704th Maintenance Battalion

The 704th Maintenance Battalion was originally constituted during World War II, providing vital maintenance and logistical support to U.S. Army units on the European front. Throughout the Cold War, the battalion was assigned to the 4th Infantry Division, serving in Germany and later at Fort Carson, Colorado. During the Vietnam War, the 704th supported combat operations by ensuring vehicles, weaponry, and equipment remained operational in challenging environments. In the 21st century, the unit—redesignated as the 704th Brigade Support Battalion—continued its legacy by supporting deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, maintaining readiness and capability for modern military operations.
