The Fourth United States Army was activated in 1932. The mission at that activation was to be a training army which was for defense of the Pacific coast. The headquarters of the Fourth Army were at the Presidio of San Francisco. Some past commanders were:
* George S. Simonds
* John L. DeWitt
* John P. Lucas
* Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright IV
* William M. Hoge
During the 1960's, the Fourth Army operated "Tigerland," an infantry training school at Louisiana's Fort Polk to prepare new recruits for infantry combat in Vietnam. In July 1971, the Fourth Army was disbanded and consolidated with Fifth United States Army at Fort Sam Houston.
