We are Army Sustainment Command

In the sweltering heat of Fort Knox, Kentucky, thousands of cadets are currently honing their leadership skills, from drill and ceremony to obstacle courses and night infiltration courses. Beyond the tactical drills and field exercises lies a critical piece to their success – hundreds of hours of planning and work from the U.S. Army Sustainment Command.

he Army’s greatest asset is its people. This is why ASC supports programs such as Choose to Lose - which focuses on helping Soldiers, Civilians, and their families make healthy lifestyle changes and meet their wellness goals. Participants met milestones such as running a 5k for the first time, going to the gym as a family, and trying new healthy meals.

Waverly Woodson never wanted to be a hero. “There is no hero,” he said in a 1994 interview with ABC News, “it’s just that you’re there and you do what you can do.” Yet the name Waverly B. Woodson Jr. resonates deeply within the archives of military history, symbolizing unparalleled bravery and compassion in the face of adversity. An African American medic with the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion, First Army, Cpl. Woodson's heroism during the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, exemplifies the highest ideals of medical service in the military.

For nearly 18 years, the U.S. Army Sustainment Command has ensured that America's Army remains well-supplied, operationally effective, and ready to meet any challenge. ASC marked 2024 with its inaugural Hall of Fame to emphasize the critical importance of logistics in military operations and to recognize those who have made exceptional contributions to the command.

Congratulations to Sgt. Margarita Ferreira and Staff Sgt. Jesse Johnston on completing the ASC Best Warrior Competition! The four-day competition began June 11 at Marseilles Training Center, Illinois, and tested their combat skills. Both competitors will represent ASC at the U.S. Army Materiel Command level of the competition.
