SDDC Marks 50 years as an Army Command

摘要

The US Army's Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command, headquartered at Scott AFB, Illinois, is celebrating its 50th anniversary as an Army command this year. Officially established on February 15, 1965 as the Military Traffic Management and Terminal Service (MTMTS), the command was redesignated in 1974 as the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) to highlight its primary traffic management mission. Thirty years later, in 2004, the organization received its current designation as the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) to more directly reflect its global deployment and distribution mission. SDDC is the Army Service Component Command to the US Transportation Command and a Major Subordinate Command of the US Army Materiel Command. SDDC's mission is to provide global deployment and distribution capabilities to meet our nation's objectives.
