507th Transportation Company

The 507th Transportation Company is a unit of the United States Army primarily tasked with transportation and logistics support. It gained significant attention during Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003, when a convoy was ambushed near Nasiriyah, resulting in casualties and the capture of several soldiers, including Private First Class Jessica Lynch. The incident highlighted the dangers faced by support units in modern warfare and led to changes in convoy security and training. The 507th has a history of providing vital logistical support in various operations, ensuring the mobility and sustainment of combat forces.
