History
The 310th Expeditionary Sustainment Command traces its linage back to the 310th Logistical Command, which was constituted on 29 August 1950 in the Organized Reserve Corp at Fort Myer, VA. Headquarters and Headquarters Company 310th was assigned to the Second Army (later redesignated as the Second United States Army).
The Command then underwent many reorganizations and redesignations, and in 1982 emerged as the 310th Theater Army Area Command where they provided a Theater Level Command and Control Headquarters for echelons above Corps units in the functional areas of supply, maintenance and services. They worked closely with Headquarters, U.S. Army, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom. They trained with forward deployed Active Component forces in these countries in operations such as the “Return of US Forces Germany (REFORGER)” exercises until the “fall of the Berlin Wall” in November 1989, which began the draw-down and realignment of their force structure to 2006.
On 16 September 2007, the Command was redesignated as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 310th Sustainment Command Expeditionary and was activated in Indianapolis, IN.
