The 108th Division got its start as part of an elaborate
deception prior to Operation Overlord, the D-Day Invasion of France in World War II. The Division was created on paper and assigned to the First United States Army Group under the command of General George Patton. We were the original Institutional Training (IT) Division and remain one of seven training divisions for the Army, Army Reserve and National Guard.
