The 3rd Ordnance Battalion was originally constituted in the U.S. Army during World War II, where it played a crucial role in supporting combat operations through maintenance and supply of munitions and ordnance materiel. Over the years, the battalion has been activated and inactivated several times, adapting to the Army's evolving logistical needs. During the Vietnam War, the 3rd Ordnance Battalion provided essential ammunition support, ensuring frontline units were well-supplied throughout the conflict. Today, it continues to serve as a vital component in Army logistics, supporting operations both in the continental United States and overseas deployments.
