48th Ordnance

The 48th Ordnance Company was originally constituted during World War II to provide critical ordnance support, specializing in the maintenance and supply of munitions to frontline units. Activated in 1942, the unit played a key role in supporting Allied operations in the European Theater, ensuring that combat units remained well-supplied with ammunition and equipment. Over the years, the 48th Ordnance has been reorganized and deployed in various conflicts, including the Korean War and subsequent overseas assignments during the Cold War period. Today, the unit continues its legacy by delivering comprehensive ordnance logistics and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) support to U.S. Army operations worldwide.
