HQ 5th Army

Headquarters, 5th Army (HQ 5th Army) was activated by the United States Army on January 5, 1943, during World War II. Under the command of Lieutenant General Mark W. Clark, the unit played a pivotal role in the Italian Campaign, including the landings at Salerno and the battles for Monte Cassino and Rome. After World War II, HQ 5th Army was responsible for various training and administrative missions in the United States. Today, the legacy of the 5th Army continues as it serves as U.S. Army North, focusing on homeland defense and civil support operations.
