Established in 2006, DIVWEST has nine brigades with 51
subordinate battalions. Since 2009, DIVWEST headquarters home has been at Ft Hood, Texas,
to best consolidate and maximize training operations.
DIVWEST is a multi-component organization that epitomizes the "One
Army" concept: Army Reserve, National Guard and Active Army
Soldiers working together, serving a nation at war.
DIVWEST leaders, trainers and Soldiers plan and conduct
battle-focused, tough, realistic training so combatant
commanders receive equipped and ready units, troops and leaders.
During training, Soldiers are repeatedly exposed to realistic
situations until they can intuitively make the right decisions
without hesitation.
DIVWEST Soldiers prepare and train not only Soldiers, but also
members of the US Air Force and US Navy so they are highly
motivated and ready to perform important missions around the
world.
