== History ==
===1944–1949===
Activated 1 August 1944 at Oahu, Territory of Hawaii, as Headquarters Company, 8th Field Depot, Supply Service, Fleet Marine Force
Combat Logistics Battalion 24 has existed in one form or another since the early 1960s. It has participated in many of the important Marine Corps operations of the last half-century. During the 1960s, the Logistic Support Unit, 32d Marine Amphibious Unit (MAU), Fleet Marine Force, Atlantic was temporarily activated to participate in exercises and operations in the Caribbean and Atlantic areas. In the early 1970s, the unit underwent several re-designations and name changes to become the MAU Service Support Group 32 of the 32d MAU -- which is very similar to our current name. The MSSG-32 and the 32d MAU participated in numerous exercises and operations in the Mediterranean Area in the 1970s.


Participated in the following World War II Campaign: Iwo Jima
On [[December 1]], [[1982]], the numbering of MAUs and MSSGs was redesigned. MSSG-32 became MSSG-22 of the 22d MAU, Fleet Marine Forces Atlantic. During this time and for several six-month deployments in 1983 and 1984, MSSG-22 was a part of the Multinational Peacekeeping Force in Lebanon. When Cuban and Communist influence was threatening US citizens and US national interests in the Caribbean islands of Grenada and Caricao, President Reagan ordered the Marines, including MSSG-22, to land and take those islands in October and November 1983.


Relocated during April 1945 to Hilo, Territory of Hawaii
In the years after the [[Operation Urgent Fury|Grenada invasion]], the numbering of the MSSGs was shuffled, and MSSG-22 became MSSG-24 of the 24th MAU, [[Fleet Marine Force]]s Atlantic in 1984 and MSSG-24 of the 24th MAU in 1986. MAU Service Support Group-24 became MEU Service Support Group-24 in 1988.


Redesignated 1 June 1945 as Headquarters Company, Headquarters and Service Battalion, 8th Service Regiment, Service Command, Fleet Marine Force
Following [[Operation Desert Storm]] in 1991, the 24th MEU and MSSG-24 were tasked with the humanitarian relief effort [[Operation Provide Comfort]] in support of the Kurdish people in [[Turkey]] and [[Northern Iraq]]. In 1993 and 1994, the 24th MEU and MSSG-24 helped keep warring factions in [[Somalia]] at bay during [[Operation Restore Hope]] and [[Operation Continue Hope]]. The MSSG left the shores of Somalia for the [[Adriatic Sea]] in 1994, where it supported [[Operation Provide Promise]] and [[Operation Deny Flight]] during the war in [[Bosnia-Herzegovinia]]. Two weeks after returning from the [[Balkans]] in 1994, the MSSG was off to the coast of [[Haiti]] as part of [[Operation Support Democracy]].


Relocated during April 1945 to Sasebo, Japan
MSSG-24 returned to the Balkans with the MEU during its next several deployments in 1995 and 1996 to support operations against Serbian aggression. During 1995, the 24th MEU rescued Captain [[Scott O'Grady]], an Air Force pilot who had been shot down over [[Bosnia]]. In 1996, MSSG-24 assisted in restoring a bridge over the [[Drina River]] in Bosnia. In 1997, the 24th MEU and the MSSG were diverted to the [[Persian Gulf]] to be the landing force for Fifth Fleet in support of [[Operation Desert Thunder]]. During its 1999 deployment, the 24th MEU assumed again a forward presence in the Balkans during the [[NATO]] operation against Serbian aggression in [[Kosovo]]. During this deployment, [[AV-8B Harrier II|Harriers]] from the 24th MEU were the first such aircraft to be used in combat.
