The 88th Reserve Regional Support Command
The 88th U.S. Army Reserve Regional Support Command (88th RSC) was established in 1996 at Fort Snelling, St. Paul, Minn. as the command/control and support headquarters for all Army Reserve units in North Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio.
The majority of the Total Army medical, area/corps support, transportation, quartermaster, signal, engineer, maintenance, military police, public affairs and port operations units reside in the Army Reserve. In peacetime, unit members train for mobilization. They also participate in community projects and disaster relief operations in the communities where they live and work.
The history of the 88th begins with the 88th Infantry Division. The division was organized on August 25, 1917 at Camp Dodge, Iowa. In August 1918, the division arrived in France. During World War I, the men of the "Cloverleaf Division," as they were called, fought with distinction in the Alsace campaign. The division returned to Camp Dodge and was demobilized on June 10, 1919. Two years later, it was reconstituted in the organized reserves at Minneapolis, Minn.
In July 1942, the 88th Infantry Division was ordered to active service at Camp Gruber, Okla. It went overseas in December 1943, and fought gallantly in the North Apennines, Po Valley and Rome-Arno campaigns. The 88th Infantry Division arrived at Casablanca, French Morocco, 15 December 1943, and moved to Magenta, Algeria, on the 28th for intensive training. It arrived at Naples, Italy, 6 February 1944, and concentrated for combat training. An advance element went into the line before Cassino, 27 February, and the entire unit relieved British elements along the Garigliano River in the Minturno area, 5 March. A period of defensive patrols and training followed. On 11 May, the 88th drove north to take Spigno, Mount Civita, Itri, Fondi, and Roccagorga, reached Anzio, 29 May, and pursued the enemy into Rome, 4 June, after a stiff engagement on the outskirts of the city. An element of the 88th is credited with being first to enter the Eternal City. After continuing across the Tiber to Bassanelio the 88th retired for rest and training, 11 June. The Division went into defensive positions near Pomerance, 5 July, and launched an attack toward Volterra on the 8th, taking the town the next day. Laiatico fell on the 11th, Villamagna on the 13th, and the Arno River was crossed on the 20th although the enemy resisted bitterly. After a period of rest and training, the Division opened its assault on the Gothic Line, 21 September 1944, and advanced rapidly along the FirenzuolaImola road, taking Mount Battaglia on the 28th. The enemy counterattacked savagely and heavy fighting continued on the line toward the Po Valley. The strategic positions of Mount Grande and Farnetto were taken, 20 and 22 October. From 26 October 1944 to 12 January 1945, the 88th entered a period of defensive patrolling in the Mount Grande-Mount Cerrere sector and the Mount Fano area. From 24 January to 2 March 1945, the Division defended the LoianoLivergnano area and after a brief rest returned to the front. The drive to the Po Valley began on 15 April. Monterumici fell on the 17th after an intense barrage and the Po River was crossed, 24 April, as the 88th pursued the enemy toward the Alps. The cities of Verona and Vicenza were captured on the 25th and 28th and the Brenta River was crossed, 30 April. The 88th was driving through the Dolomite Alps toward Innsbruck, Austria, when the hostilities ended on 2 May 1945.
From the date of its landing in Naples until the end of hostilities, the 88th Infantry Division was one of the most battle-tested divisions, earning the nickname "Blue Devils" from the fearful Germans. The 88th remained in Italy as part of the Trieste Occupation Forces. It was inactivated at Leghorn, Italy, in October 1947. The 88th RSC now proudly bears the numeric designation and wears the shoulder insignia of this historic combat division.
