Recent Federal Service

​During the 2010-2011 deployment to Afghanistan, the unit served as the core element of Joint Sustainment Command-Afghanistan (JSC-A), which earned the Joint Meritorious Unit Award. 184th Soldiers deployed during that time are authorized permanent wear of the Joint Meritorious Unit Award ribbon.

From January 11, 2005, to December 7, 2006, the unit deployed two detachments in support of Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom. The 184th Transportation Command Element (Forward)’s Container Management Element established an aggressive and robust program to manage more than 141,000 shipping containers throughout the Central Command’s Area of Responsibility. Through the initiation, implementation, enforcement and sustainment of the Container Management Support Tool (CMST), the Container Management Element gave senior logisticians throughout the Army, and supporting civilian agencies, the ability to globally manage their shipping processes. By emplacing Container Assistance Teams in Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan, the Container Management Team was able to reduce detention-drawing containers in Afghanistan by 13%. Detention-drawing containers sent to Iraq were reduced to less than 0.24% (representing 20,000 containers) through the implementation of a transload operation in Kuwait. More than 2,800 CMST users were trained globally, including European and Pacific Command logisticians, establishing CMST as the Theater Container Manager. As direct result of the Container Management Element’s efforts, more than 39,500 detention-drawing containers were returned to their perspective carriers, decreasing the average monthly detention bill for OIF/OEF containers by $14,485,030. The expected annual saving to the American Citizen will exceed $174 million per year.
