On 31 December 1965, the unit was re-designated as the 377th Support Brigade under the Army Logistical Concept. On 16 October 1979, it was renamed the 377th Corps Support Command. It retained the designation until 16 July 1981 when it was designated as a Theater Army Area Command (TAACOM). On 1 October 1998 the TAACOM wartime mission expanded and the unit designation was changed to the 377th Theater Support Command.
The TSC serves as a Force Support Package unit with an ongoing support mission in its area of operation. Over 500 downtrace units throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands provide support to the TSC for training and wartime mission guidance. Whether at home station, deployed across the country or overseas, the TSC trains to achieve its peacetime and wartime mission of providing command and control of assigned units to ensure and maintain a high state of readiness. The TSC prepares wartime-aligned units to accomplish their mission by developing, executing and evaluating training. The TSC provides daily logistics support to its wartime higher headquarters for missions and exercises.[1]
