History is being made every day at this command.
The ASC History Office exists to preserve the history of the command and its installations. The office collects documents pertaining to almost every facet of the command including its ammunition plant and depot assets, forward commands, Army Prepositioned Stocks, Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP), staff, and directorate offices.
In addition to Army Sustainment Command and the installation served by the command, the ASC History Office fulfills the role of the Rock Island Arsenal's historical section. This involves providing support for public events in the form of lectures, tours, and displays. The ASC History Office functions to tell the Army story, build esprit de corps, and tell the history of supporting our Nation, our Army, and our Communities.

During 2025, the U.S. Army will celebrate its 250th birthday. The ASC History Office will be observing this celebration all year long with lectures and publications catered to this monumental milestone. Our focus will be on the evolution of logistics from just before the birth of the Nation to the Army of the future. More information can be found in the event list above. Join the ASC History Office for the lectures at the Rock Island Public Library, Main Branch, or the Davenport Public Library, Eastern Branch. These programs will also be run at the end of each month at the Rock Island Arsenal Museum.
The ASC History Newsletter will also feature a focus on 250 years of Army logistics, with periodic expanded articles published to army.mil. Keep an eye out for these upcoming publications and join us as we celebrate the 250th birthday of our U.S. Army.
