Analyze BCT Sustainment Flashcards
Is a designated area in which the stamen elements locate to provide support to a brigade combat team. It is the Sustaiment hub of the supported brigade combat team
The Brigade Support area
Normally has operational control of all elements located in the BSAA for security and defense mission
BSB commander
What is the most critical support area location and consideration for site selection of the BSA
Mission accomplishment in survivability
An area where the commander intends to contain and destroy an enemy forces with the master facts of all available weapons and supporting systems
Engagement area
You must identify all likely enemy avenues of approach, determine likely enemies schemes of maneuver, determine where to kill the enemy, and place weapons systems, plan and integrate obstacles, plan and integrate in direct fires, rehearse the operation in the engagement area. The seven steps help you to develop what
Engagement area development
Establish local security. Position vehicles, crew served weapons, and soldiers assign sectors of fires. Establish communications. Position other assets such as command post. Designate final protective fires. Clearfield of fire and prepare range cards and sector sketches. Prepare fighting positions. In place obstacles. Mark TRPS and direct fire control measures both day and night. Improve primary fighting positions with overhead cover are all an example of what
BSA Priorities of work
What form of defense does a BSA employ
Perimeter Defense
What are the seven steps of engagement area development
Identify all likely enemy avenues of approach. Determine likely enemy schemes of maneuver. Determine where to kill the enemy. In place weapons systems. Planning integrate obstacles. Plan integrating Drake fires. Rehearse the operation in the engagement area.
What are Two of the most important factors in a BS a site selection
Mission accomplishment and survivability
The following are examples of white: Position CPs Nearest center of BSA perimeter For Mission command in security reasons. BSA Includes HHC/A/B/C BSB, and can contain all or part of the FSC (FTCP). Can also include elements from BCT staff, Brigade Alternate CP, BEB units, Signal units. A Co., BSB establishes SSA, CL III Point, ATHP. Position units with heaviest firepower, such as B BSB along the most threatening avenues of approach.
BSA Layout Guidlines
Who’s decision is it to Displace based on experience in professional military judgment
The commanders decision is it
Is Comprised of task organized multi functional logistics assets designed to support fast moving offensive operations in the early phases of decisive action
Ford logistics element
The forward logistics element is typically Controlled by the
SPO and S-3 Rep
While mission variables dictate a Ford logistics element composition a Brigade support battalion typically establish a Ford logistics element with what
Fuel handlers, ammunition handlers, water in class one supplies, recovery assets, and medical personnel
Who is decision is it to displace the Brigade Support area
The brigade support battalion commander, with close coordination with the BCT commander, determines when to displace the BSA.
Why are MATPs Typically outside of the Brigade Support area
Due to net explosive weight of the ammunition there needs to be a significant standoff distance with personnel, equipment, and supply points
What company in the BSA do you posture against the most threatening Avenue of approach
Bravo company
Our a grouping of personnel, vehicles, and equipment that provides sustainment to the battalion in subordinate companies of the BCT arrayed across the area of operations
Trains
The composition an exact location of Battalion trains varies depending on the number of units attached, or augmenting, the Battalion true or false
T
What type of distribution is being described: First sergeant from each maneuver company needs the Ford support company distro platoon lOGPAC at the LRP and escort them back to each company area
Unit distribution
Which type of distribution is being described: Each maneuver company is going back to the FTCP to receive supplies from the Ford support companies establish supply points
Supply point distribution
What type of distribution is being Described: Distribution skips one echelon that unit in the trains concept
Throughput distribution
What are the three types of resupply methods
Service station, tailgate, combination.
What type of resupply method is being described: unit elements requiring resupply come to centralized location, maximize effort, larger target.
Service station
What type of resupply method is being described: Resupply moved to the unit elements, decentralize effort, smaller target
Tailgate
What type of resupply method is being described: mixture of service station in tailgating
Combination
True or false: within the company battery or troop the first sergeant will replenish company elements using various methods depending on the situation
True
What are the three methods of distribution
Unit, supply point, and throughput
What method of distribution has the customer come get their supplies
Supply point
What method of distribution bypasses and echelon of support
Throughput
Is the grouping of multiple classes of supply and supply vehicles under the control of a single convoy commander. It is simple and efficient way to accomplish routine supply. Typically contains a standardized allocation of supplies based on the concept of support, synchronization matrix, and consumption rates of the supported force
LOGPAC (Planned Resupply)
These supplies build a stock is level on the battlefield of often high demand, consumable supplies such as water and ammunition
Preposition supplies
Is a preposition in concealed supply point, they are different from standard preposition supplies because the supported or supporting units concealed supplies from the enemy
Cache
Continually exchanging configured loads of supplies on brigade support battalions distribution company flatracks , Water tank racks, modular fuel system, and multi temperature refrigerated container systems and retrograding empty for support company flat racks is a resupply technique logisticians use when echelon need sustainment capability on the battlefield
Modular system exchange
Is the least preferred method of supply
Immediate emergency resupply
What are the two methods of resupply
Planned and immediate emergency
What are the four types of planned resupply
LOGPAC, Pre-positioned stocks, cache, and modular system exchange
