Det 1:ELF-1

**Det 1/ELF-1** (Detachment 1, Expeditionary Logistics Flight 1) was established as a specialized support unit tasked with providing rapid-deployment logistics and sustainment operations in austere environments. Activated during the early 2000s, the unit played a crucial role in supporting overseas contingency operations, ensuring that forward-deployed forces received essential supplies, transportation, and maintenance.
