Nearly nineteen years passed between the time the 28th Ordnance Company was constituted on 1 September 1921 and its activation on 1 August 1940 at Fort Oglethorpe in Georgia. The unit was redesignated as a Ordnance Medium Maintenance Company but retained its numeric designation in January 1943, and it was under that designation that it earned credit for participation in four campaigns in Italy, including one with Arrowhead denoting it was part of an assault landing.
It was redesignated the 28th Ordnance Company in 1953, and from 1959 to 1977 was stationed in Germany as part of V Corps, where its outstanding service as a mobile Special Ammunition Supply Point (SASP) led the Army to select it as the “star” of a film documenting the vital role of ammunition supply points. The Company was subsequently inactivated for thirty years until October 2007, when it was activated at Fort Bragg and almost immediately began deploying troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. Between 2008 and 2018, Soldiers from the 28th Ordnance Company have provided support for over 4500 combat missions.
Stationed at Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), the 28th Ordnance Company is a component of the 192nd Ordnance Battalion (Explosive Ordnance Disposal), one of three EOD battalions in the 52nd Ordnance Group (EOD). The 52nd is rounded out by the 63rd Chemical Company (Chemical/Biological/Radiological/Nuclear).
