From Preface: In January 2003 the Operations Support Command (OSC) became the Joint Munitions Command (JMC). The Joint Munitions Command was retitled to introduce its mission to provide support to all military Services. As FSC's missions gained stature it was renamed the U.S. Army Field Support Command (AFSC), and it was aligned as an AMC Major Subordinate Command on 2 July 2003. At this point the Joint Munitions Command was positioned as a subordinate of AFSC. From FY03 AFSC/JMC Executive Summary (page 1): The command's greatest success in FY03 was support on the ground in SWA of OIF and OEF. AMC LSE SWA led the effort to provide AMC horizontally coordinated logistics support to all forces - Army, joint, and multi-national, in SWA. AFSC's Forward Logistics Support Elements were with every combat unit in SWA. An additional O6 level AMC LSE Iraq was established in LSA Anaconda, Balad, Iraq. AFSC multimedia communications systems provided a digital communications backbone that was the envy of tactical units and, on a few occasions, was hijacked by tactical logistics commanders to ensure they could communicate in support of tactical operations. AFSC commanders in Kuwait coordinated the push of materiel into the combat areas. When combat conditions changed, AFSC units were instrumental in adding armor to HMMWVs, providing air and ground maintenance facilities and support in Iraq, expediting and managing LOGCAP life support contracts, inventorying and returning to the system abandoned Class IX repair parts, and expediting the turn-in of APS equipment for veteran combat units that could return home. Everything the command accomplished in FY2003 was focused on ensuring that tactical units of all services and from many countries, engaged with the enemy, had sustained combat readiness.
