316th Expeditionary Sustainment Command

The 316th Expeditionary Sustainment Command is one of six general officer sustainment commands in the Army Reserve. It has command and control of more than 10,000 Army Reserve Soldiers throughout the northeastern United States.
The ESC is a peacetime subordinate to the 377th Theater Sustainment Command.

History

The original 316th Logistical Command was constituted on 17 November 1950 in the Organized Reserve Corps and activated on 1 December 1950 at Knoxville, Tenn. The 316th Logistical Command was redesignated on 9 July 1952 in the Army Reserve and again on 30 November 1960 as Headquarters Detachment, 316th Logistical Command. The unit was deactivated in 1968 at Knoxville.
On 17 January 2006, the command was redesignated as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 316th Expeditionary Sustainment Command and was activated on 16 September 2007 at Coraopolis, Pa.
The 316th Sustainment Command is the U.S. Army's first transformation-era modular ESC unit, and the first to deploy to Iraq. The 316th transformed from a traditionally structured force to one designed to better address sustained military operations and missions and the nation's emergency rapid response.
The command's mission is provide command and control of all sustainment forces in an operational theater.
While in Iraq from August 2007 to June 2008, the 316th ESC, composed of more than 20,000 personnel, provided logistical coordination and support to U.S. units, Multi-National Coalition partners and Iraqi Forces in support of all operations. That support translated into everything from bullets to beans, fuel to maintenance parts and coordinating certain human resource services.
