AMC — The Army's Materiel Integrator

 

The U.S. Army Materiel Command develops and delivers materiel readiness solutions to ensure globally dominant land force capabilities. Headquartered at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, Army Materiel Command is one of four Army Commands. AMC synchronizes and integrates the Army's total capabilities in support of the Chief of Staff of the Army’s priorities and Combatant Command requirements. As the Army’s Lead Materiel Integrator, Army Materiel Command manages the global supply chain, synchronizing logistics and sustainment activities across the Army.

 

AMC Priorities

People

Army Materiel Command's roughly 165,000-strong military, civilian and contractor workforce is the command's greatest resource and the core of the command's support to the Warfighter. With People as the Army and AMC's top priority, the command is responsible for four of the Quality of Life initiatives set by the Chief of Staff of the Army: Housing, Child Care, Spouse Employment and PCS Moves. 

 

Readiness

Army Materiel Command continues to synchronize, integrate and operationalize its capabilities, providing installation and materiel readiness to meet current and future requirements. From managing the Army's Organic Industrial Base to increasing supply availability, AMC ensures Soldiers have the equipment and materiel they need from the installation to the forward tactical edge, strengthening Army readiness.

 

Modernization

Army Materiel Command logisticians and sustainers are fully embedded within every Army modernization effort and initiative, ensuring sustainment is considered early in the development phase, and driving supply chain and sustainment efficiencies in lockstep with planned improvements and upgrades to equipment. AMC is the lead for divesting legacy systems, freeing up space for new equipment, and for modernization of Army installations and strategic power projection capabilities worldwide.

 

Mission

Army Materiel Command delivers precision sustainment and materiel readiness to an expeditionary global force from the Joint Strategic Support Area to the tactical point of contact across the spectrum of conflict in support of the Joint Force.

 

Vision

Army Materiel Command is the premier enterprise postured to support a global Joint Force with predictive and precision sustainment.
