About USA AUG 2D LOG CMD USARYIS

**USA AUG 2D LOG CMD USARYIS** (United States Army Augmentation, 2nd Logistics Command, United States Army Ryukyu Islands) was a key logistics unit stationed in the Ryukyu Islands, primarily Okinawa, during the Cold War era. Established to support American military operations in the Western Pacific, the 2d Logistics Command provided vital supply, transportation, and maintenance services to US Army forces in the region. Its mission was crucial during periods of heightened tension, particularly in support of the Vietnam War and regional deterrence efforts. The unit was inactivated or reorganized as US military operations in Okinawa evolved and the Ryukyu Islands were returned to Japanese control in 1972.
