The 801st Maintenance Battalion was a key support unit within the U.S. Army, most notably assigned to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). Activated during World War II, the battalion provided essential maintenance, repair, and logistical support to keep the division's vehicles and equipment operational during major campaigns in Europe. The unit continued its distinguished service in subsequent conflicts, including Vietnam, where it ensured the division's readiness through challenging conditions. In recent years, the 801st has supported operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, adapting to modern logistical demands and upholding its legacy of excellence in sustainment and support operations.
