The 2nd Armored Division, famously known as "Hell on Wheels," was activated in 1940 and gained distinction during World War II for its pivotal roles in the North African and European campaigns. The division’s Headquarters Company (HC) G-4 section was responsible for logistics and supply, ensuring the unit’s combat operations were consistently supported with vital materiel, fuel, and transportation. During the Normandy landings and the subsequent push across France, the G-4 staff coordinated complex supply chains under combat conditions, contributing to the division's rapid advances. After serving through the Cold War in Europe, the division was inactivated in 1995, but its legacy and innovations in armored warfare and logistics endure in U.S. Army history.
