Division Support Brigade- 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized)
Division Support Command (DISCOM)
"Heart of the Rock"
In FY 2004, as part of the Army's transformation towards a modular force, the title and composition of the DISCOM unit was changed to the Division Support Brigade. Unlike DISCOM, the Division Support Brigade includes elements of the engineer brigade and the 24th Corps support group.
The mission of the DISCOM, is to deploy rapidly to contingency area by air, sea, and land perform CSS in a contingency area of operations and sustain mobile armored combined arms warfare.
Headquarters and Headquarters Company 3rd Infantry Division Support Command was originally constituted on 1 July 1957 in the Regular Army Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 3rd Infantry Division Trains, and activated at Fort Benning, GA.
It was consolidated on 20 March 1963 with the 3rd Infantry Division Band (organized in 1943 as the Band, 3rd Infantry Division) and the consolidated unit was reorganized and redesignated as Headquarters, Headquarters and Band, 3rd Infantry Division Support Command.
It was reorganized and redesignated on 15 March 1968 as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, and Band, 3rd Infantry Division Support Command.
The unit was again reorganized and redesignated on 21 May 1972 as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 3rd Infantry Division Support Command (the Band was concurrently withdrawn and has hereafter a separate lineage).
