321st Materiel Management Center (MMC)
The pilot program for multi-component units is underway at the 321st Materiel Management Center (MMC) and its parent unit, the 377th Theater Support Command, both Louisiana-based USAR units. The 321st MMC performs supply and maintenance management for Third US Army units both in Southwest Asia and throughout the southeastern United States.
The MMC has AC and RC soldiers. Many of the AC soldiers are assigned to the 321st Forward Element in Kuwait. During peacetime, Reserve soldiers support the mission both from home bases in Louisiana by deploying on three-week annual training tours to Kuwait and by remaining prepared to deploy quickly in case of a crisis.
Like all Third Army major subordinate commands, the 321st MMC has operated as a multi-component unit for several years. It is formalizing the ad-hoc relationship by assigning all AC and RC soldiers to a single unit authorization document. This initiative eventually will solve many of the administrative challenges associated with tracking soldiers on multiple documents at different levels of the command structure. Also, it will improve unit efficiency and enhance readiness.
