10th Force Support Battalion (Australia)

10 FSB was formed on 1 March 1998, following the amalgamation of the 10th Terminal Regiment, 2nd Field Logistics Battalion and the 1st Division Postal Unit. The battalion was awarded a Meritorious Unit Citation for operations in East Timor during INTERFET in 1999–2000, the first logistics unit to be honoured with such an award. In March 2026 the 10th Force Support Battalion's 35th Water Transport Squadron and Littoral Riverine Survey Squadron were transferred to the newly-established Littoral Manoeuvre Group. ==Structure==
