context_page_description: The 94th Division was a unit of the United States Army in World War I, and of the Organized Reserve Corps in 1921 until 1942.
  The 94th Infantry Division was a unit of the United States Army in World War II, and of the United States Army Reserve from 1956 until 1963. It continued in the Army Reserve as the 94th Command Headquarters from 1963 until the Army's realignment of reserve component combat arms into the Army National Guard in 1967.
  The 94th Army Reserve Command was a regional command and control headquarters over most United States Army Reserve units throughout the six New England states of Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. For forty years, beginning in the late 1960s, the United States Army Reserve was divided up into a varying number of regional, branch-immaterial commands. Originally designated "army reserve commands", several were disbanded in and around 1995, while the remainder were redesignated "regional support commands" at that time and re-dubbed "regional readiness commands" in 2001. In addition to the RRCs, several mission-oriented commands were established, including such as training divisions and engineer commands.
context_section_description: In 1921 the 94th Division was reconstituted as an element of the Organized Reserve ("OR") and nicknamed the "Pilgrim Division" in reference to the rich cultural history of the state of Massachusetts to which it was assigned. The headquarters was organized in November 1921. A shoulder sleeve insignia featuring a Native American with bow and arrow was authorized on 21 July 1922. This design was superseded 6 September 1923 by one depicting the black silhouette of a Puritan carrying a blunderbuss on his shoulder, on a gray circle (the wording of the new design's description was amended on 22 December of the same year).
  Like the other OR divisions, the 94th was an authorized only a cadre organisation of officers and men; even then, the OR units were perpetually under-strength and received little equipment or funds with which to train.
