Deployment Support Command (DSC) Reserve Units
U.S. Army Reserve and Naval Reserve units are vital assets to the Deployment Support Command. These Reserve units provide the capability to handle major deployments by augmenting active duty forces during a mobilization or national emergency. Reservists provide more than 65 percent of the support needed, although some missions such as port security and railway operations are performed solely by Reserve units. To work quickly and effectively when called upon, reservists train and participate in exercises year round with the Deployment Support Command's active-duty units. DSC has the responsibility to train all MTMC WARTRACED Units.
Port Security Companies/Detachments (PSC/PSD) provide physical security services at MTMC port facilities for equipment and ammunition, both in transit and in storage, through CONUS and OCONUS ports.
Deployment Support Brigades (DSB) plan and assist in the execution of the staging and outloading of organic unit equipment and vehicles for deploying units at the moving unit's installation or origin. The DSBs will normally deploy movement teams to operate at Department of Defense (DOD) installations or power projection platforms and power support platforms in CONUS as directed by Commander of MTMCDSC.
Transportation Terminal Brigades (TTBde)/Transportation Terminal Battalions (TTBn) plan and operate water terminals for the movement of DOD cargo, unit equipment, resupply and retrograde shipments through MTMC ports in CONUS.
Transportation Rail Operating Battalion (TROBn) support railway terminal operations, train operations, and maintenance-of-railway functions within the installation, and related platforms of deployment/redeployment.
