14th Transportation Battalion

The 14th Transportation Battalion was originally constituted on 13 May 1942 in the Army of the United States as Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 14th Quartermaster Battalion, Mobile. It was activated on 20 May 1942 at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana, and served with distinction during World War II, participating in campaigns in the European Theater. The unit was reorganized and redesignated as the 14th Transportation Corps Truck Battalion in August 1943, reflecting its evolving logistics mission. Over the decades, the 14th Transportation Battalion has supported numerous operations, providing critical transportation and logistical support to U.S. Army forces worldwide.
