Geschichte
Das 71st Ordnance Battalion wurde in Deutschland 1955 aktiviert. Im Jahre 1959 wurde aus dem Battalion die AWSCOM gebildet. Am 24. März 1962 wurde sie in 59th Ordnance Brigade umbenannt.
Im Oktober 1972 wurden die SASCOM und einige Einheiten mitübernommen. Die Brigade trug daraufhin auch den Zusatz SASCOM.
Im Juni 1992 wurde die Brigade deaktiviert, nachdem sie ihre Aufgaben erfüllt hatte, ein großen Teil der Atomwaffen aus Europa wegzubringen.
Sie wurde 1994 am Stützpunkt Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, reaktiviert.[1]
