Military Traffic Management Command

The Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) was established in 1974 as a major command within the United States Army, responsible for managing the global movement of military cargo and personnel. MTMC played a crucial role in coordinating transportation logistics during major operations, such as the Gulf War, ensuring timely delivery of equipment and supplies to deployed forces. The command operated ports, managed rail and highway movements, and worked closely with commercial transportation providers. In 2004, MTMC was reorganized and redesignated as the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC), continuing its vital mission under a new name.
