U.S. Combined Arms Support Command hosted the DCG-S Course at Fort Lee, Virginia, on October 27-28. Deputy Commanding Generals for Support and Sustainment Brigade Commanders from the active Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve attended the two-day course.

Why it matters

The course updates Army sustainment leaders on the sustainment warfighting functions they are responsible for synchronizing across units. CASCOM hosts the course one to two times a year, giving leaders from all three components a recurring forum for shared doctrine and training.

The DCG-S course runs two days and is hosted by CASCOM one to two times a year. The extraction does not specify attendee numbers or any measurable outcomes from the course.

The players

U.S. Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM)

CASCOM is the Army command responsible for sustainment, logistics and training at Fort Lee, Virginia, and it hosts the DCG-S course.

The details

Day one covered the broader sustainment warfighting system and a Lessons Learned panel from former DCG-S officers. Day two featured overview briefings from the Finance, Adjutant General, Transportation, Ordnance, and Quartermaster commandants, and attendees visited commandants' areas to see how to inspect a Supply Support Activity, inspect a motor pool, and run a command discipline program.

Military Training Pipeline

The DCG-S course is one of the recurring sustainment training offerings CASCOM runs one to two times a year at Fort Lee. Its October 27-28 session extends that routine cadence to deputy commanders across the active Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve.

The course is hosted at Fort Lee, Virginia, and recurs one to two times a year, so sustainment personnel can plan for future sessions. The next offering date has not been announced in the extraction.

The takeaway

Sustainment leaders across all three Army components train together at the DCG-S course, which keeps supply, transportation and rear-area coordination consistent across the force.
