The Seventy-Second Infantry Division was a unit of the United States Army that served during World War II. Activated in 1943, it was primarily involved in training and preparing soldiers for combat. The division did not see extensive action in the European theater but contributed to various support roles. After the war, the division was inactivated in 1945. Its legacy continues through the soldiers who trained within its ranks, many of whom went on to serve in other divisions and campaigns. The division is remembered for its role in the broader efforts of the U.S. Army during the conflict.
