History of the 9th Logistical Command

The 9th TAACOM, originally designated Headquarters 9th Logistical Command, was constituted May 5, 1960 and was activated on the island of Okinawa, Japan.

The unit deployed to Thailand in May 1962 at the request of the Royal Thai government to provide assistance in civil construction projects and later became the logistical support element for Joint Task Force 116 to counter the growing conflict in the Southeast Asia area.

When the joint task force was inactivated, the 9th Logistical Command remained in Thailand with the mission of storing and maintaining pre-positioned stocks, conducting people-to-people civic action programs, and maintaining and in-country communications base.

The command was inactivated in Thailand June 12, 1970.

Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 9th TAACOM was reactivated November 1,1994 at United States Army Japan headquarters, Camp Zama, Japan.
