Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Field manual (FM) describes how logistics operations take place in the Brigade Support Area of Operations. It is primarily focused on how the brigade support battalion (BSB) performs its mission, but it also addresses the roles and functions of other sustainment elements within the brigade combat team (BCT) as well as those organizations external to the BCT that provide logistics and individual Soldier support services. This field manual was written for BSB staff officers and non-commissioned officers. Knowing that many are assigned to battalion staffs prior to advanced formal education, this manual provides all a general idea of functions performed by each unit and staff section assigned to the BSB. Chapter 1 is a review of modular force logistics and the various types of brigade combat teams and support brigades; Chapter 2 explains the role of the BSB, including the headquarters company and staff, and briefly describes the role of the Aviation Support Battalion (ASB); Chapter 3 covers the organizational structure and function of the distribution Company; Chapter 4 covers the role and organization of the field maintenance company; Chapter 5 provides detailed information on the brigade support medical company; Chapter 6 describes another key component of the brigade support battalion—the forward support company. Logisticians and Soldier support specialists, enabled by technological advances, provide support essential to the BCT during the full spectrum of military operations: offense, defense, stability operations, and civil support. Sustainment facilitates uninterrupted BCT operations, and it is carried out through the replenishment of supplies, maintenance of equipment, and performance of other services. BCTs have a significant organic capability to sustain their own operations, which serves to ensure freedom of action, extend operational reach, and prolong endurance.

This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-90 Brigade Support Battalion April 2014, describes the brigade support battalion (BSB) role, organization and operations in support of a brigade combat team (BCT) or support brigade. ATP 4-90 is a revision of FM 4-90, Brigade Support Battalion, last published in 2010. This ATP was written for commanders, staffs and Soldiers assigned to a brigade support battalion, the brigade combat team and the support brigades. It provides relevant information to echelon above brigade sustainment organizations. ATP 4-90 provides information on the role and functions of each organization within the BSB. ATP 4-90 clarifies existing BSB doctrine. The intent is to frame the BSB in the context of its role within its supported brigade as opposed to its role within the sustainment system. This is accomplished by eliminating discussion about modular logistics and focusing on BSB operations. The updates to ATP 4-90 account for mission command philosophy, emerging Army vision and implementation of Global Combat Support System-Army Field/Tactical (GCSS-Army (F/T). Language and content of the manual are consistent with current doctrine guidelines. This is primarily accomplished by removing functional details from the chapters describing the subordinate companies and referring the reader to the appropriate functional ATP. Organization graphics are updated with known organizational changes and GCSS-Army (F/T) operations are annotated where appropriate. The aviation support battalion's role, organization and operations are consolidated into a single chapter. All text related to mission command warfighting functions and log reporting is consolidated into a single chapter which includes an expanded section on mission command systems and command post (CP) operations. There are three appendices: an echelon of support appendix, a brigade support area (BSA) appendix and a current Stryker brigade combat team appendix. Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-90 Brigade Support Battalion April 2014 contains eight chapters: Chapter 1 includes the role of the BSB, how the BSB supports the sustainment warfighting function and decisive action tasks. The chapter also includes BSB concept of support and descriptions of echelon above brigade units that would support the BSB and the BSB supported brigades. Chapter 2 lists the battalions' capabilities and BSB headquarters and staff organization. Of note are the duties of specific staff elements and how they integrate with the supported brigade's staff. There is also a section on how the BSB fits within its supported brigade. Section four includes the battlefield surveillance brigade's (BFSB) brigade support company role, organization and operations. Chapter 3 provides an overview of the distribution company and includes recent capability updates. Chapter 4 is about the field maintenance company. Chapter 5 describes the brigade support medical company (BSMC) and includes the BSMC's role, organization graphic and BSMC operations. Chapter 6 provides the role, organization and operations of the aviation support battalion (ASB). The ASB is both structured differently and operates differently from the BSB. Chapter 7 is about the forward support company (FSC). The chapter identifies the role of the FSC, the FSC organization and describes what the FSC does. The chapter also includes a discussion of the FSC commander's role and command relationship between the FSC, the BSB and the supported battalion. Chapter 8 is mission command and logistic reporting. The content includes operations process, command post operations, mission command systems available to accomplish logistic reporting and a section on logistic reporting.

Download or read book The Other End of the Spear written by John J. Mcgrath and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at several troop categories based on primary function and analyzes the ratio between these categories to develop a general historical ratio. This ratio is called the Tooth-to-Tail Ratio. McGrath's study finds that this ratio, among types of deployed US forces, has steadily declined since World War II, just as the nature of warfare itself has changed. At the same time, the percentage of deployed forces devoted to logistics functions and to base and life support functions have increased, especially with the advent of the large-scale of use of civilian contractors. This work provides a unique analysis of the size and composition of military forces as found in historical patterns. Extensively illustrated with charts, diagrams, and tables.
