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 />

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 />
