82 years of providing sustainment capabilities. From our orgin in North Carolina, to the Middle East...from operations in Europe to our current home at Fort Bliss, Texas...we are ATLAS! Support for Strength!

Happy 82nd Birthday, Atlas Battalion! 🎉

For 82 years, Atlas has answered the call supporting the fight and strengthening the force. From providing critical ammunition support during its activation in 1944, to serving the El Paso community in 2026 by delivering water after a major waterline break, Atlas Battalion has remained committed to mission and service, both at home and abroad.

Atlas troops marked this milestone by starting the day with a rigorous PT session, testing the strength of today’s formation while honoring the dedication and sacrifice of those who came before us.

At lunchtime, Soldiers came together for an 82nd birthday cake cutting, with remarks from the Battalion Commander (Atlas 6) and the Battalion Command Sergeant Major (Atlas 7), reflecting on our legacy and the path forward.

Here’s to 82 years of excellence and many more to come.
Support for Strength.

The Atlas Team presented several awards prior to departing on HBL, recognizing their selfless service and dedication to supporting the Iron Team mission.

In addition, multiple Soldiers were recognized for the hard work and effort the team demonstrated during NTC. Outstanding performance by the Atlas Team supporting the force and strengthening the team. Great job, Atlas

Welcome back, Atlas Family!

We hope everyone enjoyed a safe and relaxing holiday block leave. Our Atlas Soldiers are already back in stride and focused on the year ahead.

The new year kicked off with leader briefs from Atlas 6 and 7, outlining priorities and expectations moving forward. Soldiers have also been hard at work conducting vehicle maintenance to ensure readiness across the formation.

Additionally, our troops have begun training for the Norwegian Foot March, an 18.6-mile ruck march that tests endurance, discipline, and mental toughness.

Smiling faces and full plates. Our BDE Culinary Specialists went all out to make sure Atlas Soldiers had a memorable Christmas lunch.

Before taking some well-deserved time off, 1AD Soldiers were treated to a holiday meal at Muleskinner Dining Facility, the reigning Soldier’s Choice DFAC, served by leadership throughout Fort Bliss. #Muleskinners #happyholidays #IronSoldiers

As many of our Soldiers and familes are preparing for the holidays, here's a quick message from our BN Command Team.

Soldiers completed Combat Lifesaver (CLS) training, reinforcing Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) fundamentals and ensuring our formations remain prepared to render life-saving care in combat and training environments.

The unit also executed dismounted individual land navigation in support of ESB, BLC, and LTT, sharpening core Soldier skills and reinforcing confidence in terrain association, map reading, and movement techniques.

Staff leaders also conducted MDMP in support of C/142ND operations.

Additionally, leaders across the formation attended Iron Summit, hosted by the Division Command Sergeant Major and Commanding General, where they received insight on the current state of the division and guidance on priorities and expectations moving forward.

Soldiers, Families, and Friends of the 142d Division Sustainment Support Battalion:

​Prepare to honor 82 years of dedicated service, from the dusty fields of WWII and the frozen mountains of South Korea, to the sands of Iraq and Afghanistan! To our most recent mission where Atlas directly transformed sustainment operations in AO Victory in Europe.

​Join us for the 142d DSSB Ascendant Ball as we celebrate our proud lineage, which began on January 13, 1944, as the 142d Quartermaster Battalion. We are the backbone of sustainment, the mighty "Atlas" that carries the fight! Sustaining America's Tank Division! We are ATLAS!

Support for Strength!
