The 316th Sustainment Command is the U.S. Army’s first transformation-era modular ESC unit, and the first to deploy to Iraq. The 316th transformed from a traditionally structured force to one designed to better address sustained military operations and missions and the nation’s emergency rapid response.

While in Iraq (August 2007-June 2008), the 316th ESC, composed of more than 20,000 sustainment Soldiers, synchronized and provided logistical support to U.S. units (165,000), Multi-National Coalition partners and Iraqi Forces in support of all operations. That support translated into everything from bullets to beans, fuel to maintenance parts and coordinating certain human resource services (liaison teams, personnel replacements, finance).<ref>{{cite web|title=316th Sustainment Command History|url=http://www.usar.army.mil/ourstory/commands/377TSC/316ESC/Pages/Overview.aspx|publisher=US Army|accessdate=28 July 2012}}</ref>
