This Field manual (FM) describes how logistics operations take
place in the Brigade Support Area of Operations. It is primarily
focused on how the brigade support battalion (BSB) performs its
mission, but it also addresses the roles and functions of other
sustainment elements within the brigade combat team (BCT) as well
as those organizations external to the BCT that provide logistics
and individual Soldier support services. This field manual was
written for BSB staff officers and non-commissioned officers.
Knowing that many are assigned to battalion staffs prior to
advanced formal education, this manual provides all a general idea
of functions performed by each unit and staff section assigned to
the BSB. Chapter 1 is a review of modular force logistics and the
various types of brigade combat teams and support brigades. Chapter
2 explains the role of the BSB, including the headquarters company
and staff, and briefly describes the role of the Aviation Support
Battalion (ASB). Chapter 3 covers the organizational structure and
function of the distribution company. Chapter 4 covers the role and
organization of the field maintenance company. Chapter 5 provides
detailed information on the brigade support medical company.
Chapter 6 describes another key component of the brigade support
battalion-the forward support company.
