THE DISCOM


DISCOM LOGISTIC ORGANIZATION.

a. General. The heavy division usually consists of seven major subordinate commands (MSCs),an aviation brigade, an engineer brigade, a division artillery, a DISCOM, and three maneuver brigades. To accomplish the logistic and CHS missions, DISCOM units deploy throughout the division AO.


b. DISCOM HHC. The DISCOM HQ commands and controls its organic and attached units. It supervises and controls all division-level logistic and CHS operations. It also advises the division commander and staff concerning supply, maintenance, medical, transportation, and field services functions throughout the division. The HQ company provides all necessary administrative, supply, maintenance, and field feeding support for the company and the division materiel management center (DMMC). The division rear CP and the DISCOM CP are normally collocated. The DISCOM provides supply, maintenance, and field service support to division rear CP personnel.



c. DMMC. The DMMC is the primary materiel-managing element in the division. The center receives policy and operational guidance from the DISCOM commander and advises him on materiel (supply and maintenance, less medical) management. Activities include,



! Determining supply requirements.
! Ordering and directing the distribution of supplies the division receives (except class VIII).
! Developing and supervising the division ASLs and PLLs.
! Maintaining the division property book and Army equipment status reporting data.
! Operating all integrated division maintenance management information programs. The DMMC maintains maintenance status, including problems, maintenance requirements, and unit materiel readiness in the division.
! Providing a weapon system manager (WSM) to maximize the number of operational weapon systems available to the fighting forces.



d. Division aviation support battalion (ASB). The ASB is organic to the heavy division DISCOM. The battalion provides aviation maintenance and division-level logistics, less CHS, to the heavy division aviation brigade. A detailed description of the division ASB mission, organization, and functions can be found in FM 63-23.



e. MSB. The MSB is organic to the DISCOM. The battalion provides division-level logistics and CHS to division units located in the division rear. It also provides reinforcing support to the FSBs. A detailed description of the MSB's mission, organization, and functions is in FM 63-21.



f.FSBs. The FSBs are organic to the DISCOM. These units provide division-level logistics and CHS to the brigades and other division units located in the brigade areas. A detailed description of the FSB's mission, organization, and functions is in FM 63-20.



DISCOM LOGISTIC MISSION.

The DISCOM provides division-level logistics and CHS to all organic and attached division elements. The COSCOM's corps support battalion (CSB) operating in the division area will provide CSS to the nondivision units in the division area. The DISCOM commander is the principal division logistic operator. He exercises full command authority over all support command organic units. The division G4 has coordinating staff responsi-bility for logistic planning. He develops division-level plans, policies, and priorities. The relationship between the division G4 and the DISCOM commander must be extremely close because of the similarities of interests. The DISCOM support operations section and the DMMC plan and coordinate to ensure logistic support for all division and attached units.



The DISCOM provides the following CSS:


! Support of class I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, and IX supplies.

! Water purification and limited water distribution.
! Operates ammunition transfer points (ATPs) within the division. Under the maneuver-oriented ammunition distribution system,palletized loading system (MOADS/PLS), the corps DS ammunition company operates the division rear ATP. The DISCOM FSBs operate the BSA ATPs.
! Operates mortuary affairs collection points located in the BSAs and in the division support area (DSA). When augmented by COSCOM, it helps receive and identify remains and helps arrange for evacuation to a mortuary affairs collection point.
!DSM and reinforcing unit maintenance support for all common and missile materiel organic to the division and aviation intermediate maintenance (AVIM) for all aviation materiel.
! Materiel (supply and maintenance) management for the division.
! Transport for personnel, supplies, and equipment to accomplish division logistic and administrative missions. Also provides supplemental ground transportation to support emergency requirements.
! Supervises and coordinates DISCOM transportation operations.
! Automatic data processing (ADP) system software support for division logistic activities.
! Materiel salvage facilities.
! A limited capability to carry reserve supplies.
! Logistic information and advice to the division commander and his staff except for construction.
!Echelon I and II CHS to units assigned and attached to the division. This includes emergency medical care, advanced trauma management, and sick call. It also provides intradivision ground evacuation, emergency dental care, and optometry support. In addition, DSM and unit-level medical maintenance are provided as well as coordinating echelon III (corps) CHS.
! Plans, coordinates, and conducts rear operations within its assigned area of responsibility (AOR).
! Receives, stores, and distributes unclassified maps.


The DISCOM depends on the following:


! Corps transportation to bring supplies forward to the DSA and BSAs (classes IV and V and limitedclass III).
! The division aviation brigade or corps medium helicopter units for airlift needed to support logistic requirements.
! Additional water support distribution.
! Nondivisional field service units for laundry, bath, clothing exchange, and mortuary affairs services (only when there are no authorized organic augmentations).
! Appropriate corps elements for financial, legal, personnel, and administrative services.
! Corps aeromedical evacuation units for aeromedical evacuation support.


DISCOM DEPLOYMENT.



a. General. The mission is the basic consideration in locating CSS units and their facilities. Maintenance, supply, and medical companies and other DISCOM units must be far enough forward to be appropriately responsive to the supported units' requirements. Maintenance, for instance, takes place not only in the BSA but also wherever the weapon system is located, if at all possible. Mechanics and mobile equipment must be there to fix or replace weapon system components. Additional considerations are enemy capability and his proximity to support activities and other potential targets. the deployment of DISCOM units as they may be throughout the DSA and BSAs. BSAs and the DSA normally locate toward the rear of the units they support.



b. BSA. The BSA is that portion of the brigade rear occupied by the FSB, the brigade rear CP, and other units. In those instances where the maneuver battalion trains are echeloned, the battalion field trains are included. The BSA is normally between the DSA and the battalion areas. The BSA is approximately 25 to 30 kilometers behind the forward line of own troops (FLOT). This provides protection against enemy indirect-fire weapons. depicts units normally found in the BSA. Both division and corps units may locate within the BSA. The BSA, interfacing with the brigade S1, the S4, and the FSB, coordinates personnel and logistic support for the brigade. There is direct coordination because the brigade rear CP collocates with the FSB tactical operations center.



The FSB commander is the BSA commander. He must balance the need for security against the need for dispersion. Specific missions, condition of road nets, and disposition of other troops in the area influence the distance between troop units. It may be necessary, because of terrain restrictions or a guerrilla threat, to limit dispersion of logistic facilities even when there is a nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) threat. Ideally, logistic activities disperse far enough to avoid the destruction of more than one unit. However, too much dispersion tends to reduce operational efficiency. It also increases the vulnerability of logistic units to sabotage, pilferage, guerrilla attack, and enemy conventional attack. Defense measures should be taken to ensure the least interruption in support operations.



c. DSA. The DSA is that portion of the division rear occupied by the DISCOM and division rear CPs and many of the units organic and attached to the DISCOM. This area normally contains combat support units and COSCOM elements that support the division. The DISCOM commander is the DSA commander. The division rear CP normally collocates with the DISCOM CP. This helps with coordination, shares area communication assets, and draws life support and security.



The DSA is normally between the division rear boundary and the BSAs, next to air-landing facilities, and near at least one main supply route (MSR). The DSA's precise location is contingent on a number of factors. Some of the major factors are the tactical plans and the location of COSCOM units and the MSRs. The terrain in the AO, security, and access to lines of communication (LOCs) must also be considered. Like units in the BSA, elements within a DSA are dispersed, and each element must be prepared to provide its own protection. Employing passive defense measures, such as dispersion, movement, concealment, cover, camouflage, and deception, reduces detection. Unit SOPs should prescribe active and passive defense measures for personnel, materiel, and installations. DISCOM units in the DSA displace only as necessary to maintain continuous support to the division and for security reasons. If a move is necessary, the DISCOM commander recommends the new location. This is done in close coordination with the division rear CP operations cell.
