The 100th Training Division Combat Service ID Badge is a metal facsimile of the color version of its Shoulder Sleeve Insignia, or unit patch, that was originally approved for the 100th Division on 29 May 1923. In the nonsubdued versions of the patch, all that can be seen is the Arabic numeral “100” on a shield, but the color afforded by the CSIB allows the viewer to see the colors blue, white, and yellow. Blue is the color of Infantry; the white portion of the numbers reflects purity and honor, and the yellow half represents nobility and valor.
Since the First Gulf War, the Division and its "Soldiers Of The Century" have been tasked with a variety of training roles. In the early 1990s, it was assigned Armor training at Fort Knox, and in 1995 its scope was expanded to include Army Reserve schools while focusing on initial entry training. In 2006, it was redesignated as the 100th Division (Operational Support) and was given the job to “Train ‘Em Tough” in four MOS (Military Intelligence, Signal Corps, Civil Affairs/Psychological Operations, Health Services) with a focus on NCO education. As the 100th Training Division (Leadership Development), it commands two organizations, the 83rd United States Army Reserve Readiness Training Command (NCO training) and the 97th Brigade (Command and General Staff Officer Course).
