Combined Arms Support Command. It is a major command of the United States Army under the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command. Headquartered at Fort Gregg-Adams in Virginia, it serves as the Army's proponent for all logistics, supply chain, and sustainment functions. The command develops doctrine, designs force structure, and manages the training and education of the Sustainment Branch and related specialties.

History

The command was established in 1990, consolidating several logistics and quartermaster schools and centers. Its creation was part of a broader post-Cold War reorganization of the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command to streamline combat service support functions. The command's headquarters was historically located at Fort Lee, which was redesignated as Fort Gregg-Adams in 2023. Throughout the Global War on Terrorism, it played a critical role in rapidly adapting sustainment doctrine and equipment for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Organization

The command is organized under a commanding general, typically a major general, with a deputy commanding general and a command sergeant major. Its primary components include several brigade-equivalent centers and schools, each focused on a specific logistics discipline. These are collocated with other United States Army Training and Doctrine Command entities at Fort Gregg-Adams, forming a central hub for sustainment training. The command also maintains close liaison with United States Army Forces Command and United States Army Materiel Command for force development and materiel integration.

Mission and functions

Its core mission is to develop, integrate, and deliver sustainment capabilities to the United States Army. This includes generating doctrine, organizations, training, and leader development for all logistics branches. The command is the proponent for the Quartermaster Corps, the Ordnance Corps, and the Transportation Corps. It oversees the Army Sustainment University and validates requirements for sustainment systems through war gaming and experimentation.

Training and doctrine

The command executes training through its subordinate schools, including the Army Logistics University, the Quartermaster School, the Ordnance School, and the Transportation School. It publishes key doctrinal publications such as Army Doctrine Publication 4-0, *Sustainment*, and Army Techniques Publication 4-0.1, *Army Theater Distribution*. Training encompasses professional military education from the Basic Officer Leader Course to the Sustainment Captain's Career Course, as well as advanced civilian leader programs. The command also manages the Functional Area 90 program for multifunctional logistics officers.

Commanders

Notable commanders have included MG James E. Chambers, MG Larry D. Wyche, and MG Rodney D. Fogg. The commander also serves as the Sustainment Center of Excellence Commandant and the Chief of Ordnance. The current commander is MG Jeffrey W. Jurasek. These generals typically have extensive backgrounds in the Sustainment Branch and have held key logistics positions in organizations like the Defense Logistics Agency.

Subordinate units

Key subordinate units include the Army Sustainment University, the Quartermaster School, the Ordnance School, and the Transportation School. Other major elements are the Logistics Training Department, the Soldier Support Institute, and the Army Combined Arms Support Command (Forward). The command also oversees the Sustainment Battle Lab, which conducts futures and concept development for the United States Army Futures Command. These units collectively train soldiers in specialties ranging from petroleum supply to munitions management.
