"On October 1, 2008, the Army recognized the formal establishment of the Army Contracting Command as a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Materiel Command.

There are three parts to the Army Contracting Command: Expeditionary Contracting Command Brigades, Mission Installation Contracting Commands, and Contracting centers.
Expeditionary Contracting Command was a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Contracting Command headquartered at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The one-star command was organized to accomplish its global operational missions through its nine Contracting Support Brigades, seventeen Contingency Contracting Battalions, sixteen Senior Contingency Contracting Teams, and ninety-two Contingency Contracting Teams.[3] Expeditionary Contracting Command was discontinued and merged with Army Contracting Command on October 1, 2017.[4]
Headquartered at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, the Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC)[5] is a one-star command. It is made up of more than 1,500 military and civilian members assigned to three contracting support brigades, one field directorate office and 33 field offices throughout the nation and Puerto Rico that provide contracting support across the Army.
