SDDC creates transportation terminal group in Kuwait
Army Logistician, Jan-Feb, 2005
The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) stood up a new group headquarters in October at Camp Spearhead near the port of Ash Shuiaba, Kuwait--the 595th Transportation Terminal Group (Provisional). Until the establishment of this group, soldiers and civilians detailed from two existing SDDC groups provided SDDC's presence in the U.S. Central Command area of operations. First was the 598th Transportation Terminal Group at Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Then port and container management operations in Iraq, Kuwait, and other Persian Gulf countries were performed by an ad hoc unit known as SDDC Southwest Asia that was drawn largely from the 599th Transportation Terminal Group at Wheeler Army Airfield in Hawaii.
The 595th group headquarters was created to increase continuity with the warfighter, host nation authorities, and commercial carriers operating in the region and enhance SDDC responsibilities in end-to-end deployment and distribution support throughout the theater.
The 595th initially will be staffed by 40 soldiers and 40 civilians. Formation of the 595th gives SDDC four operating groups. The others are the 598th, the 599th, and the 597th Transportation Terminal Group at Sunny Point, North Carolina.
