In September of 1940 the United States Army began inducting National Guard divisions from the states into national service to quickly increase the size of the Army. But the National Guard of 1940 consisted of only eighteen divisions and, America's war planners believed that a much larger Army was necessary to engage in any type of offensive action overseas in either Europe or Asia, or certainly both. So new divisions had to be created.
Most of the new divisions created by the Army were infantry divisions, as it is the infantry soldier who had historically fought and won battles and wars. But it was evident to observers that the shockingly sudden collapse of France in May 1940 was brought about largely as a result of German armor. The impact of massive formations of tanks on the battlefield was unmistakable, and the United States Army determined to have sufficient numbers of armored units.
