Sustainment Center of Excellence (SCoE) 8(a) Suite

The SCoE will consolidate the missions and functions of the Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM), Quartermaster School, Transportation School, Ordnance School and Army Logistics University (ALU) formerly the Army Logistics Management College (ALMC). The SCoE is being established as the result of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 2005 Congressional decision to consolidate missions and functions at Fort Lee, VA; with the Ordnance Mechanical Maintenance School moving from Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD; the Ordnance Munitions and Electronics Maintenance School from Redstone Arsenal, AL; and elements of the Transportation School moving from Fort Eustis, VA. The SCoE brings together these schools, and as a single organization is responsible for nearly all Army sustainment training, leader education, and associated combat developments. Ordnance School trains in the fields of material maintenance and integrated material management, ground mobility material, logistics management (ammunition supply, maintenance, and life cycle), Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), and combat support and combat service support tests. Quartermaster School trains supply, field services, aerial delivery, and mortuary affairs. Transportation School trains current and future Army transportation capability, Intermodal Operations, Maritime, and rail. ALU will become the lifelong learning center for Professional Military Education (Officer Education System (OES), Warrant Officer Education System (WOES), and Noncommissioned Officer Education System (NCOES)), Civilian Education, and Joint, Multinational and Interagency education.
