Chapter 8 IMPERATIVES 8-6. Effective sustainment operations enable the DRT commander to accomplish the wide range of tasks the troop is assigned without the sustainment “tail” needlessly inhibiting the troop’s operations. In conducting these operations, sustainment leaders are guided by the following five imperatives: ANTICIPATION 8-7. Personnel responsible for sustainment activities, including the XO, 1SG, PL, and PSG, anticipate the needs of the troop as operations occur and coordinate to push support forward. They update the commander on sustainment status and capabilities and inform the support echelons of requirements. These personnel, in conjunction with the squadron S4, plan when they will receive the WARNOs and FRAGOs. The S4 determines support requirements and coordinates changes to support relationships. INTEGRATION 8-8. The DRT commander, XO, 1SG, PL, and PSG integrate sustainment into the planning process. By discuss sustainment during rehearsals, they ensure the sustainment plan is integrated. CONTINUITY 8-9. Sustainment continues before, during, and after the troop mission. Continuous sustainment operations require careful personnel management. The DRT performs operator and organizational maintenance whenever the opportunity exists. RESPONSIVENESS 8-10. Responsiveness is the ability to meet changing or unforeseen requirements on short notice. Sustainment must be as agile as maneuver to allow the commander to seize opportunities and exploit tactical advantage. IMPROVISATION 8-11. Leaders often improvise to solve unanticipated problems. Normal operating procedures may be suspended and extraordinary measures taken to overcome them. Agility, initiative, and ingenuity are essential qualities for sustainment leaders. SECTION III – ORGANIZATION 8-12. Dismounted reconnaissance troop sustainment units are organized similarly to those of other reconnaissance and maneuver units. The main supporting element for the DRT is the troop trains, which are supported by squadron trains operations. TROOP TRAINS 8-13. The trains provide sustainment during operations. They can be collocated with the CP or may operate separately under the control of the 1SG. Generally, troop trains are located with at least one terrain feature between it and the enemy to be out of the enemy’s direct fire range. The troop trains may also consolidate with the squadron trains if locations and distances allow for collocation. This method alleviates stress on the troop’s limited sustainment assets. 8-14. Troop trains generally include command vehicles and MEDEVAC vehicles. Troop trains for the DRT also include a field maintenance team if the mission requires direct maintenance support. 8-2 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
SQUADRON TRAINS Sustainment 8-15. Two types of squadron trains, combat trains, and field trains provide administrative and sustainment support. The squadron commander designates either the combat trains command post (CTCP) or the field trains command post (FTCP) as an alternate squadron main CP. COMBAT TRAINS 8-16. The combat trains normally consist of the unit maintenance collection point (UMCP), emergency resupply trucks (for example, carrying Class III and V), and the SAS. Generally, the primary intent for location of the combat trains is to ensure they are outside of the enemy’s mortar range. A UMCP may also be positioned where recovery vehicles have access or where major or difficult maintenance is performed. A suitable helicopter landing site for MEDEVAC should be nearby. COMBAT TRAINS COMMAND POST 8-17. The CTCP plans and coordinates sustainment for tactical operations and is prepared to serve as an alternate for the squadron main CP. When established, the CTCP consists of elements from the squadron S1 and S4 sections. The S4 is the OIC of the CTCP and is assisted by the S1. The CTCP serves the following functions: Tracks the current operation. Controls sustainment of the current operation. Provides sustainment representation to the main CP for planning and integration. Forecasts and coordinates future requirements. Monitors MSRs and controls sustainment traffic. Coordinates the evacuation of casualties, equipment, and detainees. FIELD TRAINS 8-18. The squadron field trains usually consist of the forward support company (FSC), troop supply sections, and elements of the squadron HHT, S1, and S4. Field trains personnel facilitate sustainment from the squadron to the troop by ensuring that LOGPACs are organized, configured, and dispatched. Generally, the primary intent for location of the field trains is to ensure they are outside of the enemy’s artillery range. FIELD TRAINS COMMAND POST 8-19. The FTCP is the primary direct coordination element between the squadron and the BSA/regimental support area. Generally, the HHT commander is the OIC of the FTCP. The FTCP serves the following functions: Tracks the current operation. Plans for sustainment of future operations. Provides sustainment representation to the main CP for planning and integration. Forecasts and coordinates future requirements. Coordinates the RTD of Soldiers and repaired equipment. SECTION IV – LOGISTICS 8-20. The sustainment environment the DRT operates in is characterized by longer distances, greater dispersion, decentralized execution, and fluid situations. The commander, XO, and 1SG are careful not to use maneuver unit planning factors when assessing sustainment requirements for the troop. SUSTAINING RECONNAISSANCE OPERATIONS 8-21. Maintaining the momentum of the operation is the overriding consideration in sustaining reconnaissance. The availability of adequate supplies and transportation to sustain the operation becomes 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 8-3
