SDDC

The Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) is a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Materiel Command, established in 1974 as the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC). Its primary mission is to provide global surface deployment and distribution services to meet the needs of the U.S. military, including the planning, booking, and management of the movement of cargo and personnel by land and sea. In 2004, MTMC was redesignated as SDDC to reflect its expanded role in strategic mobility and distribution operations. Today, SDDC is headquartered at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, and plays a vital role in supporting joint and multinational operations by ensuring the efficient and secure movement of military equipment and supplies worldwide.
