102 Operational Sustainment Brigade

102 Operational Sustainment Brigade traces its origin to 102 Beach Sub-Area, Normandy, France. It was one of 3 such formations raised late in 1943 to run logistic support operations across Juno Beach, from D-day until the Mulberry artificial harbours were operational. Once the Mulberry harbours were in use, there was no further requirement for the Beach Groups, which then dispersed to their original Lines of Communication roles. In 1993, 50 years after the original formation of 102nd Beach Sub Area, Headquarters Combat Service Support Group (Germany) was established in Gütersloh, Germany. In July 1999, the formation was re-titled 102nd Logistic Brigade and in October 1999 the Halberd was officially adopted as the formation tactical recognition flash. == Structure ==
