The 94th started as a provisional division in 1918. It was originally going to be formed as the 94th (Puerto-Rico) Division, based in Puerto Rico and composed of Spanish-speaking troops. However, the US Army lacked enough Spanish-speaking instructors to train the necessary support and technical services units, so it was agreed to create it as a "paper" division like the 93rd. The infantry regiments were assigned numbers 373 through 376, which would have been associated with the National Army's 94th Division. Only the 373rd–375th Infantry Regiments were formed. With the close of World War I, the division was disbanded. One of the Division's nicknames, the "Neuf-Cats" most likely comes from this era as most World War I combat was set in France, and the number '94' was pronounced in French as "Neuf-Quatre", literally, "Nine-Four". As the French numeral "Quatre" is pronounced as the English "cat", the division decided to adopt this as a nickname and pluralized it.
