History
In 1922, Fourth Army was organized as a unit of the Organized Reserves in New York City.[1] It was allotted to the Regular Army as an inactive unit on 9 August 1932.[1] It was activated 1 October 1933 and headquartered at the Presidio of San Francisco, California.[2] In January 1944, Fourth Army moved its headquarters to Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas.[2] It was redesignated Fourth United States Army on 1 January 1957.[1]
Fourth Army remained in the Continental United States during World War II, largely responsible for the defense of the West Coast and training tactical units to operate efficiently in combat.[2] During the 1960s, Fourth Army operated "Tigerland", an infantry training school at Louisiana's Fort Polk that prepared recruits for infantry combat in Vietnam.[3] In July 1971, Fourth Army was consolidated with Fifth United States Army at Fort Sam Houston.[4]
Between 1984 and 1991, Fourth Army was based at Fort Sheridan, Illinois.[2] Lieutenant General James R. Hall served as the last commanding general, holding the position from 1989 until Fourth Army was inactivated in 1991.[2]
