198th maintenance battalion

The 198th Maintenance Battalion was first constituted during World War II to provide essential maintenance support to frontline units, ensuring the operational readiness of vehicles and equipment. Over the decades, the battalion served in various capacities, supporting both combat and peacetime missions, including deployments during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. In more recent years, the 198th has played a vital role in overseas operations, offering logistical and technical support in the Middle East. Today, the unit continues its legacy of excellence, maintaining high standards of efficiency and readiness within the U.S. Army’s support structure.
