8th Theater Sustainment Command

8th Theater Sustainment Command The Headquarters, Headquarters Company and Special Troops, 8th Field Army Support Command (8th FASCOM) was constituted on 5 February 1968, and activated on 1 March 1968 in Korea. Field Army Support Commands provided logistical support to the Field Army units of Vietnam, as the Army recognized the need for a centralized logistics organization. The unit was inactivated on 21 June 1971 at Fort Lewis, Washington, and was re-designated on 14 April 2005 as the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 8th Theater Sustainment Command. The former 45th Corps Support Group was inactivated on 11 January 2006 and reorganized as the 8th Theater Sustainment Command (Provisional).

130th Theater Engineer Brigade The 130th Theater Engineer Brigade was originally constituted in the U.S. Army as the 1303rd Engineer General Service Regiment and activated on July 15, 1943 at Camp Ellis, Illinois. The regiment has WWII campaign credits for Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardennes-Alsace, Central Europe and the Asian-Pacific theatre. The regiment was deactivated on July 8, 1955 and its elements allocated to the regular Army. It was re-designated as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 130th Engineer Aviation Brigade in Japan and subsequently inactivated on June 25, 1956. On June 16, 1969, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 130th Engineer Aviation Brigade was re-designated as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 130th Engineer Brigade and activated in Pioneer Kaserne, Hanau, Germany. From December 1995 to January 1996 all units in the brigade, except the 320th Engineer Company (Topographic), deployed to Croatia or Bosnia and Herzegovina in support of Operation Joint Endeavor. In December 1995, the 502nd Engineer Company deployed to Zupanja, Croatia and placed the historic ribbon bridge over the Sava River. Units of the 130th Theater Engineer Brigade were deployed to Kuwait in early 2003 and moved into Iraq in March where they supported Operation Iraqi Freedom with bridging and infrastructure support. Brigade units redeployed to Hanau in late 2003 and early 2004. The brigade deployed to Iraq again in September 2005. The 130th Theater Engineer Brigade said goodbye to Hanau, casing its colors on Pioneer Kaserne on May 4, 2007. The brigade headquarters became part of U.S. Army Pacific on June 16, 2007. The 130th Engineer Brigade stood up in Hawaii on 23 October 2008.
