259th Field Services Company

The 259th Field Services Company was activated during World War II to provide essential logistical and support services to frontline combat units. Specializing in laundry, bath, and clothing repair operations, the company ensured that soldiers maintained hygiene and had access to clean uniforms, which was critical for morale and health. The unit served in the European Theater, moving with advancing Allied forces and supporting major campaigns, including the Rhineland and Central Europe operations. After the war, the 259th Field Services Company continued its service during periods of occupation before being inactivated as part of postwar drawdowns.
