THE 495 BATTLE CRY "YOU CALL WE HAUL"
Since armies first marched, logistics has laid the foundation for success or failure on the battlefield. The military knows that to be triumphant, Soldiers must be fed, clothed, armed, cleaned, rested, and transported. Equipment must be maintained, fueled, and controlled through accurate records. Army logistics is a critical capability of unified land operations, providing support to Army, joint and coalition partners engaged in operations across the worldwide operational environment.
TOUGH 'OMBRES
The 90th Sustainment Brigade’s lineage dates back to August 1917, when the unit was formed as an Infantry Division at Camp Travis, Texas. When the 90th Infantry Division landed on D-Day, the blood-red T-O insignia stood for Texas and Oklahoma. Today, the T-O stands for "Tough 'Ombres," as the unit's members hail from all over the United States.
