The 10th Division was organized at Camp Funston beginning in August 1918, shortly after the 89th Division completed its training and departed. Major General Leonard Wood, who had been the commander of the 89th during its organization and training, was assigned to command the 10th.

The division's task organization included 20th, 41st, 69th, and 70th Infantry regiments, the 28th, 29th, and 30th Field Artillery Regiments, and several support units. == Subordinate Units ==
