PANDEMIC RESPONSE
Through its subordinate Army Medical Logistics Command, CECOM has distributed PPE and essential medical supplies, including surgical masks, N95 respirator masks, gloves, surgical gowns, hand sanitizer, touchless infrared thermometers and specimen collection kits, to troops overseas in some of the hardest hit regions.
centers, school age centers, fitness centers and Army Community Services programs and offices. Also, Army leaders have joined DOD in continuing to address spouse employment during the pandemic through virtual hiring fairs and other initiatives. We will remain focused on caring for our people and improving quality of life, because our people are our No. 1 priority.
COVID-19 impacted permanent change- of-station moves, and our workforce helped Soldiers and their families to ensure a safe and seamless move. From health protection levels changing at garrisons and stay-at-home orders, to passport and visa delays, the Army met the challenges of the 2020 PCS season, safely completing more than 72,000 moves with quality assurance inspections on 97 percent of those moves. Also, to aid in the safe moves for service members, civilians and families, moving companies are ensuring that their employ- ees wear face coverings, reducing crew sizes to enable social distancing, routinely cleaning frequently touched surfaces and practicing good hand hygiene.
The bottom line is that while AMC responds to the pandemic, the command is working to improve quality of life for Soldiers and their families, teaming with private housing companies to improve
living conditions, maximizing the avail- ability and affordability of child care and youth services, increasing opportunities and facilitating employment of Army spouses, and providing timely, quality service to Soldiers throughout the move process.
AMC also has not lost sight of its world- wide missions. Equipment fieldings impacted by COVID-19 happened virtu- ally or were rescheduled. We did not close the doors on the organic industrial base. AMC continued to meet production requirements.
During this time, AMC also made strides in financial management. In October, it expanded its financial management mission as the U.S. Army Financial Management Command assumed the Army’s military pay mission from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service.
CONCLUSION While providing materiel and installation readiness, AMC has embraced the region- ally aligned readiness and modernization model, or REARMM. AMC will work in conjunction with Army Forces Command to create the Modernization Displacement and Repair Site initiative, improving effi- ciencies, accelerating divestiture operations
and allowing new equipment fielding across the Army to increase.
As we navigate the uncertainties of this pandemic, one thing is clear. AMC will keep doing what it does best—taking care of our people and supporting the warfighter.
