• World War II Origins: The 110th Transportation Company Depot was originally constituted during World War II to support logistics operations in the European Theater, playing a key role in moving supplies after the D-Day invasion. • Korean War Service: The unit was reactivated during the Korean War, providing critical transportation of ammunition and rations to front-line troops under hazardous conditions. • Nickname "The Rolling Depot": Soldiers from the 110th earned the nickname "The Rolling Depot" due to their ability to set up mobile supply points rapidly. • Vietnam War Assignments: The 110th deployed to Vietnam, where they navigated dangerous roads, often under threat of ambush, to deliver vital supplies to remote bases. • Innovations in Logistics: The unit was among the first to test modular container systems, which revolutionized military supply chains and are now standard practice. • Humanitarian Missions: In addition to combat operations, the 110th supported disaster relief missions, including Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, distributing food and medical supplies. • Desert Storm Deployment: During Operation Desert Storm, the company managed long-haul convoys across the Saudi desert, ensuring uninterrupted supply lines for coalition forces. • Female Leadership: In 2008, Captain Maria Ortiz became the first woman to command the 110th, marking a significant milestone in the unit’s history. • Unit Citation: The 110th received a Meritorious Unit Commendation for outstanding performance during Operation Iraqi Freedom, recognized for maintaining a 98% mission success rate. • Historical Reunion: Veterans from the 110th gather annually to commemorate their service and preserve the legacy of the unit, with a special memorial established at Fort Lee, Virginia.
