THE OPPORTUNITY

The United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) located at Scott Air Force Base (AFB), IL, is one of 11 Unified Combatant Commands (UCC). USTRANSCOM provides command and control (C2) for the synchronized transportation, distribution, and sustainment of personnel and assets, making possible the projection and maintenance of national power wherever needed with speed and agility, high efficiency, and a high level of trust and accuracy. USTRANSCOM operates the Common Computing Environment (CCE) surrounded by a network defense infrastructure. The USTRANSCOM CCE, supported by TCJ6 and USTRANSCOM Component Commands, is comprised of several operating systems on clients and servers, both physical and virtual.
