Note: There are more than 150,000 documents, images, and pages on this 80th Division site. Many of the Morning Reports, General Orders, Unit Histories, and Miscellaneous Reports are scanned as PDFs. Some of these reports are difficult to read. Google indexers can't convert many into searchable text. Your results will not pick up every Report that is on the site.

This site is dedicated to the thousands of men and women who fought with the 80th Division throughout the years (World War I, World War II, Post WWII, and the Global War on Terror). May we never forget them or the reasons for which they fought and died for our country.

God Bless America!

80th Division / Training Command Honor
We are raising funds for the 80th Division to install a memorial plaque at the National Museum of the Army. This plaque will memorialize our soldiers from World War I up to and including the War on Terror. Help us keep the memories of these heroes alive.

WE REACHED OUR GOAL OF $5,000.
Thank you to all who supported this memorial plaque.

80th Anniversary Celebrations

2024 marks the 80th anniversary of the beginning of Europe's liberation. Many communities are celebrating this commemorative anniversary. We'll post those events as they become available to us.

  • 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Buchenwald Concentration Camp
    The 80th Infantry Division played a significant role in the liberation of Buchenwald. Johannes Frey, Event Coordinator, sent the following email and Preliminary Program:

    The main commemoration day will be Sunday, April 6, 2025. The Ceremonial Act will be held at 10:00 AM in the Weimarhalle (by invitation only, registration required). Simultaneous interpretation will be provided in English, French, Hebrew, Polish, and Ukrainian or Russian.

    At 3:00 PM, there will be a public Wreath-laying Ceremony at the Former Roll Call Square, organized by the Foundation and the International Committee Buchenwald-Dora and Commandos. This ceremony will also have simultaneous interpretation in the aforementioned languages. Following this, there will be four additional commemorative ceremonies at different locations within the memorial site. Please consult the attached preliminary program for Sunday, April 6, 2025, for further details.

    If you or any 80th Division Veterans Association members wish to attend the Ceremonial Act in the Weimarhalle, please contact me for registration details. I hope this information will help with your announcement, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

    Best regards,
