75th Training Division

• World War II Origins: The 75th Division was activated on April 15, 1943, at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, specifically for service in World War II. • Combat in Europe: The 75th saw action in three major European campaigns: the Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge), Rhineland, and Central Europe, earning a distinguished combat record. • Battle of the Bulge: The division played a significant role in the Battle of the Bulge, helping to repel the German offensive in late 1944 and early 1945. • Nickname: The 75th Division is often called the "Diaper Division" because many of its soldiers were young and inexperienced when first deployed overseas. • Reactivation as a Training Division: After World War II, the 75th was inactivated but later reactivated in the United States Army Reserve as the 75th Training Division in 1952. • Modern Training Role: The 75th Training Command, as it is now known, provides mission command and training support to Army Reserve and National Guard units preparing for deployment. • Headquarters: The 75th Training Command is headquartered in Houston, Texas, serving as a hub for reserve training activities in the region. • Distinctive Unit Insignia: The division's insignia features a silver 75 in a red circle, symbolizing unity and the division’s numerical designation. • Support in Recent Conflicts: Members of the 75th have supported operations in Iraq and Afghanistan by training and preparing deploying units and individuals. • Legacy of Excellence: The 75th continues its tradition of excellence by adapting to modern training needs and leveraging technology to enhance Army readiness.
