101st Forward Support Battalion

The 101st Forward Support Battalion (FSB) was an integral logistical unit within the 1st Infantry Division of the United States Army. Activated in 1987, the battalion provided critical supply, maintenance, and medical support to maneuver brigades, enhancing the combat effectiveness of division operations. The 101st FSB deployed in support of major operations, including Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, ensuring seamless sustainment during both combat and stability missions. In the mid-2000s, as part of Army transformation initiatives, the battalion was inactivated and its functions restructured into modular Brigade Support Battalions to better support contemporary combat teams.
