Quartermaster Corps

The Quartermaster Corps is one of the oldest branches of the United States Army, officially established on June 16, 1775, during the Revolutionary War. Its primary mission has been to provide logistics support—supplying troops with food, clothing, fuel, and equipment—ensuring operational readiness across all Army campaigns. Over the centuries, the Corps has adapted to technological advancements and changing warfare, playing vital roles in conflicts from the Civil War to modern operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, the Quartermaster Corps continues to underpin Army effectiveness through innovative supply chain management and sustainment operations worldwide.
