The 75th Infantry Division was a division of the United States Army in World War II. It was also active from 1952 to 1957 as a combat division of the US Army Organized Reserves. In 1993, the division was reactivated as the 75th Division (Training Support) in the Army Reserve to train other Army Reserve and National Guard units deploying overseas in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan). In 2000, 2nd Brigade, 75th Division (Mission Command Training) provided training support and mobilization assistance for a client base composed of 298 Priority and 643 Traditional units throughout the US Army Reserve and Army National Guard. First US Army's training mission expanded on 16 January 2006 to include training, readiness oversight and mobilization for US Army Reserve and National Guard units throughout the continental United States and two US territories and the subordinate units of the 2nd Brigade, 75th Division were then reassigned to the first US Army. 2nd Brigade, 75th Division remained active, reorienting along with the rest of the Division to the Mission Command Training role and the Brigade was subsequently relocated to Fort Dix, New Jersey.
