9th Transportation

The 9th Transportation Battalion was first constituted on 17 June 1943 in the Army of the United States and activated on 25 July 1943 at Camp Young, California. It played a critical role in World War II, providing motor transport support across the European Theater, including during the Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns. Over the decades, the 9th Transportation Battalion has been deployed in major conflicts, including Vietnam, Southwest Asia during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, ensuring the rapid movement of troops, equipment, and supplies.
