The brigade is a light, agile force that moves troops and equipment to the battle area and logistically sustains fighting formations.

102 Operational Sustainment Brigade traces its origin to 102 Beach Sub-Area, Normandy, France.

Once the Mulberry harbours were in use, there was no further requirement for the Beach Groups, which then dispersed to their original Lines of Communication roles.

Its interpretation as a restorer of combat power following bloodshed, exhaustion and hunger reflects the operational role of 102nd Logistic Brigade.

The dual capability of the Halberd, both as a weapon and a hand tool represents the combination of artisan and technical skills, which complement the military training of Brigade personnel.
