58th Aviation Regiment
Lineage/DateLine
"Safe Orderly Expeditious"
The Army did not begin a formal program for determining lineage and honors
until the 1920s. Before that time, considerable confusion existed within the
Army about the accepted procedures and methods for determining the prior
history of units and their entitlement to battle honors. With the
demobilization of the Army following World War I, many distinguished units
were lost from the rolls. To avert such problems in the future, the Historical
Section of the Army War College assumed responsibility for maintaining
historical information about Army units: thus lineage work began.
Today the Force Structure and Unit History Branch continues the work begun by
the Historical Section of the Army War College. The branch maintains
historical information on active and inactive units in all components -
Regular Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard, and prepares official
Lineage and Honors Certificates. On the basis of research in primary and
secondary material, the certificates outline the major organizational changes
undergone by the unit and provide a list of the official battle honors
(campaign credit and decorations) that the unit has earned. The information
contained on the certificates is reformatted for publication in the Army
Lineage Series
While it would take a book to recount the rich history brought about by the
changes of each unit in the 615th Brigade Support Battalion, an overall look
at the major reorganizational elements of the Battalion Lineage presents a
picture of an organization that was accustomed to fighting and brought
strength from change.
