On Sep 16 1943, the Division moved for the Third Army #4 Louisiana Maneuvers and two months later, on Nov 19 1943, the 99th Infantry Division moved to Camp Maxey, Texas then staged at Camp Myles Standish Massachusetts from Sep 13 1944 until departed Boston Port of Embarkation for England and arrived there on Oct 10 1944.
