For five decades, from the 1950’s to beyond 2000, the 84th Division was headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on a former air defense Nike missile site and grounds of a County House of Correction which later became a U. S. Army Disciplinary Barracks also housing German prisoners of war during World War II. The division had subordinate units and soldiers throughout the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Iowa, and Indiana. This link to Wisconsin and Milwaukee has forged a bond among those who have served. Missions include providing basic combat training and infantry one station unit training to new soldiers and officer training to ROTC cadets. The division personnel also train active and reserve-component servicemembers in combat-service, combat-service-support, health services and professional-development courses.
