The 39th Transportation Battalion was originally constituted on 23 May 1942 in the Army of the United States and activated at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. The unit provided critical logistical and transportation support during World War II, notably participating in campaigns across the European Theater. Re-designated and inactivated several times over the decades, the battalion saw renewed service during the Vietnam War, where it played a vital role in sustaining U.S. military operations. Today, the 39th Transportation Battalion continues its legacy, supporting global missions as part of U.S. Army transportation and sustainment operations.
