4074th Army Reception Station

The **4074th Army Reception Station** was a United States Army unit primarily responsible for the initial processing and orientation of new recruits entering military service. Activated during the mid-20th century, the station played a crucial role in receiving, screening, and assigning soldiers to training units or specific military occupational specialties. These reception stations were especially vital during periods of large-scale mobilization, such as the Korean War and Vietnam War, ensuring that the Army could efficiently manage the influx of personnel. The 4074th's operations contributed significantly to the readiness and organization of the Army during its active years before being inactivated as military processing was consolidated and modernized.
