The initial activation of the 95th Division was begun at Camp Sherman, Ohio, September 5,1918. The activation order directed the Division’s composition to include the following major units: the 189th Infantry Brigade, the 190th Infantry Brigade, the 170th Field Artillery Brigade, the 358th Machine Gun Battalion, the 320th Engineer Battalion, the 620th Field Signal Battalion and the 95th Division Trains. The organization and training of all units except the 320th Engineer Battalion and the 95th Division Trains was fully under way at the time of the Armistice.
Brig. Gen. Mathew C. Smith, commander of the Division during it’s brief World War I history, received orders early in December, 1918, to demobilize the Division, and this demobilization was completed December 21, all officers and men being discharged or transferred.
From this date to the Division’s activation during the Second World War, the unit existed as an organized reserve division with headquarters in Oklahoma City.
