13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary)
The 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary)—the "Lucky 13th"—is a U.S. Army modular sustainment command which serves as a forward presence for expeditionary operations for a theater, or in support of a regional combatant commander. Expeditionary sustainment commands (ESC), such as the 13th, synchronize distribution of supplies and services within their operational areas and provides distribution oversight. Formed at Fort Hood, Texas when the 1st Logistics Command deployed to Vietnam, the organization then known the 13th Support Brigade was initially responsible for the training of technical services units to assume combat service support missions in Southeast Asia.
As the Army redefined the missions of its logistics forces in response to building towards a 16-division Army,〔Department of the Army Historical Summary: FY 1975, Ch VIII http://www.history.army.mil/books/DAHSUM/1975/ch08.htm〕 it was designated a corps support command (COSCOM). In 1992 the 13th COSCOM deployed to Somalia as part of Operation Restore Hope where for the first time a COSCOM was given the mission to provide theater-level support in a major U.S. operation.〔Joint logistics at the operational level--Where are we at and where are we going?, pg 41 http://cgsc.cdmhost.com/cgi-bin/showfile.exe?CISOROOT=/p4013coll3&CISOPTR=971&filename=972.pdf 〕 The 13th ESC has deployed to Iraq and served as the logistics command for hurricane relief efforts in support of the American people after hurricanes Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita devastated the Gulf Coast.
==Organization==
The 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) was constituted on 11 August 1965 in the Regular Army, and activated 24 September 1965 at Fort Hood, Texas as the 13th Support Brigade. The 13th Support Brigade was formed as the nation's involvement in Vietnam increased, and was tasked with the training of technical services units to assume combat service support missions in Southeast Asia. With reorganization from the "technical service" concept to the "combat service to the Army" concept, functional training of units was decentralized in the Continental Army Command to post, camp and station level.
The command continued to evolve due to increased missions and changing roles. Along with similar units, it was redesignated as 13th Corps Support Command (COSCOM) on 21 June 1975,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.13cca.org/documents/document2010-11-08-070857.pdf )〕 and then the 13th Support Command (Corps) on 16 October 1980.〔Department of the Army Historical Summary: FY 1980, pg 13 http://www.history.army.mil/books/dahsum/1980/ch02.htm#b1〕 As part of Army Transformation, it was reflagged to its current configuration as the 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) during a formal ceremony on 23 February 2006.
