741st Quartermaster Battalion

The 741st Quartermaster Battalion was constituted on 17 July 1943 in the Army of the United States and activated on 25 July 1943 at Camp Ellis, Illinois. Throughout World War II, the battalion provided essential logistical and supply support, ensuring frontline units received necessary fuel, rations, and equipment during key European campaigns. After the war, the unit was inactivated in 1946 but was later allotted to the Army Reserve, reflecting its continuing importance to Army logistics. The 741st Quartermaster Battalion has since supported various operations and training missions, maintaining a legacy of excellence in sustainment and supply operations.
