Source-derived summary

The 94th Training Division (Force Sustainment) is a unit of the United States Army Reserve, charged with providing sustainment training throughout the United States. The division is based at Fort Lee, Virginia and is subordinate to the 80th Training Command. The division has subordinate brigades that perform military occupational specialty (MOS) reclassification training. The division has brigades in the Continental United States.

The division traces its history to the activation of the 94th Division in 1918, which was disbanded with the close of World War I, but reformed in the Organized Reserve from 1921 until 1942. It fought in World War II, was reformed in the now-United States Army Reserve in 1956, and remained an infantry division until 1963. In 1963 it was reduced to the 94th Command Headquarters (Divisional) until the Army's realignment of reserve component combat arms into the Army National Guard in 1967. From 1968 to 1995 it supervised smaller Army Reserve units as an Army Reserve Command (ARCOM). In 1995 it became a Regional Support Command and in 2003 a Regional Readiness Command. It was then inactivated, but reformed as a training division in August 2009.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “active United States Army formation” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4032754. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1918, 1921, 1942 and 1956.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
