3d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Mission Statement - Provide a deployable, expeditionary command and control capability for echelons above brigade logistics units. Provide theater logistics C2 for the theater commander supporting the Army Forces (ARFOR) or Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF) mission.

The 3d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) derives its lineage from the 3d Logistical Command, which was activated in Japan on 19 September 1950 for service in Korea. In September 2006, 3d COSCOM personnel began preparations to relocate the unit colors for the sixth time in its history. The unit moved to Fort Knox, Kentucky in June 2007 and on September 16, 2007 the 3d COSCOM transformed into the 3d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary).

After relocating to Fort Knox, the unit received personnel, equipment, and the mission to redeploy for a third-time to Iraq. On 20 June 2008 the 3d Sustainment Command assumed responsibility for sustainment and distribution support for all Coalition Forces in the Iraqi Theater of Operations.
