Chapter 8 normally used in assembly areas and when contact is unlikely. This technique also reduces vehicular movement such as the LOGPAC. Vehicles are stationary once they have established the resupply point. Tailgate Resupply 8-51. When the platoons are dispersed or the tactical situation requires, the 1SG uses the tailgate method. The terrain must permit the movement of multiple vehicles to each platoon position. The 1SG brings LOGPACs to each platoon's area. Individual Soldiers or teams rotate back through the feeding area. While there, they pick up mail and sundries, and replenish other classes of supply. They centralize and guard any EPW. They take Soldiers killed in action and their personal effects to the holding area where the 1SG assumes responsibility for them. (See Figure 8-2.) In-Position Resupply Figure 8-2. Example of tailgate resupply method 8-52. Occasionally, during some reconnaissance and security operations, and with specific METT-TC conditions, the in-position resupply method is used to deliver supplies to the reconnaissance units. The inposition resupply method requires the DRT to bring forward supplies or equipment (or both) to individual unit positions. This method is used when resupply is better facilitated by keeping the units in position and resupply operations do not compromise mission operations. (See Figure 8-3.) 8-10 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
EMERGENCY RESUPPLY Figure 8-3. Example of in-position resupply method Sustainment 8-53. Occasionally (normally during combat operations), DRT units have such an urgent need for resupply that they cannot wait for a routine LOGPAC. Emergency resupply involves Classes III, V, and VIII, as well as CBRN equipment and, on rare occasions, Class I. Emergency resupply is conducted using either the service station or tailgate method, but more often the in-position method. The fastest appropriate means is normally used although procedures might have to be adjusted if using certain resupply techniques might compromise the mission. For DRT units operating at extended distances, emergency resupply by air should be considered. 8-54. Emergency resupply begins at section and platoon level by redistribution of supplies. The PSG reports his need for emergency resupply to the 1SG, who relays the request to the squadron S4. The unit’s combat maintains a small load of Class III and V for these situations. The S4 coordinates a linkup between the combat trains and the troop 1SG. The 1SG meets the resupply trucks and moves back to the troop AO. The 1SG and troop XO choose a resupply point that is just behind the troop position and masked by terrain from threat direct fire and observation. PRESTOCKAGE OPERATIONS 8-55. Prestock resupply, which includes pre-positioning and caching, is most often required when DRT elements support defensive operations and when DRT elements conduct missions of longer duration. Pre-Positioned Supplies 8-56. Prestock operations must be carefully planned and executed at every level. All leaders know the exact locations of prestock sites, which they verify during reconnaissance or rehearsals. The troop takes steps to ensure survivability of the prestock supplies. These measures include digging in prestock positions and selecting covered and concealed positions. The DRT commander must also have a plan to remove or destroy pre-positioned supplies to prevent the enemy from taking them. Caches 8-57. A cache is a pre-positioned and concealed supply point. It can be used in any operation. Caches are an excellent tool for reducing the Soldier's load and can be set up for a specific mission or as a contingency measure. Cache sites have the same characteristics as an ORP or patrol base, with the supplies concealed above or below ground. An above ground cache is easier to get to, but is more likely to be discovered by the enemy, civilians, or animals. A security risk always exists when returning to a cache. A cache site should be observed for signs of enemy presence and secured before being used; it may have been boobytrapped and might be under enemy observation. 8-58. In the offense, advance elements may set up a cache along the intended route of advance to the objective. Caches may also be set up in the AO to support continuous operations without allowing the enemy to locate the troop through air or ground resupply. Soldier's load considerations may limit the size of 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 8-11
