CSS Levels of War
• Strategic Level
- National-Strategic
- Theater-Strategic
• Operational Level
• Tactical Level
13
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
16
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
17
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.”
18
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
19
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
20
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
21
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
22
Eight Characteristics of Combat Service Support
• Responsiveness
• Economy
• Simplicity
• Flexibility
• Integration
• Attainability
• Sustainability
• Survivability
23
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
24
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
25
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
26
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
27
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
28
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
29
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
Civil War - circa 1860
Desert Shield - 1990
31
Operational Reach and Sustainability
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.
•
•
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)

Logistics Transformation
Mass-Based
 More is better
 Mountains of stuff measured
in days of supply
 Uses massive inventory to
hedge against uncertainty in
demand and supply
 Mass begets mass and slows
everything down
Distribution Based
 Precision is better
 Reduce Inventory to a
minimum and keep moving
 Use precise demand
prediction and optimization
to reduce uncertainty
 Works great, except when it
doesn’t
Sense and Respond
 Agile is better
 Dynamically positioned
Inventory throughout
 Use transportation
flexibility and robust IT to
handle uncertainty
 Supports adaptive
operations

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

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
53
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
BTB

54
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

55
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 LD
established

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
FLB
– 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)

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.

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.

Logistics Package Operations (LOGPACs)
The LOGPAC technique is a simple, efficient, and most preferred way to
accomplish routine replenishment operations.
• 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

– Units requiring
resupply come to
centralized
location
– Maximize effort
– Larger target
•
Tailgate Resupply
– Resupply moves
to the units
– Decentralize
effort
– Smaller target
•
Modified Tailgate
– Mixture of service
