From 1922 to 1939, the division's subordinate units generally held separate summer camps at locations within their respective states: Connecticut units at Niantic; Rhode Island units at <a href="/wiki/Quonset_Point" title="Quonset Point">Quonset Point</a>; Maine units at Camp Keyes, near <a href="/wiki/Augusta,_Maine" title="Augusta, Maine">Augusta</a>; and Vermont units at <a href="/wiki/Fort_Ethan_Allen" title="Fort Ethan Allen">Fort Ethan Allen</a>. The division was assembled in one place for the first time at Fort Devens in June 1930. During that camp, training was conducted at the squad and platoon level due to the relative inexperience of the units’ soldiers. The next opportunity for the 43rd Division to function as a complete unit came in August 1935 when it participated in the First and Second <a href="/wiki/Corps_Area" class="mw-redirect" title="Corps Area">Corps Area</a> phase of the First Army maneuvers at <a href="/wiki/Fort_Drum" title="Fort Drum">Pine Camp</a>, <a href="/wiki/New_York_(state)" title="New York (state)">New York</a>.

The 43rd Division's last major training event before induction was the First Army maneuvers near <a href="/wiki/Canton,_New_York" title="Canton, New York">Canton, New York</a>, in August 1940.
