Unit History & Information
The headquarters' lineage begins in 1936 with the 2nd Battalion, 55th Quartermaster Regiment. It entered active service at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in June 1941, and subsequently became an ordnance organization. In 1942, the headquarters was redesignated as the 189th Ordnance Heavy Maintenance Battalion. Its World War II campaign credits include New Guinea and Luzon. It was inactivated in the Philippines in 1946.
The 189th Maintenance Battalion was activated at Fort Bragg in July 1966. In September 1993, its headquarters became the 189th Support Battalion. The formal record includes campaign credit for Panama and the 1990–1991 Persian Gulf campaign. These changes reflect the importance of maintenance, supply, and transportation to a deployable force. Equipment readiness and the movement of fuel, ammunition, and other supplies are essential to sustaining operations beyond an initial arrival.
