6th Medical Logistics Management Center
The 6th Medical Logistics Management Center (MLMC) is a multi-component unit to provide centralized information management of medical (Class VIII)material, medical equipment maintenance, and blood to deployed forces.
The MLMC was established October 13, 2000, replacing the deactivated 6th Theater Medical Materiel Management Center. The MLMC's forward teams provide total asset visibility for medical materiel in an operational theater and enroute to the theater. The MLMC base unit links theater Class VIII commodity requirements with distribution systems to get medical supplies and equipment into the theater.
In addition, the MLMC integrates and coordinates strategic medical logistics actions between the theater(s) and the service agencies responsible for medical logistics: U.S. Army Medical Materiel Agency, Air Force Medical Logistics Office, Naval Medical Logistics Command, and Defense Supply Center Philadelphia.
The center's responsibilities include: reviewing and analyzing demands and computing theater medical commodity requirements; evaluating the workload, capabilities, and asset positions of supported Medical Logistics Battalions; and directing cross-leveling of workload or resources to achieve capability and maximum efficiency. MLMC provides mapping for Class VIII commodity and distribution pipelines, as well as medical materiel information management data and reports to key organizations.
