501st FSB

The 501st Forward Support Battalion (FSB) was a key logistics unit in the U.S. Army, originally assigned to the 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division. Activated in the late 20th century, the 501st FSB provided comprehensive support in areas such as supply, maintenance, and medical services to its brigade’s combat units. The battalion played a vital role during Operation Iraqi Freedom, ensuring frontline troops received essential resources and support under challenging conditions. In later years, as part of Army modular transformation, the 501st FSB was reorganized and redesignated to better meet the evolving needs of modern military operations.
