The 99th Infantry Division was formed in 1942 and deployed overseas in 1944. The "Checkerboard" or "Battle Babies" division landed at the French port of Le Havre and proceeded northeast to Belgium. During the heavy fighting in the Battle of the Bulge, the unit suffered many casualties, yet tenaciously held its defensive position. In March 1945, the 99th advanced into the Rhineland, crossing the Rhine River at Remagen on March 11. After fighting in the Ruhr area, the unit moved southward into Bavaria, where it was located at the end of the war.

Sie spielte eine strategische Rolle während der Ardennenoffensive, als es den unerfahrenen Truppen gelang, den nördlichen Bereich des deutschen Angriffsabschnitts aufzuhalten und so hier ein Vordringen nach Belgien hinein zu verhindern. Seit der Außerdienststellung im Jahre 1945 gehört sie zur „United States Army Reserve“ (inaktiv). (de)
