Operation Spartan Shield (OSS) is a USCENTCOM (United States Central Command) operation in the Middle East. OSS is commanded by United States Army Central and includes units from all service branches.^{[citation needed]} Task Force Spartan is the U.S. Army component of OSS.^{[citation needed]}

The 408th Contracting Support Brigade supports contracting requirements for Operation Spartan Shield, described in Army Lawyer as "USARCENT's steady state operation to Build Partner Capacity [that is, to conduct Capacity building) in the Middle East."^[1]

In Syria, on 25 August 2020,^[2] a Russian vehicle allegedly rammed a U.S. Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle, which triggered an Operation Spartan Shield response.^[3]
