399th Army Band

The 399th Army Band was originally constituted in 1944 as the 399th Army Service Forces Band and activated at Fort Benning, Georgia. During World War II, the unit provided musical support to boost troop morale and participated in various ceremonies and events. After the war, the band was inactivated and later reactivated, eventually being assigned to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Today, the 399th Army Band continues its mission by performing at military and civic functions, representing the U.S. Army through music and fostering esprit de corps among soldiers and the community.
