The 404th Army Field Support Brigade (AFSB) of the United States Army provides installation logistics, maintains prepositioned material, and supports capabilities to increase soldier and material readiness - both on land and via sealift [1] .
The Brigade was activated October 16, 2008. The Brigade commands two Army Field Support Battalions, two Logistics Support Teams, and 17 Logistics Readiness Centers. [2] As of 2022, the brigade was focused on the Army's new DSLE (division logistics support element) concept for division sized elements. [3] [4]
In 2024, the brigade was supporting the Army's Rapid Removal of Excess (R2E) program disposing of old, outdated equipment and redistributing equipment still in useful condition to other Army units. [5]
The Distinctive Unit Insignia is a silver metal pin in the shape of a shield with a white mountain at the top. A blue four pointed star is on the mountain and the bottom of the shield is divided red and blue with gold lightning bolts on the inside. Below all is a black ribbon with the motto "Sustinere Ad Victurus" (Sustain To Win). The insignia was approved 16 October 2008. [6] [7]
