The 11 CSS functions include:
13
• Strategic Level -
National-Strategic - Theater-Strategic
• Operational Level
• Tactical Level
CSS Levels of War
16
Operational Level of CSS
• Links the strategic and tactical levels
• Support personnel at this level coordinate support from the strategic level to meet the needs at the tactical level
• Includes the support required to conduct campaigns, major operations, and other operations within the AO
17
Operational Level of CSS
• Focuses on: – RSO&I (reception, staging, onward
movement, and integration)– Materiel management, movement
control, and distribution management
– Allocation and management and redeployment of units and Soldiers
– Sustainment of theater stocks supporting the supply system
– Planning, coordinating, managing, and supervising CSS activities
– LOCs to tactical units • Ground and Air
18
Tactical Level of CSS
• Includes all functions necessary to support the conduct of battles and engagements
• Provides key CSS functions necessary to meet the commander’s intent and concept of operations
• Provides the most immediate level of CSS
“Where the rubber
meets the road.”
19
Tactical Level of CSS
• Focuses on:– Supporting the commander’s intent
and concept of operation to maximize his freedom of action
– Providing the right support at the right time
– Providing four key CSS functions:• Supply• Maintenance• Transportation• Health Service Support

Brigade Combat Team Logistics Principles
• Dedicated logistics operator
• Increased velocity with reduced order-to-receipt
time
• Situational understanding achieved with the
assistance of a logistics common operating
picture (LCOP)
• An agile logistics system
21
Logistics Principles (1 of 2)
• Dedicated logistics operator– Incorporates unity of command– Single point of contact– Centralizes distribution
• Increased velocity with reduced order-to-receipt time– Time required for the customer to get supplies– Effective command and control– Throughput distribution
22
Logistics Principles (2 of 2)
• Situational understanding achieved with the assistance of a common operating picture (LCOP)– Friendly situation (FBCB2, BFT)– Enemy situation (FBCB2, ASAS-L)– Logistics situation (BCS3, MTS, STAMIS)
• An agile logistics system– Surge support– Paint a picture– Flexibility to anticipate
change
23
Eight Characteristics of Combat Service Support
• Responsiveness
• Economy
• Simplicity
• Flexibility
• Integration
• Attainability
• Sustainability
• Survivability
24
CSS Characteristics
1. Responsiveness
• The key characteristic of CSS
• The right support in the right place at the right time
• Meet changing requirements on short notice
• Tailor assets to meet changing priorities
• Requires visibility of all available assets
• Critical anticipation of requirements
– Ability to foresee future operations 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours out
– Identify and accumulate the minimum assets to meet support requirements
– Ensure CSS capabilities are versatile
– Estimate predictions of potential future operations
25
CSS Characteristics
2. Economy
• Most efficient support to accomplish the mission
• Resources are always limited
• Reflects the reality of resource shortfalls
• Requires prioritizing and allocation of resources by the commander
• Avoid duplication of effort when possible
3. Simplicity
• Avoids complexity in both planning and execution
• Mission orders, drills, rehearsals, and SOPs
26
CSS Characteristics
4. Flexibility
• Ability to adapt CSS structures and procedures to
changing situations, missions, and concepts of
operations
• May require improvisation
– Necessary to provide continuous support, since established
procedures may not provide needed support
– Requires a willingness to devise new procedures and the talent
to make, invent, arrange, or fabricate what is needed out of what
is at hand
27
CSS Characteristics
5. Integration
• CSS plan is synchronized with all aspects of the concept of operations
• Requires a thorough understanding of the commander's intent
• Uses support from joint, multinational, or interagency CSS organizations
6. Attainability
• Generating the minimum supplies and services necessary to begin operations
• Determined by the commander and requires close coordination between operations and logistics planners
28
CSS Characteristics
7. Sustainability
• The ability to maintain continuous support during all phases of the campaign or operation
• Anticipation of requirements over time and synchronizing delivery of sustainment stocks throughout the operation
• Perform roles to attain minimum combat power, then provide additional resources to sustain long-term operations
8. Survivability
• The ability to shield support functions from destruction or degradation
• Robust and redundant support contributes to survivability, but may run counter to economy
29
Multifunctional and Functional CSS Units
Multifunctional: A CSS unit organized to perform two or more different CSS functions. They are found at both the Corps and Division levels.
e.g. Brigade Support Battalion, Sustainment Brigade, and Forward Support Company
Functional: The unit is organized to perform one specific logistics function in nature. Found at the Corps level.
e.g. Water Supply Battalion and Petroleum Supply Battalion
31
Operational Reach and Sustainability
• The distance and duration we can successfully employ our military capabilities
• Reflects the operating ranges of combat and supporting forces
• If operational reach is exceeded, a culminating point occurs
Desert Shield - 1990Desert Shield - 1990Civil War - circa 1860Civil War - circa 1860
32
Operational Reach and Sustainability
• Two fundamental factors affect operational reach:
– Support: level, source, locations, and resources– Materiel: stocks on hand and resupply availability
• Extending operational reach– Adjust support and/or materiel factors– Secure lines of communication (LOC) forward– Reposition distribution systems– Use intermediate/theater staging bases (ISB/TSB)
Operational reach is the distance over which military power can be employed decisively.
Sustainability relates to the ability of the force to conduct operations over time.

Logistics Transformation
51
Distribution Based Logistics
• Relates to the CSS pipeline activities of receiving, sending, and moving resources
• Involves supply and transportation functions
• Requires synchronization through all levels
• The challenge is meshing materiel and movement through all levels to create a seamless system as well as providing total asset visibility

53
BSB Movement Techniques
• Movement of BSB within the HBCT formation
• Critical logistics assets provide DS to combat units
• Support from BSA/displace as an entity
• BSA echelonment/displacement by bounds
54
Movement of BSB within the HBCT Formation
• Likelihood of enemy contact is minimal
• Logistics demands on the BSB are expected to be light
• Subordinate battalions will use organic assets and basic loads
• Sufficient time is anticipated for the BSB to set up prior to mission execution
• “Tailgate Support”
• BSB typically travels at the rear of the brigade’s formation with the brigade troops
BSB
BTB
55
Attachment of Critical CSS Assets
• Most responsive method
• Operational distances are significant and secure ground and/or air LOCs cannot be established or maintained
• Normally only critical classes of supply– “Tuck Up Packages” – “35MM” Class III(B) and V, Maintenance, and
FHP assets
• Increases the maneuver unit’s CSS capabilities
• Increases vulnerability and reduces mobility of the BSB CSS
CSSBSB
56
Displace as an Entity
• Brigade operations conducted in clearly defined phases with identifiable windows between operations
• Allows BSB to support from a mature logistical base
• Enhances C2 of the BSB
• Provides a single point for DS activities
• Creates a “logistical blackout” of support during the BSB’s move if a FLE is not established

57
Forward Logistics Elements and Bases (FLE/FLB)
• FLE: The equipment, personnel, and supplies that
are echeloned to a forward location to provide
continuous support during fast moving operations
• FLB: Refers to the geographic area on the ground
– May be occupied by the FLE
– Often becomes the location of the new BSA
– Typically under control of the SPO
– An example of displacement by echelon/bounds
movement technique
– It is critical to have a save plan (emergency rearward
displacement of critical logistical assets) FLEBSB
FLBFLB
58
BSA Echelonment/Displace by Bounds
• Operations requiring continuous support
• Critical CSS assets are divided
• BSB commander moves with forward element
• Provides more responsive support by minimizing the distance the BSB must travel to issue supplies
• Enhances survivability of CSS assets
• Degrades C2 of BSB operations

Task Force Trains Concept
• Centralized Trains: Used in assembly areas and during extended tactical marches. Provides the most immediate support to their parent battalion.
• Echeloned Trains: Preferred method of employing organic assets during tactical operations. Consists of company trains, battalion combat trains, and the CABSA trains, with the composition varying according to METT-TC.
60
Company Trains
• Located in the maneuver company’s rear area
• Consists of:– Medical Evacuation Team (with up to 2-M113
ambulances)
– Field Maintenance Teams
• Under control of the company First Sergeant – Establishes priority of work for the maintenance
team
– Coordinates casualty evacuation for the company
• The First Sergeant coordinates resupply with the S4 located in the battalion’s combat trains
• Within ½ to 1km of the FLOT (1 terrain feature back)

Distribution Methods of Resupply
• Unit Distribution provides delivery of supplies directly to the unit.– A unit representative meets the resupply package at the LRP
and guides the package to the company’s position during a FSC LOGPAC operation.
– The BSB LOGPAC operation can meet the FSC at a LRP and either continue forward to conduct sustainment operations or transload supplies with the FSC.
• Supply Point Distribution requires unit representatives to move to a supply point to pick up their supplies.
NOTE: This is not the normal method of resupply in the HBCT, but can occur if the situation dictates, or if the unit is a tenant of the BSA.
• Throughput Distribution is when an intermediate supply source is bypassed in order to provide more efficient support.
65
Replenishment Operations
• Replenishment Operations (RO)–Routine –Immediate
• Mission Staging Operations (MSO)
• Combat Loads
• Logistics Package Operations (LOGPACs)–Logistics release points (LRPs)
• Resupply methods–Tailgate resupply–Modified tailgate resupply–Service station resupply
66
Routine Replenishment
• Includes any and all classes of supply requested by the units
• The FSC will push the supplies forward to the companies/troops
• Throughput when practicable by the BSB and supporting Corps/Division units
• Use distribution points to centralize distribution to several different units or serve as a materiel collection point
• Replenishment will be on an as required and METT-TC basis
67
Immediate Combat Replenishment
• Urgent need for resupply, cannot wait for a routine resupply
• May involve Classes III, V, and VIII, as well as CBRN equipment and, on rare occasions, Class I
• If FSC isn’t capable and BSB has capability, they will be utilized
• The BSB has a limited capability to prepare sling loads should the HBCT be augmented with air support

MSO: Mission Staging Operations are initiated by Div order, conducted by the BCT and enabled by the SUST BDE at a forward location within the BCT AO. MSO tasks are METT-TC based; may include planning, rehearsals and limited reorganization ICW sustainment tasks. The Sust Bde will provide replenishment to the BSB / FSC’s along with field services / other services as required.

Logistics Package Operations (LOGPACs)
• LOGPACs are organized in the battalion support area (CABSA) by the company supply sergeant under the supervision of the FSC commander and the distribution platoon leader
• Organized for each company/separate element in the battalion
• Under the control of the FSC distribution platoon leader
• Conduct replenishment operations based on operational, tactical and logistical situation
The LOGPAC technique is a simple, efficient, and most preferred way to accomplish routine replenishment operations.
