History
editIn 1999, Combat Service Support Group (United Kingdom) was formed under operational command of 3rd (United Kingdom) Mechanised Division.[2]
Under the LANDmark reorganisation from 2002, the group was redesignated as 101st Logistic Brigade and placed under Force Troops Command, but remained under operational command of the 3rd (UK) Mechanised Division still. Under the Army 2020 plan, the Brigade re-subordinated from HQ Force Troops Command to 3rd (United Kingdom) Division permanently on 1 December 2014.[1]
Future
editUnder the Future Soldier programme, the brigade will be redesignated as the 101st Operational Sustainment Brigade. The future role of the brigade has been described as follows: "101st Operational Sustainment Brigade will provide the 3rd Division's logistics and equipment support. It will include the Army's heavy equipment transport and powerpack repair capability; ensuring the armoured BCTs can deploy rapidly and sustain high intensity operations."[3]
