96th Sustainment Brigade (United States)
The 96th Sustainment Brigade, formerly the 96th Infantry Division is a unit of the United States Army that served in World War II.
The division was first organized in October 1918, during the U.S. mobilization for World War I. The division was organized in the First World War "National Army" on 20 October 1918 at Camp Wadsworth, South Carolina. The 96th was one of the last divisions activated and the war ended before it could be deployed. It was thus demobilized on 7 January 1919. The Division was reconstituted in the Organized Reserves on 24 June 1921 at Portland, Oregon.
Effective 17 September 2008, the unit is now known as the 96th Sustainment Brigade. The 96 SB's headquarters is located on Fort Douglas, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Famous quotes containing the word brigade:
“[John] Brough’s majority is “glorious to behold.” It is worth a big victory in the field. It is decisive as to the disposition of the people to prosecute the war to the end. My regiment and brigade were both unanimous for Brough [the Union party candidate for governor of Ohio].”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
