SUPPLY SERGEANT<br />
Introduction<br />
1-30. The supply sergeant receives transports and issues supplies and equipment to the troop. He works<br />
closely with the 1SG to accomplish these tasks. He leads the logistics package (LOGPAC) to the linkup<br />
point or, if the situation dictates, moves it forward to the troop’s location.<br />
ARMORER<br />
1-31. The armorer performs organizational maintenance and repairs on the troop’s small arms weapons. He<br />
evacuates weapons to the direct support maintenance unit, if required. Normally, he assists the supply<br />
sergeant in the brigade support area (BSA), but he may also operate forward with the troop CP to support<br />
continuous CP operations.<br />
COMBAT MEDICS<br />
1-32. Combat medics are attached to the troop and platoons from the squadron to provide emergency<br />
medical treatment for sick, injured, or wounded personnel. The senior medic and ambulance are normally<br />
at the troop CP under the supervision of the troop 1SG while the platoon medics are supervised by the PSG.<br />
Combat medics’ responsibilities include the following:<br />
Provide medical guidance to troop leadership as required.<br />
Conduct triage for injured, wounded, or ill friendly and enemy personnel as they arrive at troop<br />
casualty collection points (CCPs) to ensure effective priority of treatment.<br />
Oversee sick call screening for the troop.<br />
Request and coordinate the evacuation of sick, injured, or wounded personnel under the<br />
direction of the 1SG.<br />
Assist in the training of troop personnel in basic first aid and of combat lifesavers (CLS) in<br />
enhanced first-aid procedures.<br />
Requisition Class VIII supplies from the squadron aid station (SAS).<br />
Recommend locations for troop CCPs. Provide guidance to the troop’s CLS as required.<br />
Maintain SA of the tactical situation and coordinate <strong>Army</strong> health system support for health<br />
service support and force health protection (FHP) requirements.<br />
Advise the troop commander and 1SG on mass casualty operations.<br />
Keep the 1SG informed on the status of casualties and coordinate with him for additional <strong>Army</strong><br />
health system requirements.<br />
OTHER SYSTEMS<br />
1-33. Various other systems used to gather information are also found throughout the IBCT. These include:<br />
Fire finder radars.<br />
Prophet Signal Intercept System.<br />
SUASs.<br />
CBRN reconnaissance teams.<br />
Engineer reconnaissance teams (ERT).<br />
SECTION III – OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE<br />
1-34. The DRT performs operations by integrating all available resources into a specific AO. These<br />
resources include personnel, systems, processes, missions, tasks, tactics, and techniques. The operational<br />
structure forms the overall operational environment (OE) within which the troop conducts missions.<br />
1-35. The OE is a composite of the conditions, circumstances, and influences that affect the employment of<br />
the DRT and bear on tactical decisions. While they encompass all enemy, adversary, friendly, and neutral<br />
systems across the spectrum of conflict, they also include an understanding of the physical environment,<br />
the state of governance, technology, local resources, and the culture of the local population. It includes the<br />
