My great grandfather was in the US "Ordinance 1st Army" during world war 2-- question!

by Reileyje

I have this plaque with his rank and "Ordinance 1st Army", as well as the areas "Normandy" - "Bastogne" - "Remagen".

This has piqued my curiosity and I've been trying to research more about Ordinance 1st army, what they did, and any records or documentation of their role or place in these areas. Does anyone know any good resources where I can find more information about Ordinance 1st army or what that specifically means?

Much appreciated, thank you in advance
