Editing Fort Riley (section)

===Korean War===
In the aftermath of World War II, the fort experienced a period of transition. The Cavalry School ceased operation in November 1946, and the last tactical horse unit inactivated the following March. Replacing the Cavalry School was the Ground General School, which trained newly commissioned officers in basic military subjects. An officer's candidate course was conducted along with training officers and enlisted men in intelligence techniques and methods.<ref name="History" /> The [[10th Mountain Division]] was activated July 1, 1948, at Fort Riley, Kansas.<ref name="Tenth Mountain History">{{cite web |title=10th Mountain Division (LI) |url=https://home.army.mil/drum/units-tenants/10th-mountain-division-li |website=U.S. Army |access-date=September 1, 2024 |archive-date=September 2, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240902043753/https://home.army.mil/drum/units-tenants/10th-mountain-division-li |url-status=live }}</ref> The 16-week basic military program conducted by this division prepared soldiers for infantry combat and duty with other infantry units.<ref name="History" />

The invasion of South Korea by North Korean forces in June 1950 once again brought attention to Fort Riley as an important training facility. Over the next few years, recruits from all over the United States came to Fort Riley and received basic training. During the conflict, units from the Ohio National Guard also stationed the [[37th Infantry Division (United States)|37th Infantry Division]] at the fort. While they were not sent overseas, their presence was a continuing reinforcement of the fort's importance as a training post.<ref name="History" />
