Summary:[...]the TSC executes mission command of sustainment operations. Using the 21st TSC as an example, during steady-state operations, the TSC's span of control includes a sustainment brigade (for theater opening), a military police brigade, a medical brigade, a special troops battalion, and various company-sized direct reporting units. The Sustainment COP The TSC maintains the theater's sustainment common operational picture (COP), ensuring both commanders and staffs at all levels can visualize the sustainment health of all organizations across the theater. Since the TSC is responsible for executing the combatant commander's priorities of sustainment by directing the movement of assets, the TSC staff needs a complete view of sustainment across theater. At any given time, the 21st TSC can provide direct support to multiple exercises across the continent, manage logistics support areas for an aviation brigade deploying into integration sites in the Baltics and Balkans, while exercising tactical control of an armored brigade combat team moving from its training area to the Port of Bremerhaven, Germany.
