The 425th Transportation Brigade (United States) was a unit of the US Army Reserve. The unit's history begins with US Forces Pacific during World War II, as HHC 100th Highway Transport Services in May 1945 in Manila, Philippines. [1] It was deactivated in 1946.
It was redisignated 425th Highway Transport Services and reactivated in 1947 in Chicago, Ill. as a part of Fifth Army in the US Army Reserve. In 1949 it would be redesignated again as 425th Highway Transportation Division. It would undergo several other reorganizations and move to Oak Park, Ill. in 1957.
In 1960 it would be assigned to XI US Army Corps and redesignated 425th Transportation Command. In 1964 the unit would move to Forest Park, Ill. and be reorganized several times before 1972 when it would be redesignated 425th Transportation Brigade.
The unit deployed to Kuwait [2] for Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm and was deactivated sometime afterwards, but no public records show the date.
