Sustainment Center of Excellence

According to the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), a CoE is, "a premier organization that creates the highest standards of achievement in an assigned sphere of expertise by generating synergy through effective and efficient combination and integration of functions while reinforcing the unique requirements and capabilities of the branches".

The Sustainment Center of Excellence was sometimes unofficially referred to as the "SCoE Nation" by its military and civilian members during its early years.

Its intended purposes was to create a new tradition that encourages a sense of belonging, of camaraderie and esprit de corps within the organization.

The torch of knowledge symbolizes the training functions of the center to transform service members into proficient logistic leaders and soldiers.

The five stars represent the five major elements of sustainment – maintenance, supply, transportation, human resources, and financial services.
