509th Personnel Services Battalion

The 509th PSB is charged with providing Personnel Services and Postal Support to 2d Infantry Division and other units in the area of operations. On order, transition to war, relocate to alternate sites, and provide support.

The 509th Personnel Service Battalion was permanently organized under a Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE) effective 16 October 1987. The command is the successor to a number of units responsible for Army personnel administration in Korea. Originally there was the Office of the Adjutant General, Eighth United States Army; then the U.S. Army Military Personnel Center-Korea (MILPERCEN-K); and most recently, the 8th Personnel Command (Provisional). These organizational changes were made to consolidate and centralize all Army personnel service support in the Theater.
