MEDICAL BRIGADE


The medical brigade provides treatment, hospitalization, evacuation, logistics, patient regulating, PM, psychiatric, laboratory, dental, and veterinary support to the corps. The medical brigade HQ task organizes the COSCOM medical assets to meet the patient work load and CHS requirements corps forces generate. Medical assets are task organized under subordinate medical groups normally employed geographically in the corps rear area and directly under the brigade HQ. The medical brigade mission, functions, and organization are covered in more detail in chapter 9, section II.

TRANSPORTATION GROUP

A transportation group could be attached to the COSCOM to provide command, control, and staff planning if three or more functional transportation battalions are included in the corps force structure. The number of transportation battalions in the force structure is normally based on the number of truck and terminal operating units providing corpswide support under the rear CSG, not on those assigned or attached to forward CSGs.

SUPPORT TO DIVISIONS, SEPARATE BRIGADES, AND ACRs

DISCOMs, support battalions, and support squadrons provide most of the required logistics support. However, they depend on the COSCOM for GS-level supplies, medical supplies, evacuation and reinforcing medical treatment support, reinforcing DSM and AVIM, transportation and airdrop support, mortuary affairs support, and secondary field services support (such as SLCR). MSBs and FSBs rely on COSCOM augmentation or reinforcement to support nondivision units employed in their areas.

SUPPORT TO HEAVY DIVISIONS

Corps transportation assets deliver GS-level supplies to division DSU supply points and maintenance units. Division units go to their supporting supply point to pick up their supplies. In contrast, the COSCOM delivers class IV barrier or fortification material directly to emplacement sites and aviation fuel directly to division and corps aviation elements. When necessary, the corps airdrops critical fuels, ammunition, repair parts, rations, and blood supplies.

COSCOM DSM units or AVIM units provide reinforcing maintenance support to division DSM and AVIM units. The corps G4 determines the priority of maintenance support. The COSCOM may attach MSTs to a division, separate brigade, or ACR.

DS field services companies provide SLCR support to division as well as nondivision troops. The collection company in the BSA and DSA will establish a forward collection point to begin the mortuary affairs collection and evacuation process.

Corps ambulances evacuate patients from division treatment stations to corps hospitals. The medical brigade provides reinforcing treatment, dental, and PM support. The Medical Logistics (MEDLOG) Bn (Fwd) builds prepackaged resupply sets of consumable medical supplies to support division requirements.

In addition to supporting the supply distribution system from the corps GS level to division DSUs, corps truck units support personnel and heavy equipment movement and cargo transfer operations in the division.

SUPPORT TO LIGHT DIVISIONS

a. General. The light infantry division (LID), airborne division, and air assault division require more logistics support from the COSCOM than heavy divisions. These divisions perform only essential logistics support and CHS functions and stock only mission-essential supplies with their organic assets. They depend heavily on corps and echelon above corps (EAC) units to provide resupply to the DISCOM, reinforcing DSM, transportation, medical support, SLCR, and airdrop support.

The LID requires more throughput from the corps rear area to the BSA due to the MSB's limited capability to resupply FSBs. However, the COSCOM cannot throughput too many supplies or it will overwhelm the LID's limited ability to move assets around the battlefield.

Light division maintenance support and capabilities are limited. They rely on replacement versus repair of components and pass an increased maintenance work load to nondivision DSM units.

LID and airborne divisions place heavy transportation requirements on the COSCOM for personnel, cargo, and airdrop support.

The COSCOM provides CHS augmentation, including positioning medical evacuation assets forward.
b. LID augmentation. Although the LID was designed for low-intensity conflict and was limited on total personnel, projected combat intensities quickly drive support requirements beyond LID DISCOMs' organic capabilities. Specific COSCOM elements have been designed or identified to perform required functions to offset these excessive work loads. This augmented support, over and above the normal COSCOM support organization, is sometimes referred to as the "corps slice." The following corps teams, detachments, and platoons augment the LID support organization:

The LID QM supply support detachment provides materiel management support functions and performs data processing-related processes beyond the LID's organic capabilities. It may either collocate with the CMMC or the LID's DISCOM.

The light/medium truck company offsets the driver shortfall in the LID that results from allocating only one driver per vehicle for single-shift operations.

The LID missile support team from the corps DS missile support maintenance company augments the division missile support capability. LID missile maintenance support is limited to reparable exchange (RX) with repairs being performed at corps.

The LID AVIM support team is attached to a COSCOM AVIM company to offset an estimated 21 percent of the AVIM work load passed back to the corps.

The LID MST augments an estimated 20 percent of the ground maintenance work load passed back to a nondivision DSM company providing DS to a LID.

The perishable subsistence platoon assigned to the COSCOM general supply company augments the LID's MSB, providing A- and B-ration storage and issue capability.

The LID graves registration team augments the MSB. This team can process 79 remains per day, perform search and recovery as required, and operate a collection and evacuation point. Fielding of the corps mortuary affairs collection company will eliminate this augmentation.

The hot/arid environment water team provides potable water storage and distribution system assets in arid regions.

SUPPORT TO SEPARATE BRIGADES AND ACRs

Similar to support to divisions, the COSCOM provides medical, GS supply, reinforcing DSM, field services, and transportation support to separate brigades and ACRs. When one of these corps forces employs in advance of a corps-sized force, elements of a forward CSG deploy to provide support. The support could consist of a forward logistics element formed by a forward CSB or a full tailored CSB depending on the force's requirements. In either case, a forward CSB and the CSG provide all required DS- and GS-level support, including heavy-equipment transporter (HET) movement support to the separate brigade or ACR.

If a separate brigade or ACR deploys in an allied force area adjacent to US forces, forward CSG/CSB support elements from the adjacent US forces provide out-of-sector support. They may support from their sector if an adequate line of support can be established, or they may deploy with the corps force to augment the support battalion or squadron capabilities.

HOST NATION SUPPORT (HNS)

HNS includes civilian and military support services the host nation (HN) furnishes to forces stationed on HN territory during peace and war. HNS helps to offset manpower, equipment, and supply requirements. It is the preferred method of meeting unsatisfied military support requirements. In times of crisis, using HNS will significantly reduce the time required to deploy and establish US reinforcing units.

The two categories of HNS that offset US requirements are direct HNS and indirect HNS. Direct HNS consists of HN military or paramilitary units organized similarly to US units. This HNS relates to comparable US organizations and capabilities. Indirect wartime HNS refers to support that is anticipated based on agreements with the host country. The type and volume of HNS services provided will depend on agreements between the nations involved and the host nation's actual capabilities. Unless other provisions apply, the United States will reimburse costs.

Due to the proximity of combat operations, only the HN military should perform some HNS functions. HN civilian firms may provide bath, laundry, and bakery services. HN buildings and facilities, as well as transportation and distribution systems, can offset logistics support requirements, particularly in port areas. The COSCOM Assistant Chief of Staff (ACofS), Support Operations Procurement Support Branch, should consider these areas when planning and requesting HNS. It should conduct a risk assessment to determine the impact should planned logistic area HNS not be available.

COSCOM ACofS, Support Operations Procurement Support Branch, personnel manage and coordinate HNS that has been negotiated and agreed upon by the host nation in peacetime and is expected to be provided in wartime to support the COSCOM's logistics mission. The COSCOM ACofS, G5 section personnel manage and coordinate available HNS for COSCOM units. As appropriate, section personnel manage and coordinate any additional ad hoc HNS the appropriate HN authorities have agreed upon. They coordinate requirements with civil affairs teams, the corps G5, and subordinate CSGs.

To support contingency operations, an HNS coordination team (contingency) can be assigned to the task force's senior logistics HQ. This team locates, obtains, and coordinates available HNS resources. It coordinates closely with the civil affairs organization operating with the contingency force. The team obtains HNS resources through local purchase or contracts and coordinates with finance and legal activities to execute HNS contracts.

JOINT OPERATION SUPPORT

Corps forces can operate as part of a joint task force. As the corps logistics command, the COSCOM supports corps units conducting joint operations. The COSCOM assumes the role of theater-level logistics manager and operator in a single corps contingency situation. While each military service provides its own logistics support in principle, the joint task force commander normally tasks the dominant user to provide or coordinate support for all service components. The commander in chief (CINC) allocates critical logistics assets among services and issues directives to transfer logistics functions between service components.

COSCOM CONTROL CENTERS

a. CMMC. The CMMC centrally controls all GS supply within the corps. It also manages DSM support operations. CMMC commodity managers perform centralized stock management of a specific supply class. Materiel managers provide consolidated materiel management of a specific commodity. They manage supply classes by exception using selective controls. Commodity managers compile, interpret, and report data to the appropriate logistics branch in the COSCOM's support operations section. Centralized management uses input from automated management information systems and communications to interface with the movement control center (MCC). FM 54-23 provides additional information on the CMMC.
CMMC mission. The CMMC performs integrated materiel management for the corps for all classes of supply [except medical supply, classified communications security (COMSEC), and classified maps]. Integrated materiel management involves computing requirements, establishing stockage levels, directing and distributing procurement, disposal, and developing guidance for maintenance priorities. The CMMC also performs maintenance management for all assigned or attached maintenance activities.

Split-base operations. The CMMC must be able to displace in increments to provide onsite materiel management support of a force-projection response to a crisis, from the force's initial entry into theater through the culmination of operations. The remaining part of the CMMC remains in a secure sanctuary installation location. The home-based main CMMC is augmented with table of distribution and allowances (TDA)-authorized civilians. The CMMC element in the sanctuary area processes the requirements for units in the sanctuary area and for those activities the forward CMMC elements support. Assured communication between the forward and sanctuary-based CMMC elements is required. A military or commercial system may provide the link.

b. CMCC. The CMCC provides centralized movement control and highway regulation. It uses its subordinate movement control teams (MCTs) and movement regulating teams to commit and allocate corps transportation assets. In response to unusual transportation support requirements, the CMCC controls transportation assets in truck companies attached to TMT battalions or CSBs. The CMCC is discussed in detail in chapter 4.
