Sommaire

Guerre de sécession

La division est issue de la réorganisation et de la dissolution du Department of the West le 9 novembre 1861, après que Abraham Lincoln ait limogé John C. Frémont pour n'avoir pas suivi ses ordres d'émancipation des esclaves du Missouri et d'imposition de la loi martiale à cet État. David Hunter fut brièvement le dernier commandant du Department of the West.

Il comprenait les États du Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois et Kentucky à l'ouest de la rivière Cumberland et plus tard le Kansas. Son premier général fut Henry Wager Halleck.

Guerres indiennes

En 1865, à la fin de la Guerre de sécession, il fut renommé Division of Missouri (bien que l'on continua à l'appeler couramment Department of the Missouri). Son quartier général se trouvait à Fort Leavenworth au Kansas. La Division of Missouri fut restaurée en 1866 lorsque les Guerres indiennes débutèrent et il allait superviser tous les fameux incidents et batailles de cette guerre, y compris la fin tragique du général Custer. Ses composants évoluèrent au cours de diverses réorganisations qui concernèrent:
