CAMP TAJI, Iraq –Gen. Benjamin Griffin, commander, Army Material Command, spoke with leaders and Soldiers of the 15th Sustainment Brigade during a visit, Feb. 24, to the "WagonMaster" footprint at Camp Taji, Iraq.
Providing the primary logistics and support for all units within Multi-National Division-Baghdad, Col. Aundre Piggee, 15th SB Commander, explained the role the brigade plays.
"Baghdad is the center of gravity," said Piggee. "We support all forces operating in this battle space."
In addition to units in the Baghdad area, the 15th SB maintains logistical control over site and support to troops from Kalsu to the Jordanian border.
During a command brief, Griffin voiced concern over the relationship a sustainment brigade needs to have with supported units. Namely, the ability to adapt and change to supply and support needs in a fluid combat environment.
"I think you've done a great job with that," he said of the 15th SB.
Piggee said that the linchpin to the success the "WagonMaster's" have had comes from adherence to the fundamentals of leadership, standards, discipline and training.
"We've been able to meet every requirement," he said. "We don't expect any challenges."
