry brigade headquarters and headquarters companies (HHC) typically performed their drills 

during the inactive training period at their home armories one night a week or on the weekend depending 

on the planned training. The HQ and staff usually focused on staff skills while the various HQ Co. sections 

focused on support tasks. Occasionally N.G. brigade HQ participated in division or higher-level CPXs 

as part of their inactive training. Brigades assigned to single state divisions generally attended summer 

training at the same time as the rest of the division. Those brigades assigned to multistate commands usually 

attended camp within their home state. Several multistate divisions were able to assemble subordinate 

brigades from other states at a division camp in a few instances in the interwar years. Except for the armylevel maneuvers in the late 1930s and early 1940s, however, combined camps for multistate divisions and 

brigades were uncommon. 

Though most O.R. brigades functioned as units, their inactive training assemblies tended to be conducted 

with one of their subordinate regiments or with another HQ. Only occasionally did these brigades hold 

training periods that were conducted solely with the brigade’s assigned personnel. In a few instances, these 

were rather creative affairs. For example, Brig. Gen. Palmer E. Pierce conducted a weekend staff ride at 

Gettysburg in May 1927 as a way of professionally developing the staff of the 153d Inf. Brig. Most of these 

brigades functioned as actual command and control HQ during summer training camps if they participated 

in a division or corps area CPX. Usually, if a senior officer was not already assigned to command the 

brigade, the senior regimental commander temporarily filled in as commander for the camp. More often, 

the brigade’s personnel would attend the summer training attached to one of the brigade’s subordinate 

regiments.

defense of the Lingayan area of Luzon Island. Brigade commanders exercised actual command of the brigade only 

for short periods during the annual department maneuvers. Though usually lacking a full-time commander (many of 

the assigned commanders listed below were concurrently the regimental commanders of the 31st Inf.), the HQ Co. 

and brigade staff remained in an active status at Fort Santiago. However, the brigade’s staff officers were assigned 

additional duties within the Philippine Division or Philippine Department during periods when the brigade HQ was 

not functioning as such. Due to the lack of a general officer being assigned on a full-time basis, the HQ Co. actually 

functioned as the HQ Co. for the HQ, Philippine Department in Manila. With the relief of the 1st Bn., 15th Inf. and the 

31st Inf. from the Philippine Division on 26 June 1929, the brigade was redesignated a “Philippine Scout” organization

Troops of the 31st Infantry in battle positions, Shanghai, China, February 1932. 

The mission of infantry regiments was to plan, coordinate, and conduct operations to close with and 

destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver. 

Organization 

In the infantry, as with the other combat arms branches, the regiment was considered the base unit for 

combat, training, and administrative operations in the interwar period. The infantry regiment, therefore, 

was considered the base upon which the rest of the field Army was built. Coming out of World War I and 

throughout the interwar period, the US Army’s basic doctrine was that the infantry was the primary combat 

element and all other elements were organized and employed to support the infantry. Even so, the branch 

suffered as much, or more, from cuts in strength than any other branch in the Army. Of the 65 Regular 

Army (R.A.) infantry regiments authorized and active in 1921, 26 were inactivated or demobilized by the 

end of 1922. The Puerto Rican 42d Infantry was inactivated in 1927, and by 1938, 14 of the remaining 

40 active regiments (the 66th and 67th Infantry Regiments, both tank units, were created in 1932) had at 

least one battalion inactive. The prime reasons for these cuts were the Army budget and the expansion of 

the Air Corps. It was not until the rapid expansion of the Army between 1939 and 1941 that the various 

inactive R.A. infantry regiments were reactivated to populate the newly activated infantry and armored 

divisions. Only one regiment of this period, the Infantry School’s 29th Infantry, was fully organized with 

all subordinate elements at war strength.

Infantry regiment organization. 

Organizationally, the post-World War I infantry regiment was not significantly altered from its 

predecessor. The primary change came with the elimination of the infantry brigade’s machine gun 

battalions and the integration of those weapons into Companies D, H, and M, which became the machine 

gun companies of the infantry regiment. Additionally, each line company was reduced from four to three 

infantry platoons. Although there were minor changes to the infantry regiment table of organization during 

the interwar period, this organization remained largely intact up to World War II. 

By 1922, the vast majority of the R.A. infantry regiments, active and inactive, were assigned to the 

Army’s 12 infantry divisions. Only a few, the African-American 24th and 25th Infantry Regiments and the 

Puerto Rican 65th Infantry among them, remained separate regiments after 1922. The 31st Infantry was 

relieved from the Philippine Division in 1931 and became a separate regiment when the 44th Infantry was 

constituted and assigned in its place. Four new regiments, the 66th through 69th Infantry, all tank units, were 

organized or constituted in 1932 and 1933 and remained separate regiments under the General Headquarters 

Reserve (GHQR). The assignment of regiments to brigades remained remarkably constant in the interwar 

period, though for a number, divisional assignments changed in 1927 when the Army attempted a means 

to create a ready force of four divisions immediately available for field service. That plan was abandoned 

in 1933 and the regiments’ historic assignments to divisions were restored. Historic divisional assignments 

were affected once again in 1939 and 1940 when the R.A. infantry divisions each lost one of their regiments 

due to the adoption of the triangular table of organization and new armored divisions were created. 

Almost all of the inactive R.A. regiments were organized as RAI units in the interwar period. The vast 

majority of these regiments were functional organizations and many were among the most active Reserve 

units in the Army. Most of these regiments were affiliated with ROTC programs between 1928 and 1930, 

but many of those affiliations were discontinued by 1940. Most RAI units were commanded by R.A. officers 

352 
prior to 1933, and most of the commanders were the PMS&T of the affiliated ROTC unit. How involved 

these commanders were in the activities of their RAI commands is unclear, but at least in one case, the 32d 

Infantry (Inf.) at the University of California at Los Angeles, the PMS&T took that role very seriously and 

was directly involved with all affairs of the regiment. In October 1933, this practice was eliminated and the 

senior Reserve officer assigned to the regiment was appointed as the acting commander to provide those 

officers with practical command experience. In almost all cases, the acting commander was a lieutenant 

colonel or major, which left the colonel’s position open for a R.A. commander in the event of mobilization. 

In a few instances, a Reserve full colonel commanded these units, no doubt with the understanding that the 

officer would vacate the position in the event of mobilization. 

About 80 National Guard (N.G.) infantry regiments were fully or partially organized between 1921 and 

1939, though there were never that many organized at a single time. Several of these regiments underwent 

various redesignations during this period, and at least seven were originally reorganized after World War 

I with a state designation (i.e., 8th Inf., Illinois N.G.), which they retained, in most cases, up until 1940 or 

1941. 

The great majority of the Guard regiments were assigned to the 18 N.G. infantry divisions, but several 

were assigned to separate brigades and 12 were separate regiments under special allotment to the N.G. 

Three of the latter were African American regiments with lineages that extended back to units that served 

in World War I and before. Five of the separate organizations were located in overseas territories: two in 

Hawaii, two in Puerto Rico, and part of one, the 1st Battalion (Bn.), 297th Inf., was located in Alaska. 

There were about 150 infantry regiments constituted in the Organized Reserve (O.R.) at various times 

during the interwar period. Of these, all but 14 were organized at some point, though a significant number of 

the nondivisional regiments were inactivated in the late 1920s. Others were organized in the late 1930s. One 

hundred and eight of the regiments were assigned to the 27 O.R. infantry divisions. The remaining regiments were a mixture of units with specialized functions. Eight were light or medium tank regiments and 

the remaining 32 were “Colored” regiments that had mobilization missions as either special security units 

(for airfields, key industrial sites, military installations, etc.) or infantry training center demonstration and 

training regiments. Most of the latter regiments were to be organized upon mobilization with white officers 

and African-American enlisted personnel. However, six of these regiments, all in the Third Corps Area, had 

black commissioned personnel (as did the N.G.’s 369th, 372d, and 8th Illinois Regiments). 

A number of the R.A. and O.R. infantry regiments were actually tank organizations. In the case of the 

R.A., these units were either reorganized and redesignated as armored regiments in 1940 or disbanded. In 

the case of the O.R. regiments, none were activated for service in World War II, and all were disbanded 

sometime after Pearl Harbor (see chapter 11 for the early history, organization, and training of these units). 

Training 

As with all other units in the Army, the quality and frequency of training for R.A. infantry regiments 

was directly affected by the small Army budgets of the 1920s and 1930s. Given the lack of funding, infantry 

regiments, like most Army units, were able to go to the field, at best, for 2 to 3 weeks a year. Most of that 

time was usually spent in brigade, division, or corps area maneuvers in the summer or fall. Additionally, 

the diminutive unit budgets often precluded the use of supplies like blank ammunition and the conduct of 

coordinated live-fire exercises with artillery and air corps units. These types of limitations often made the 

training events rather canned, unimaginative, and bordering, in many respects, on the unrealistic. Still, 

given the resources at hand, the various training events conducted during the interwar years by regiments 

of all three components were generally about as good as could be expected. 

For most stateside R.A. regiments, there was a relatively standard pattern of annual training. Generally, 

the January to March period was used for sending soldiers to troop schools (driver training, chemical warfare training, armorer’s course, horseshoing and animal care classes, etc.) and other largely indoor training 

activities. The months of April and May would be used for squad and platoon training, physical conditioning 

353 
marches, and marksmanship training. In June, units would begin deploying to field sites to support the training of CMTC, ROTC, O.R., and N.G. camps. The training support for the civilian and Reserve Component 

camps would usually conclude in late August, but regiments would remain at field sites to participate in 

field maneuvers. The maneuvers would generally begin at the company or battalion level and, in building 

block fashion, progressively increase to the next higher level to the brigade or division level. On returning 

to garrison in mid- to late-October, the regiment would conduct post field recovery operations for a week 

or two, then spend the last 2 months of the year participating in the annual I.G. inspection, individual skills 

training, troops schools, individual and team sports, and, of course, holiday activities. This pattern varied 

slightly from Corps Area to Corps Area based on differences in weather, available training areas, Reserve 

Component training requirements, higher-level training events, and other considerations. 

The training cycle for the overseas regiments was not unlike that for the stateside regiments, though 

only those of the Hawaiian Division had any responsibility for supporting the training of a N.G. unit. 

There were no CMTC camps or O.R. units to support. The few Reserve officers located in each of the 

three overseas departments were simply attached directly to the units for mobilization assignment and 

training. The training conducted by the overseas regiments had other advantages over that of its US-based 

counterparts. Given that the units were stationed in areas most likely to be attacked first in a conflict, the 

training budgets for these units tended to be more substantial. Thus the overseas regiments were able to 

go to the field more frequently. The other advantage was that these units had actual war plans on which 

they based their training. Thus the sense of urgency and the added benefit of training on the terrain over 

which the units would be expected to fight gave the training a sense of realism often lacking in the notional 

training carried out by units in the states. These units also profited from the opportunities to train more often 

with the same artillery, air support, and logistical support units with which they would fight in wartime. 

N.G. infantry regiments followed a pattern not significantly different from R.A. regiments, though the 

pattern tended to change slightly during the interwar period. The most noticeable change was the timing of 

marksmanship training. With the push by Guard units to conduct ever larger and increasingly sophisticated 

maneuver training, units looked for ways to conduct marksmanship training outside the summer camp 

period to free up more time for maneuver. More and more Guard units thus found ways to conduct their 

weapons qualification training and firing during the inactive training period. Another training opportunity 

that added to many Guard units’ level of readiness was the numerous times that these organizations were 

called up to support state emergencies. A few of these regiments had units that had spent as much or more 

time on state emergency duties in the interwar period than they had at summer training camps even if the 

time for all 20 or so camps were added together. All or part of the majority of these regiments were called 

up to support a wide variety of operations in response to state emergencies. These included flood and tornado relief duties, support to law enforcement, and riot control, particularly for the many labor strikes of 

the period. Though these were not military operations per se, these events did give Guard units the chance 

to exercise military skills that were directly or indirectly applicable to combat. 

If the challenge of conducting quality training for R.A. and N.G. units in the interwar period was problematic, it was exponentially so for O.R. (and R.A. Inactive) regiments. In their favor, most O.R. infantry 

regiments were maintained at war strength in authorized officers. In fact, many far exceeded that strength if 

one counted the officers attached to those regiments for training. To their disadvantage, however, none ever 

achieved, indeed even approached, the 33 percent strength of enlisted personnel to which they were limited 

by law. Nor did these regiments possess much, if anything, in the way of equipment to support training in 

the inactive training period. In the early 1920s, many of these regiments were widely dispersed by company 

in many small communities in a similar fashion to N.G. regiments. Reserve commanders and their R.A. 

executive officers quickly realized that such dispersion made for very poor training opportunities. As a 

result, by the mid-1920s, dispersed O.R. infantry regiments began to concentrate organizationally in larger 

cities at the battalion and often regimental level. This concentration made for better training opportunities 

by assembling larger groups of officers (and the few assigned enlisted reservists) for unit training and other 

functions. This also fostered greater camaraderie and teamwork among the regiment’s personnel. This was 

354 
especially critical in those regiments in the far west, where distances made assembly and training a far more 

difficult prospect. Not surprisingly, the best trained and most cohesive Reserve regiments tended to be concentrated in large cities where members could meet and train frequently and effectively. 

Reserve infantry regiments conducted their training meetings in a variety of places. These included 

post office buildings, Federal buildings, chamber of commerce buildings, schools, ROTC buildings, R.A. 

installations, and N.G. armories among many others. Those lucky enough to meet at the latter two types 

of locality were particularly fortunate as local commanders often loaned the use of equipment or training 

facilities to enhance the reservists’ training experiences. The opportunity for O.R. units to conduct meaningful field training during the inactive training period was far more limited than for R.A. and N.G. units. 

Therefore, most training for O.R. infantry regiments from September to May was largely indoor and theoretical, though not totally devoid of hands-on and more practical training. 

Summer training camps brought the best variety of training opportunities for O.R. infantry regiments. 

The most common type of camp was the General Unit Training Camp (GUTC). This type of camp was 

often conducted with other regiments, but generally included no leadership opportunities with enlisted 

personnel. Most of the training consisted of normal infantry tasks, such as a battalion attack or defense, but 

with all enlisted personnel, enemy personnel, and most equipment merely simulated. Another type camp 

was the Citizens Military Training Camps. These camps gave the Reserve officers an opportunity to plan 

and perform the very type of training that they would be responsible for conducting upon mobilization. It 

was also an opportunity to exercise leadership skills that could only be practiced and honed when leading 

real troops. Regular Army Training Camps (R.A.T.C.) were typically performed with the Reserve officers 

shadowing their R.A. counterparts in the field on a training exercise for the first week. The second week the 

exercise would be conducted again, only with the reservists in actual command of the unit. A similar camp 

was conducted with N.G. units; however, the Guard officers never relinquished command to the reservists. 

The R.A.T.C. camps and major maneuvers were probably the best and most useful training experience for 

O.R. infantry regiments in the interwar period.

Infantry Battalions
 

Historical Annual, New Jersey National Guard, ANP 

Bayonet practice at the armory of the 1st Separate Infantry Battalion, 

New Jersey National Guard, about 1938. 

The mission of infantry battalions was to plan and conduct operations to close with and destroy the 

enemy by fire and maneuver. 

Organization and Training 

The separate infantry battalion was an outgrowth of the World War I experience. The planners of the War 

Plans Division foresaw a need for a number of these organizations for special security missions (for airfields, 

key industrial sites, military installations, etc.) or for infantry training center support units. Organizationally, 

the separate infantry battalion was not appreciably different that those of their counterparts in an infantry 

regiment. Of these battalions, 51 were originally constituted in the Organized Reserve (O.R.) in 1923 and 

almost all were organized by 1925. Generally, these battalions tended to be geographically dispersed in state 

areas where population densities were light. Thus, few of these organizations appeared to have been functional 

units during the inactive training period and only a handful attended a summer camp as a unit. In 1928, 

given a revised analysis of manpower requirements for mobilization plans, all but two of these battalions 

519 
 

were withdrawn from the O.R. and demobilized. The two that remained, the 516th and 549th Inf. Bns., 

remained allotted to Puerto Rico and Alaska, respectively. The requirements for the withdrawn battalions 

were concurrently reduced to 37 and transferred to the Regular Army (R.A.) as “Colored” battalions. These 

battalions were not to be organized in peacetime, but only in the event of a national emergency. Inexplicably, 

several of them were organized in the Third Corps Area in 1936 and then inactivated about 6 months later. 

None of these battalions, however, were organized for service in World War II.

Tank Organizations

Reserve officers from Illinois and Wisconsin observe maneuvers of the 6th Tank Company 

at the Peoria Tank Training Center, IL, circa 1932. 

The mission of tank organizations was to support the infantry in operations to close with and destroy 

the enemy by fire and maneuver. Specifically, the role of tanks was to “facilitate the uninterrupted advance 

of the infantry in the attack.” 

Organization 

After much discussion and debate within the Army about the role and future of what was then known as 

the Tank Corps, the National Defense Act of 1920 assigned the control of tank organizations to the Infantry 

branch. This move, and the cavalry’s corresponding reluctance to embrace the new weapon, directly affected 

the doctrinal employment and organizational development of tank units in the interwar period. 

The Regular Army (R.A.) tank units of 1921 were directly related lineally to several of the tank 

organizations of World War I. That year, the 1st Tank Group and four battalions (one special, two light, one 

heavy) were organized from existing units at Camp Meade, MD. Like the rest of the Army, however, the 

group was soon forced to inactivate units as the Army drew down in strength due to budget reductions. Still, 

the War Plans Division constituted an additional heavy tank battalion in 1923 bringing to five the number 

of battalions in the group. Three of these battalions remained active in the 1920s and two were organized in 

1926 as Regular Army Inactive (RAI) units in Maryland.

Infantry regiment organizations. 

540 
Also in 1921, the Army constituted 4 tank group headquarters and 21 battalions in the Organized 

Reserve (O.R.). This contingent was expanded by three battalions in 1924 and then reduced by three in 

1928 when the 301st, 306th, and 314th Tank Battalions were disbanded. At about the same time, three new 

tank group headquarters were constituted. All of these units were initiated in the 1920s. 

In 1930, all of the groups and battalions of both components were reorganized and redesignated as 

tank regiments. These designations gave way 2 years later when the units were all redesignated as infantry 

regiments with the parenthetical “light tanks,” “medium tanks,” or “heavy tanks” following the unit 

designation (see Chapter 9, Infantry Regiments, for information on these units after 1932). 

A special tank-oriented organization during this period was the experimental mechanized force, 

two of which were organized provisionally: one in 1928 and another in 1930. The creation of these two 

organizations was a direct result of a similar effort by the British Army to experiment with developing 

a force that possessed both power and speed. These two essentially brigade-strength organizations were 

assembled from parts and pieces of various existing tank and motorized organizations from the Second and 

Third Corps Areas for the purpose of testing new mobile warfare concepts and equipment. The experiments 

showed enough promise that elements of the second force were reorganized into the provisional Mechanized 

Cavalry Regiment and ordered to reorganize at Camp Knox, KY, to assist in forming the new 7th Cavalry 

Brigade (Mechanized). This brigade would, in turn, morph into the 1st Armored Division in 1940. 

Training 

Training opportunities for R.A. tank organizations was in some respects better than for other infantry 

organizations. While many infantry regiments never had the luxury of training with a tank unit in the 

interwar period, every tank unit was able to train with the infantry. Thus, on those occasions when tank units 

took to the field, they were able to conduct training that was more realistic. Of course, the opportunities 

for training were limited by the cost of repair parts and fuel for the tanks themselves. Additionally, like 

most R.A. units during this period, tank organizations supported the training of most of the National Guard 

(N.G.) and O.R. tank units scattered about the country. 

The two RAI tank battalions, the 18th and 19th Battalions, were extremely lucky in that they were 

located at Camp George G. Meade, MD, the Army’s tank center and school, and home to the 1st Tank 

Group. The training activities for these battalions usually included direct integration with the units of the 

1st Tank Group or direct involvement of group personnel and equipment in the reservists’ training events. 

Most other Reserve tank units were not so lucky, but a few were close. Several of the tank battalions 

in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut were able to occasionally train with the 1st Division’s 1st 

Tank Company at Miller Field, NY, during the inactive training period. This same type of arrangement 

was available to the tank battalions of Illinois with the 6th Tank Company at Jefferson Barracks, MO. 

Occasionally, the O.R. tank battalions in Pennsylvania were able to train on the tanks of the 28th Tank 

Company in Norristown. Most O.R. tank groups and battalions, however, were geographically dispersed 

and were not functional units during the inactive training period. Most of their personnel were spread out 

over long distances and were usually forced to attend meetings with other units or participate in local troop 

schools and generic training activities. 

Summer training camps provided the most realistic training opportunities for O.R. tank units. Here 

again, R.A. and, to a lesser extent, N.G. tank organizations supported the training of the Reserve tank units. 

In most instances, these camps were conducted at R.A. training areas with the reservists usually attending 

as individuals rather than as organized units. The 9th Tank Group, however, often conducted joint training 

with the 6th Tank Company at the Sixth Corps Area Tank Training Center in Peoria, IL. This grandiose 

sounding installation was actually the Caterpillar Company’s proving grounds for testing new bulldozer and 

tractor designs. In the event of war, the company was apparently amenable to turning over the area to the 

Army for training tank units, but it was a plan that was never implemented for World War II.

Organized provisionally on 1 July 1928 at Fort Leonard Wood, MD (formerly Camp George G. Meade, MD), for 

the purpose of providing a HQ for the US Army’s first mechanized force. Its mission was to conduct experiments in 

armored warfare and test experimental armored equipment. The attached subordinate units came under the control 

of the Mechanized Force for specific training events related to the testing of equipment or tactics. Otherwise, for 

mobilization purposes, the units belonged to other major HQ. Conducted a series of road marches through Maryland 

and Pennsylvania in July–September 1928. The Experimental Mechanized Force was discontinued on 1 October 1928 

after the initial testing was completed and attached units returned to their parent headquarters.

belonged to other major HQ. Conducted a 600-mile road march from Fort Eustis to Fort Bragg and back, from 12 to 

31 May 1931. The Experimental Mechanized Force was directed to be discontinued by the Chief of Staff of the Army, 

Gen. Douglas MacArthur, and was broken up on 31 October 1931. Most attached units were returned to their parent 

HQ; however, some elements of the force were transferred to Camp Knox, KY, late that fall to assist in forming the 

new 7th Cav. Brig. (Mecz.).
