Got something to archive?

The ASC History Office has you covered!  Periodically, the ASC History Office may obtain artifacts with significance to the mission of the Army Sustainment Command. In addition, some items and documents which pertain to the larger mission of the Army may be accepted by the History Office for proper preservation. Much of these items and "artifacts" are document in nature but may vary. If you have documents you believe are historically significant - especially documents pertaining to the organization, the organic industrial base, prepositioned stocks, or combat equipment groups - please send us an email. Any donations of materials are greatly appreciated.
