75th Training Division

U.S. Army

The 75th Training Division was first constituted on 24 December 1942 and activated on 15 April 1943 at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. During World War II, the division participated in major European campaigns, including the Battle of the Bulge and the Rhineland and Central Europe operations. Following the war, the 75th was inactivated, but was later reactivated in the Army Reserve with a new mission focused on training support and readiness. Today, the 75th Training Command (formerly Division) provides vital training, exercise planning, and operational support to Army Reserve and National Guard units, ensuring their preparedness for global missions.
