We Are Army Sustainment Command

Experts from around the Army and industry will come together to address what the service is doing to “Delivering Victory: Leveraging the Army's Industrial Might” during the Association of the United States Army’s Global Force Symposium and Exhibition, March 24-26, at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama. It will feature in-depth discussions including a U.S. Army Materiel Command-led keynote and a contemporary military forum on “Partnering with Industry to Revolutionize Garrison Feeding” March 25 at 9 a.m. CDT.

As the United States approaches its 250th birthday, we are reminded by the American Revolution that the nation's independence was won not only by battlefield bravery but also by extraordinary feats of logistical ingenuity. The British evacuation of Boston on 17 March 1776, a date still celebrated as Evacuation Day in Massachusetts, stands as one of the Continental Army's first major strategic victories. This pivotal success, however, would have been impossible without a preceding logistical miracle. This impressive feat would come to be known as the "Noble Train of Artillery," a testament to the Continental Army's ability to project power through sheer will and meticulous planning.

The Logistics Support Element (Division), assigned to the 402nd Army Field Support Brigade under the U.S. Army Sustainment Command, served as a conduit between the 11th Airborne Division and the U.S. Army Materiel Command enterprise accelerating solutions that extended beyond the tactical level at the Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center Alaska.

The U.S. Army Sustainment Command’s Supply Chain Operations Directorate moves quietly in the background, coordinating the Army’s supply picture in ways that ripple across every formation. A unit’s equipment, ammunition, repair parts and everyday Soldier gear relies on a continuing feed of materiel, from the mundane to the mission critical. The focus of SCOD is the supply chain itself: the process of getting supplies and equipment from one location to another and ultimately to where the Soldier needs it.

III Armored Corps and Fort Hood marked a milestone in Army food service modernization Feb. 18 with the official grand opening of 42 Bistro, the Army’s first campus-style dining venue. Led by the U.S. Army Materiel Command, the effort leverages private industry expertise to operate installation dining facilities in a model similar to those on college campuses. The approach directly responds to Soldier feedback requesting greater menu variety, expanded hours and improved dining environments.

Readiness begins long before deployment. For U.S. Army Sustainment Command, it starts with disciplined, safety‑driven sustainment, a standard the 406th Army Field Support Brigade lives every day. The 406th AFSB has embraced this truth by building a culture where safety is not a checklist but a mindset, one that empowers leaders and employees at every level.

Col. Stacy L. Moore-Callaway, commander of the 407th Army Field Support Brigade, and Command Sgt. Maj. George R. Warren, brigade command sergeant major, visited the Logistics Readiness Center (LRC) at Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico, Feb. 12 as part of a battlefield circulation focused on readiness and sustainment operations across the Caribbean. The visit provided an operational overview of the workforce capabilities and strategic impact across the region. LRC Fort Buchanan integrates readiness and transportation functions to ensure materiel readiness for service members and units.

A U.S. Army Sustainment Command Logistics Readiness Center achieved 10 years accident-free, boosting mission readiness while protecting critical personnel and equipment. This milestone means that for 10 consecutive years LRC Rock Island Arsenal, Illinois, has operated without any significant incidents involving severe injury, death, or major destruction of property.

As the nature of warfare rapidly evolves, the U.S. Army is launching a powerful tool that will transform how today’s forces prepare for tomorrow’s fight, delivering the accuracy, agility and speed needed to succeed on the modern battlefield. The Soldier Equipping and Asset Management System, or SEAM, represents a groundbreaking new era of Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment management.

Counterintelligence is fundamentally about controlling the information space and shaping minds. It exploits assumptions, biases, and expectations. Popular culture romanticizes the double agent, but real counterintelligence is far more complex and constantly evolving. In today’s interconnected world, information moves at the speed of a click.
