When and where was the 96th established as the 96th Supply and Service Battalion?

• A. On the 16th of September 2004 at Fort Campbell, Kentucky
• B. On the 21st of October 1961 at the former Fort Lee, Virginia
• C. On the 21st of October 1961 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina
• D. On the 16th of September 2004 at Fort Hood, Texas

Answer: (B)

The moment being tested is the unit’s basic lineage—the date and place the 96th first came into existence as a Supply and Service Battalion. The records show it was established on 21 October 1961 at the former Fort Lee, Virginia. Fort Lee was a central logistics hub for the Army, so it’s fitting that the 96th would be formed there to organize and manage supply and service functions for troops. The other options don’t match the historical activation date and location tied to the 96th’s origin as a Supply and Service Battalion.
