CENTER OF MILITARY HISTORY, UNITED STATES ARMY, WASHINGTON, D. C., 20002 1989

An all-WAC basic training battalion, largely the work of Major Messer, was activated on 1 September 1972. Titled the 1st WAC Basic Training Battalion, the unit was part of the 80th Division (Training), USAR, with headquarters in Richmond, Virginia. The WAC battalion, stationed in Alexandria, near Washington, D.C., conducted the balance of basic training required for men and women who completed the abbreviated CASP basic training program at Fort McClellan. After the WAC was disestablished in 1978, the battalion was deactivated (16 September 1978) and its functions were transferred to 1st Bn, 320th Regiment, 80th Division (Training). Note 96 |
