172nd Support Battalion. The Backbone of the Arctic Brigade.
Every combat unit runs on the work of its support soldiers — the fuel, the ammunition, the maintenance, the supply lines that keep the brigade in the fight. This premium 15oz white ceramic mug honors the 172nd Support Battalion of the 172nd Infantry Brigade with the distinctive white outline DUI, branch insignia, and service ribbon — a tribute to the soldiers who kept the Arctic brigade ready from Alaska to Germany and beyond.
From Fort Wainwright to Grafenwöhr. The Support That Never Stopped.
The 172nd Infantry Brigade was a light infantry brigade of the United States Army, originally stationed at Fort Wainwright, Alaska before moving its headquarters to Grafenwöhr, Germany as part of V Corps. One of five active-duty separate brigade combat teams in the US Army, the 172nd was inactivated on 31 May 2013. Through every posting and every mission, the 172nd Support Battalion provided the logistical foundation that made the brigade's operations possible — in Arctic conditions, in European terrain, and wherever the mission demanded. The white outline DUI on this mug carries that service with quiet pride.
