HHC 8th Infantry Division

Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC), 8th Infantry Division, was activated during World War I and saw intermittent service before gaining prominence in World War II, participating in campaigns across France and Germany. Reactivated during the Cold War, the division was stationed in West Germany as a key component of NATO's defense against the Soviet threat. Throughout the Cold War, HHC provided command and control for the division’s combat and support units, ensuring readiness and coordination for both training and potential wartime operations. The 8th Infantry Division was inactivated in 1992 following the end of the Cold War and subsequent restructuring of U.S. Army forces in Europe.
