Lt. Col. Tanya Payne, commander of the 526th Light Support Battalion, 101st Division Sustainment Brigade, hosted a redesignation ceremony marking the unit’s transition from a Brigade Support Battalion to a Light Support Battalion under Army Structure 2030, June 15, 2026, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
The ceremony symbolized a significant transformation as the battalion officially reflagged its subordinate companies, aligning its capabilities to support large-scale combat operations and multidomain warfare.
“As the Army transforms for future conflicts, the Soldiers of the 526th carry forward a legacy of innovation, adaptability and selfless service,” Payne said. “From Normandy to today’s missions, that legacy continues to define who we are.”
The redesignation reinforces the Army’s commitment to building agile, lethal and responsive sustainment formations in support of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).
New unit designations include:
- Headquarters Distribution Company
- Maintenance Support Company
- Bravo Company
- Charlie Company
- Delta Company
