"ADSEC was the Advance Section of the Communications Zone (Com-Z), European Theater of Operations, United States Army (ETOUSA), and was formally activated at Bristol, England in February 1944. It is commonly referred to as simply "ADSEC". Upon its creation, ADSEC was attached to the U.S. First Army, but from the outset was one section (of ten) of the Communications Zone (Com-Z, ETO) logistics organization, and was the first Army logistical agency on the continent. The section moved forward with the Armies and provided close support. ADSEC came into actual operation on 6 June 1944 with the invasion of Normandy, D-Day, and was operating on both U.S. beaches as soon as they were secure."
