KEEP IT MOVING Members of the Fort Hood, TX, Arrival/Departure Airfield Control Group (A/DACG) off-load an AH-64D Apache helicopter from a C-17 Globemaster on Fort Hood’s Robert Gray Army Airfield Nov. 14, 2013. The A/DACG coordinates, plans and executes the arrival, off-loading and departure of more than 10,000 tons of equipment and personnel every year. On a larger scale, AMC is seeking ways to improve the end-to-end management of spare parts, from supplier to Soldier, for the Army’s combat systems.

AMC is embracing forward-looking planning and problem-solving. Trough our current efforts and transformation initiatives to come, we can visualize long- range budget plans, demand forecasts and supply execution plans, and address any gaps before they become problematic. We are not sifting through measurements anymore; we are using meaningful met- rics. Te AMC workforce is shifting from transaction-based processes to analyt- ics. We have learned the importance of measuring the “right” elements and will continue to ensure that the Army’s sup- ply chain is efficient, relevant and always improving.


Te success of the AMC transformation is the result of the dedication, determi- nation and innovation of our people. Te transformation team is building the nec- essary relationships with the workforce through supply chain workshops and leadership development programs, both starting in FY15. We are dedicated to improving morale, communication and supply chain management training so that we can retain and recruit the best in the business.

PLANNING MAKES PERFECT Mark Harper, a transportation assistant with the Fort Hood, TX, A/DACG, discusses a load plan with Soldiers from the 42nd Combat Aviation Brigade as the unit prepared to deploy to Kuwait Nov. 21, 2013. AMC now has a challenge to shift from a reactive war environment to a proactive drawdown environment of managing and resolving supply chain issues before they become prob- lems.
