Logistics Management > Supply Chain Management

The Columbia Group (TCG) consistently excels in providing required inventory in a timely and effective manner for customer materiel needs in both peacetime and combat environments. Serving as an implementer for United States Marine Corps Supply Chain Management, our staff expertise has enabled our clients to anticipate and successfully resolve seasonal and unanticipated changes in operational requirements and mission performance.

Our determination to provide the most cost beneficial inventory, warehousing, distribution and supply management services for our client operating forces and support establishments is representative of all TCG efforts. Our supply support activities have been pivotal in giving customers the right materiel, information and assistance to make the right decisions for the right outcomes.

TCG's personnel have been formally recognized as key in minimizing the cost of holding inventory, inventory risk, and alleviating supply choke points while enabling crucial delivery and timing of hundreds of major items for battalion levels on down. A hallmark of TCG is its capability to orchestrate positive outcomes in response to non-linear requirements for unplanned contingency or emergent time-sensitive transfer of materiel for deployments.
