13 COSCOM

The 13th Corps Support Command (13th COSCOM) was activated in 1965 at Fort Hood, Texas, to provide logistical support for III Corps and U.S. Army operations. Throughout its history, 13th COSCOM supplied transportation, maintenance, medical, and supply services to troops during major deployments, including Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in the Gulf War, and later in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The unit played a crucial role in ensuring combat readiness and sustainment for U.S. and coalition forces. In 2006, 13th COSCOM was re-designated as the 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), continuing its legacy of logistical excellence.
