Army Reserve Soldiers from the 217th and 644th Transportation Companies move Active-Duty Army equipment from Fort Cavazos, Texas to The Red River Army Depot near New Boston, Texas on Feb. 29, 2024.
The Tough ‘Ombres are moving the old and broken equipment to the Army’s Modernization Displacement and Repair Site. Moving the older equipment out of the unit’s motor pools allows them to spend their time preparing for new, modernized equipment.
The 217th and 644th Transportation Companies fall under the 348 Transportation Battalion, and the 90th Sustainment Brigade.
The 90th Sustainment Brigade’s lineage goes back to August 1917 when the unit was formed as an Infantry Division on Camp Travis, Texas. When the 90th Infantry Division landed on D-Day, the blood-red T-O insignia meant Texas and Oklahoma. Today the T-O stands for "Tough 'Ombres” as the unit’s members hail from all over the United States.
