The history of the U.S. Army Reserve in Europe can be traced to 1948 when a training program was established for Reservists by the Office of Plans. Operations, and Training, European Command. The European Command was the forerunner of USAREUR. The 7th Mission Support Command traces its history back to 1956, when the first U.S. Army Reserve units, four Army Reserve Schools, were established in Europe. For more than 30 years, U.S. Reserve Soldiers in Europe served under various structures until the 7th ARCOM activated provisionally in January 1986. The 7th ARCOM was designated the 7th Civil Support Command prior to its official activation in September 2009. In 2015, the 7th Civil Support Command was re-designated to the 7th Mission Support Command. The command has nearly 1,000 Soldiers assigned to 22 reserve units, stationed throughout Germany and in Vicenza, Italy.
