CAMP TAHREER, Kuwait - Senior leaders from 1st Sustainment Command (Theater) and 3rd Sustainment Brigade out of Fort Stewart, Georgia, met with Kuwait National Guard Sustainment Command leadership, Oct. 30, at Camp Tahreer, Kuwait.

Brig. Gen. Daniel Mitchell, 1st TSC deputy commander, Sgt. Maj. Samuel Jones, 1st TSC Operational Command Post sergeant major, Col. Anthony Coston, 3rd Sust. Bde. commander and Command Sgt. Maj. Lenard Summers, 3rd Sust. Bde command sergeant major, met with KNG Brig. Gen. Faleh Shuja' Faleh Al-Otaibi, commander of KNG Sustainment Command.

During the meeting they discussed their experiences, best practices and issues they have encountered during sustainment operations in Kuwait. U.S. service members were given a tour of the Camp Tahreer maintenance facility where they had the opportunity to see warehouses, workshops, vehicles and equipment used by the KNG. The KNG Sustainment Command conducts maintenance of tactical and non-tactical vehicles as well as supporting KNG units throughout Kuwait. The 1st TSC and 3rd Sust. Bde. provide sustainment for U.S. and coalition forces throughout U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility in southwest Asia.

First TSC and 3rd Sust. Bde. have conducted several bi-lateral exercises and exchanges with the KNG’s Sustainment Command, learning more about their respective techniques in sustainment operations. The commands plan to conduct more exchanges in the coming months.
