<H2>SENIOR LEADERS ARE SAYING</H2>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>"While they still work for an American chain of command, they are living,
sleeping, fighting alongside their Iraqi host unit. Those advisors are embedded
there 24/7."-<B>Lt. Gen. Douglas E. Lute,</B> chief operations officer for the

<H2>TODAY'S FOCUS</H2>
<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>SDDC now a Major Subordinate Command to Army Materiel Command</B>
<BR><BR>The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) is
officially a Major Subordinate Command (MSC) of the U.S. Army Materiel Command
(AMC), headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Va. The SDDC falls under AMC as one of
their MSCs for administrative purposes. Operationally, SDDC continues to work
for the U.S. Transportation Command. <BR><BR>The Army has designated it's three
four-star commands -- Forces Command, Training and Doctrine Command, and Army
Materiel Command -- as "Army Commands." Under AMC, the SDDC continues to be the
Army Service Component Command (ASCC) to USTRANSCOM -- a joint combatant command
along with the Air Force's Air Mobility Command and the Navy's Military Sealift
Command that provides USTRANSCOM with air, sea and surface capability to move
DOD assets worldwide.<BR><BR>AMC provides SDDC with are four-star level Army
support in all aspects of the command's administrative requirements. Major
advantages of aligning SDDC to AMC support the following emerging
capabilities:<BR><BR>* Single Army integrator of logistics with joint and
strategic partners. <BR>* Coordination of the end-to-end distribution pipeline
from a national sustainment base to deployed Theatre Support Commands.<BR>*
Providing command and control, training readiness oversight of assigned forces.
<BR>* Assisting Forces Command generation and rapid projection of trained and
ready forces from Continental United States based to Regional Combatant
Commander and reset of forces upon return to home station. <BR><BR>SDDC remains
an ASCC to USTRANSCOM. SDDC will continue to be responsible for all end-to-end
surface deployment and distribution as an ASCC under the combatant command of
USTRANSCOM. <BR><BR>For more information about SDDC <A
