Soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division Sustainment Brigade, also known as the “Muleskinners,” can trace their heritage directly back to the Alpine infantrymen and their pack mules that formed the Mountain Medical, Quartermaster, and Ordnance Maintenance Battalions that supported the 10th Infantry Division during World War II. The Division Trains, as they were called, were organized and assigned to the 10th Infantry Division on June 14, 1957, and they were activated in Germany on July 1, 1957. Moving forward, they exchanged their stubborn mules for wheeled ambulances, trucks and forklifts, and upon unit replacement in Germany, were inactivated at Fort Benning, Georgia, on June 14, 1958. Today, the Muleskinners of 10th Mountain Division Sustainment Brigade continue their standard of climbing to glory, and supporting the climb the entire way.

Another amazing week complete for the #Muleskinner Brigade! We had the pleasure of hosting MSG Janina Simmons on Fort Drum. She was able to share her story and #nuggets to succees with all Fort Drum Soldiers. With less than a week away from the Sustainment Ball, a uniform inspection was a perfect activity to include in foundational day tasks. Let’s see what next week has in store!
Another week of amazing events in the #Muleskinner Brigade!! The #Muleskinners hosted the Women Warriors of the Mountain programs Women's History Month where we had the honor to hear from City of Watertown Councilmember Lisa Ruggiero and 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division's Capt. Maggie Doyle. We got to witness a great leader get promoted in front of peers, leaders, family and friends. And last but not least, we got an amazing opportunity to celebrate our Vietnam Veterans with the City of Carthage during their annual Vietnam Veterans Commemorative Day Parade.
The #Muleskinner Brigade has been BUSY!! From supporting #MountainPeak, conducting internal battalion and company level #FTXs, hosting LTG Stiff and CSM Stevens in our brigade footprint, and hosting a P3T Spiritual Breakfast for the Division. So proud of #Muleskinners!
#Teamwork Thank you to the 1st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division and Civil-Military Innovation Institute Inc. for helping us innovate methods to continue resupplying Soldier regardless of what environment they may be in.
#Warriors from 1st Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division and Soldiers of 10th Mountain Division Sustainment Brigade in collaboration with the Civil Military Innovation Institute, push the boundaries of resupply missions through the Tactical Resupply Vehicle, TRV 150 during Mountain Peak exercise. By testing the TRV 150 this demonstrates the commitment to innovative approaches, aiming to enhance resupply capabilities while minimizing risk to personnel in large-scale combat operations. The TRV-150 is an autonomous unmanned aircraft system (UAS) capable of carrying up to 150 pounds of payload designed to resupply small units over the last tactical mile in austere environments. #FindAWayOrMakeOne #ClimbToGlory (U.S. Army photos by Spc.

“Instead of inviting a senior leader or member of another organization to come out and speak, I wanted to invite our own Soldiers from within our brigade to talk to us,” said Col. Fenicia L. Jackson, commander of the #Muleskinner Brigade. “I think it is very important for us, as leaders, to get to know who is in our formation – get to know your Soldiers. It will help develop a better understanding and respect for other people’s culture.” Read the article at the link below: https://lnkd.in/dPaBGPgt
