Its logistics function is critical to successful operation of the sprawling mission of its military parent, the 21 st . The sustaining unit carries out the rebuilding of components such as engines and transmissions. It operates the general supply support for Army–Europe, Air Force–Europe and U.S. embassies in Europe.
