81st RSC

The 81st Readiness Division (formerly 81st Regional Support Command, or 81st RSC) traces its origins to the 81st Infantry Division, famously known as the "Wildcat Division," which was formed during World War I in 1917. The division saw combat in both World War I and World War II, earning distinction in the Pacific Theater, particularly during the liberation of the Palau Islands. After the wars, the unit transitioned to a support role within the U.S. Army Reserve, eventually becoming the 81st RSC. Today, the 81st Readiness Division provides base operations, logistical support, and training readiness for Army Reserve units across the southeastern United States.
