The 78th Division (TS), nicknamed the "Lightning Division" or "Jersey Lightning", is the lineal descendant of the 78th Division of World War I and the 78th Infantry Division of World War II. The current 78th Division (TS) is responsible for conducting simulations exercises and field training for US Army Reserve and Army National Guard units across 14 states from North Carolina to the Canada–US border. </p><p>In the immediate aftermath of the <a href="/wiki/September_11_attacks" title="September 11 attacks">September 11th terrorist attacks</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Federal_Emergency_Management_Agency" title="Federal Emergency Management Agency">Federal Emergency Management Agency</a> created a temporary headquarters at the facility.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As of October 2009, the Sergeant Joyce Kilmer Reserve Center was closed as per the recommendation of the <a href="/wiki/Base_Realignment_and_Closure,_2005" class="mw-redirect" title="Base Realignment and Closure, 2005">Base Realignment and Closure, 2005</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The last tenant units relocated to <a href="/wiki/Fort_Dix" title="Fort Dix">Fort Dix</a>.
