532nd Petrol Dept

The 532nd Petrol Department was a logistical unit established during World War II to support Allied operations in the European Theater. Its primary mission was to manage the storage, transportation, and distribution of fuel to frontline units, ensuring mechanized and armored divisions remained operational. The unit was instrumental during critical campaigns such as the Normandy landings and the subsequent advance across France, playing a key role in keeping supply lines open. After the war, the 532nd continued to serve in various capacities before being reorganized as part of broader postwar logistical restructuring.
