The 371st Sustainment Brigade is an Ohio Army National Guard Sustainment Brigade. It is based out of Springfield, Ohio. The 371st Sustainment Brigade is made up of the 371st Special Troops Battalion (Newark, Ohio) and the 112th Transportation Battalion (Green, Ohio).
The Headquarters 371st Sustainment Brigade was constituted on 29 August 1917 as the Headquarters 62nd Field Artillery Brigade, 37th Infantry Division. The 62nd Field Artillery Brigade owes its inception to the fact that, in the early days of 1917, the patriotic citizens of Ohio insisted that the Ohio Troops be organized into a complete Division. In order to accomplish this, three regiments of Field Artillery were hurriedly formed to support the two Ohio Infantry Brigades (73rd and 74th).
The Field Artillery in Ohio prior to the World War, consisted of one' organization whose history dates back to July 6, 1837. This historic military organization was reorganized from a section to form a regiment in 1860, and saw service for the duration of the Civil War. It was mustered into service once more in 1898, for active duty in the Spanish–American War, but, contrary to expectations, did not serve outside the continental limits of the United States. In 1899, the Regiment was reduced in size, and, on September 23, 1911, the three remaining Batteries were designated the Battalion of Field Artillery, Ohio National Guard.
This Battalion was ordered to Mexican Border duty on July 16, 1916, and served until March 12, 1917. On May 4, 1917, the Battalion was expanded into a Regiment, and, on September 15, 1917, became a part of the 62nd Brigade of Field Artillery.
