50th Ordnance

The 50th Ordnance Company was originally constituted during World War II to provide essential ordnance support, including the maintenance and supply of munitions and equipment, to front-line combat units. Activated in 1942, the unit served in the European Theater, supporting Allied operations from the Normandy landings through the final push into Germany. After the war, the 50th Ordnance underwent several activations and inactivations, adapting to the changing needs of the U.S. Army during the Cold War and beyond. Today, the 50th Ordnance continues its mission of providing vital logistical and technical support to ensure combat readiness wherever deployed.
