Supply
Supply is the acquiring, managing, receiving,
storing, and issuing all classes of supply,
except Class VIII, required to equip and sustain
Army forces
6
General Supply Support Basics

• Supplies will be tailored and packaged for
  specific supported units based on a specific time
  and location
• Reliance on throughput
• Supplies packaged based on type of unit and
  mission
• Distribution based instead of supply point based

7
Supply Planning Considerations

• Initial Requirements Determination
• Fill shortages in the initial issue
  (TOE/TDA/UBL)
• Status of authorized supplies
• Pre-deployment requirement/status
• Replacement and Consumption Requirements

Supply Platoon, Distribution Co, BSB
Provides the brigade a single source for all
supply (less Class I (water), III (bulk), and
VIII (medical)) operations. The supply platoon
maintains a mobile storage capability.
Supply Platoon Mission Provides Class I, II,
III (P), IV, V, VI, VII, and IX support to the
Bde Receives, stores, issues, and transloads
approximately 29 ST of Classes I, II, III (P), IV
(barrier material only) and CL VII supplies
daily Stores the third combat load for supported
units and provides these supplies to the forward
supported FSCs Carries the 2d and 3rd combat
loads for the brigade troops battalion (BTB) and
the BSB Receives and distributes, in conjunction
with the Transportation Platoon, Class I and VI
from the field ration issue point Receives and
issues Class VII as required
17
Forward Support Company, Distribution Platoon

• Key Tasks
• FSC CP and the BN S4 coordinate resupply site
  and quantity
• Provide supply status to BN S4
• FSC conducts resupply for maneuver companies
• FSCs are part of the BSB, but they locate in the
  rear of each maneuver battalion

FSC
18
Class I Principles

• Ice and water may be issued with Class I
• Class I supplies (meals, ready-to-eat (MREs)) are
  configured into unit configured loads by the BSB
  based on personnel strength reports.
• These pallet-sized loads will be delivered as
  logistics package (LOGPACs) by the BSBs
  transportation platoon conducting combat
  logistics patrols to the FSCs.
• Operational rations (MREs) will be used until the
  HBCT commander or higher determines that they are
  no longer needed (i.e. commander determines A
  rations are appropriate) or operational tempo
  (OPTEMPO) permits a meal cycle.
• The feeding standard is three quality meals each
  day, with the capability to distribute, prepare,
  and serve METT-TC dependent at least one Unitized
  Group Ration-A (UGR-A) or UGR-Heat Serve
  (UGR-HS) meal per day.

19
Ration Cycle and Issue Cycle
WHAT
Ration Cycle

WHEN
Issue Cycle
2-2-3

• Forecasting
• During initial stages of a conflict, all rations
  will be pushed forward (i.e. based on
  projected strength).
• Once battlefield stabilizes, will go to pull.
• The MRE is the primary packaged individual
  operational ration.

Field Ration Issue Point

• 3 Methods of Issue
• Truck to Truck (preferred method)
• Unit Pile (best method for control)
• Item Pile (used when time is limited for RIP
  personnel)
• Receipt/issue ideally in unit configured loads
  built on CROPs or pallets

Standardized 20ft Container Feeds 400 Soldiers
for 10 Days
.
22
Meal Types

• Meals Ready to Eat (MRE)
• Vegetarian/Halal Meals
• Humanitarian Daily Rations (HDR)
• Unitized Group Rations-Heat and Serve (UGR-HS)
• Unitized Group Rations-A (UGR-A)
• 21-Day CONOPS Menu

23
Class I Operations

• The distribution company of the BSB will deliver
  the configured loads to the in individual field
  feeding sections.
• The field feeding sections of the FSCs/BSB will
  exchange their empty refrigerated containers,
  CROPs, and any retrograde items for configured
  loads of perishable and semi-perishable
  subsistence in refrigerated containers and on
  CROPs.
• If the field feeding sections are being supported
  by a RIP, cooks will come back to draw rations
  from the RIP.
• Three Soldiers (MOS 92A) with forklifts are
  assigned as ration handlers in the general supply
  section of the supply platoon in the distribution
  company of the BSB.

24
Water Both a Supply a Field Service

• Water requirements
• Water purification is a field service
• Potable vs Non-potable
• Testing unit, support unit, and medical
• Engineers
• EPW/detainees/others in AOR

Bottled Water is the preferred method for
distribution of water during the initial stages
of an operation.

Standard Automated Retail Supply System

• SARSS - Automates stock record accounting and
  supply management for Classes II, III (package),
  IV, VII, and IX (less COMSEC) within the theater
  of operations and CONUS.
• ULLS - Each FSC company headquarters has a 92Y
  Unit Supply Sergeant with an ULLS-S4 box or
  property book unit supply enhancement (PBUSE)
  program to request internal supplies such as
  chemical gear, basic load, ammo, and combat
  rations. SAMS-1E is used to request CL IX.
• Note SARSS-2A at the DMMC and SARSS-2AC/B at
  the CMMC has been eliminated from the request
  flow.

27
Authorized Stockage List (ASL)
The ASL consist of those parts or supplies
stocked in supply units (SSAs) for issue to
customer units.

• Usually CL II, III(P), IV, and IX
• Managed with SARSS-1
• Class IX is stocked in the Distribution Co in BSB

Supporting Offensive Operations

• Plan resupply operations based on anticipated
  support needs of each subordinate unit
• Integrate resupply operations with the scheme of
  maneuver to ensure proper timing and to avoid
  interfering with likely or planned maneuver
  actions
• Plan locations of resupply operations in covered
  and concealed locations as far forward as
  possible
• Plan triggers for activating and deactivating
  collection points and LRPs based on the HBCTs
  movement and execution
• Coordinate the locations, displacements, and
  routes of sustainment assets and units to
  maintain responsive support
• Ensure the securing of MSRs is included in the
  tactical plan
• Consider using captured enemy supplies and
  equipment

45
Supporting Defensive Operations

• Avoid patterns of support to decrease
  interdiction
• Position the BSA and sustainment units as far to
  the rear as possible, but close enough to be
  responsive to maneuver units
• Vary LOGPAC times and LRP locations
• Perform LOGPACs and other routine logistics
  activities during limited visibility
• Avoid positioning sustainment sites and units
  along enemy ground/air avenues of approach,
  templated artillery, NBC, or situational obstacle
  strikes
• Coordinate movement and terrain requirements with
  maneuver plans and positioning of other units
  such as artillery

46
Supporting Defensive Operations (cont)

• Periodically move sustainment units based on the
  threat level to decrease their vulnerability of
  detection
• Maximize the use of cover and concealment,
  dispersion, and protection afforded by the
  terrain
• Push materials forward as soon as possible
• Maximize the use of Division or Corps sustainment
  brigade throughput
• Consider attaching additional transportation
  assets to engineers to support the movement of
  obstacle materials to construction sites

47
Supporting Defensive Operations (cont)
Class IV/V (Obstacle Material)

• Identify locations of CAB, BTB, and other unit
  Class IV/V points early by coordinating with the
  supporting engineer battalion (if present) CAB
  S4s or S3s
• Ensure Class IV/V points are centrally located to
  support directed obstacle belts, while remaining
  concealed from the enemy
• Coordinate sufficient manpower and
  material-handling equipment at each Class IV and
  V point
• Closely track the usage of Class IV and maintain
  the flexibility to shift materials

48
Supporting Reconstitution and Stability Operations

• Local purchase
• Joint partners
• Coalition partners
• Avoid alienating various factions

49
Supporting Urban Warfare

• Preconfigured LOGPACs are key
• Class I
• Rations
• Supplements
• Water
• Hygiene
• Class II
• Uniforms
• JSLIST
• Construction Material
• Increase Battery UBL
