A CSST is a step up log node that is a coy size. It is taskorgansied to support activities such as a BG decisive, POL, deliberate reorg. they are designed to support a Bde for up to 24hrs (whilst BSG moves)
A CSST typically has: Coy HQ Tpt Sect Elms from Cbt Sups Pl FRG R2E Spt Engrs Unit A Ech Commodity points (AP/PP/WP) AXP / CCP / ECP
It needs 2km x 2km space

What are the timings and distances for medical consideration
Maximum distance from POI to Role2 by night is 40km

How long does a deliberate reorg of a BG and Coy take?
And what are considerations for it
BG 12hrs
Coy 6hrs
Out of contact from enemy. Will see distribution of combat supplies, evac of cas and repair/ recovery of vehicles.
A priority for reorg should be listed e.g
1 - Attached assets you are returning
2 - The ME BG
3 - supporting CT
How long does an immediate reorg for a BG take and what does that involve?
1 hr is conducted whilst still in contact. The unit A ech conducts resupply whilst cas are transported. Coys cycle through a distribution point and being in contact

Recommended that only 1 pl per coy have vehs on posn with remainder in hide. This would make coy posns 500mx500m
Time to establish defensive posns
Stage 1 - gun pit = 3hrs
Stage 2 - OHP = 24 hrs

What are the Div assets you could get
MCB = Armoured cav Regt with 1x tank sqn, LAV sqn and APC sqn and Regt of medium guns
1 Armoured Regt = A/B/E Sabre sqns (12 tank ea), C sqn TOW, D San APC

Explain how SOSRA works (concept, assets, timings)
Will see Supression and Obscuration occur concurrently, taking 10 mins
Aslt gp will secure the home bank, taking 10 mins
CDP to push CS Tp fwd is made (2x sects up with a third in rear for redundancy). This will see a mine plough, roller and viper approach each lane. They will detect the obstacle ‘irregular outer edge’ then launch viper. Blowing a 180m long and 7m wide lane. Plough will clear the lane, using VLB for ditches. Taking 10mins.
Assault will occur - taking 10mins to passage the LAV.
If tank is in the aslt it will need the SEQ sect and MTMC to clear a 10m wide gap.
