Subordinate elements of the 43rd Sustainment Brigade were: The unit was constituted into the Regular Army on 18 January 1966 as the 43rd General Support Group.

[3] On 26 July 1967, acting on a seven-hour notification, HHC, 43rd and 352nd Transportation Company (Light Truck) deployed to Selfridges Air Force Base, Michigan, to provide logistical support for the elements of the XVIII Airborne Corps during riot control operations.

In August and September 1967, units of the Group deployed to Alaska during severe flooding to establish a field laundry site.

These troops were gradually reduced and in large part replaced early in 1993 by a UN peacekeeping operation in which the 43rd CSG played a smaller role.

Operation Restore Hope ended on 4 May 1993, when the United Nations assumed control of the humanitarian mission from American command.

This drug was recently added to the Department of Veterans Affairs War Related Illness and Injury Study Center (WRIISC) as a "Potential Deployment Exposure."

On 5 June 1993, Somali National Alliance forces ambushed and killed 24 Pakistani soldiers assigned to UNOSOM II.

In retaliation, the United Nations Security Council authorized the U.S. and multinational forces to launch ground and air attacks on Aidid's headquarters and strongholds in Mogadishu.

On 8 August Somali Guerillas detonated a mine under a passing U.S. Military Police (MP) vehicle on Jialle-Siaad Street in the Medina district of Mogadishu killing four U.S. MPs task organized to the 43rd CGS (Sgt.

This single, highly effect, attack infamously ushered in a new tactical era of the Improvised Explosive Device (IED).

The Provider team deployed again from October 2004 to September 2005 to Camp Arifjan, Kuwait as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom III.
