30th Replacement Depot

The 30th Replacement Depot was a U.S. Army unit active during World War II, tasked with receiving, processing, and assigning replacement personnel to frontline units in the European Theater of Operations. Established in 1944, the depot played a crucial role following the D-Day landings, ensuring that combat divisions received the necessary reinforcements to maintain their fighting strength. Operating primarily in France, the 30th Replacement Depot handled thousands of soldiers, managing their records, health checks, and re-equipment before dispatching them to various combat units. The depot's efficient operations were vital in sustaining Allied offensives across Western Europe until the end of the war.
