ASC Distribution Management Center (DMC) Provides Materiel Management Capability

The U.S. Army Sustainment Command ASC, headquartered at Rock Island, IL, provides combat service support capability to soldiers serving in CONUS and OCONUS units to ensure expeditionary warfighting readiness and leverage national logistics to sustain a transforming Army at war. The ASM Distribution Management Center DMC is the single interface for the synchronization and integration of logistical functions among active Army units in CONUS, Army Commands, U.S. Army Forces Commands FORSCOM, FORSCOM Direct Reporting Units, Installation Management Command IMCOM, Logistics Support Activity LOGSA, and the Life Cycle Management Commands. As ASCs materiel management element, DMC is responsible for many of the materiel management functions previously performed by the former Division Materiel Management Centers Corps Materiel Management Centers in CONUS. It accomplishes its mission with an integrated team of Soldiers, government service employees, and contractors assigned to Rock Island, as well as forward-positioned Distribution Management Teams DMTs at 15 major Army installations throughout CONUS, Alaska, and Hawaii. The current DMC structure provides the benefit of centralization, standardization, and stabilization of materiel management in CONUS. DMC support becomes particularly important with the continuous rotations of FORSCOM sustainment brigades SBDEs in and out of theater.
