Not a transportation component command under USTRANSCOM?

• A. Air Mobility Command
• B. Military Sealift Command
• C. Surface Deployment and Distribution Command
• D. Expeditionary Sustainment Command

Answer: (D)

USTRANSCOM coordinates three transportation component commands, each representing a different mode of movement: Air Mobility Command handles airlift and other air-based mobility; Military Sealift Command provides sea lift and related logistics using ships; and Surface Deployment and Distribution Command plans and executes surface movement and distribution of cargo and personnel. The Expeditionary Sustainment Command, on the other hand, is part of the Army’s sustainment structure and focuses on delivering supply and support to Army forces within a theater, not on operating as a joint transportation component under USTRANSCOM. So it is not a transportation component command under USTRANSCOM.
