Surface Deployment & Distribution Command.

The Military Traffic Management Command changed its name on Jan. 1, 2004 the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC). This was made to reflect its role in deploying the forces. The name change defines the command's critical role in deploying the force and its emphasis on end-to-end distribution operations supporting warfighters. The change follows closely on the heels of the U.S. Transportation Command being designated as the Defense Department's Joint Distribution Process Owner. That is no coincidence. The Surface Deployment and Distribution Command will be a key enabler of a new and improved joint distribution system envisioned by USTRANSCOM.

SDDC is responsible for the global, joint movement of combat units, sustainment cargo, service member household goods and privately owned vehicles.
