13th Division (United States)

The 13th Division was a division of the United States Army during World War I and later the Cold War. It was constituted on August 13, 1917, and organized at Camp Funston, Kansas. The division was composed primarily of soldiers from Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, and Utah.

The 13th Division never saw combat in World War I. It arrived in France in June 1918, but was used primarily for training and supply duties. Elements of the division were later assigned as replacement troops for other divisions already engaged in combat. The division was demobilized in February 1919 at Camp Funston.

The 13th Division was reactivated during the Cold War as a training division. Its mission was to train reserve component soldiers. The division was later inactivated. Specific details regarding its Cold War service are scarce in publicly accessible historical records. Further research in official military archives would be required for a comprehensive account of this period.
