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.

The 812th Quartermaster Company (812th QM Co) is a logistics unit in the United States Army Reserve, primarily tasked with petroleum supply and distribution operations. Activated during World War II, the unit played a vital role in supporting front-line forces by ensuring a steady flow of fuel and related supplies. Over the decades, the 812th has participated in numerous training exercises and deployments, including support missions in the Middle East during Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. The company continues to provide essential logistical support, demonstrating flexibility and commitment in both domestic and overseas operations.
