The 725th Maintenance Battalion was originally constituted on 26 August 1941 as the 725th Ordnance Light Maintenance Company and activated at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. The unit provided critical maintenance and logistical support for the 25th Infantry Division during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, ensuring operational readiness of vehicles and equipment. Over the decades, the battalion underwent several reorganizations, reflecting changes in Army structure and technology, and was redesignated as the 725th Support Battalion. Today, the unit continues its legacy of excellence as part of the 25th Infantry Division, supporting operations and deployments worldwide.
