The 3d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) is an American military unit. It derives its lineage from the 3rd Logistical Command, which was activated in Japan on 19 September 1950 for service in Korea. In garrison, the 3d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) provides command and control (training and readiness authority - TRA) of two sustainment brigades and one transportation company as well as administrative support for an engineer battalion. The 3d ESC also mentors other ESCs and sustainment brigades as they seek to improve their capabilities and/or prepare to deploy.

From June 20, 2008 until August 7, 2009, the 3d Sustainment Command deployed to Iraq for the third time and assumed responsibility for sustainment and distribution support for all Coalition forces in the Iraqi Theater of Operations. The command provided logistical support and base life support to over 300,000 soldiers and civilians across Iraq, while working with the Iraqi Army to improve their logistics capability and make them self-sufficient
