The 55th Sustainment Brigade is a key logistics unit of the United States Army Reserve, headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Originally constituted as the 55th Quartermaster Base Depot in 1943, the unit provided vital supply and support services during World War II in the European Theater. Over the decades, the brigade underwent several reorganizations, ultimately becoming a sustainment brigade tasked with providing logistical support, transportation, and supply operations for military forces. In recent years, the 55th Sustainment Brigade has supported multiple operations, including deployments in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, ensuring combat readiness and sustainment for deployed forces.
