CHAPTER 2
ADMINISTRATION AND LOGISTICS
Section I. PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
27. General
a. The company commander is responsible for the administrative
and logistical functions of the company. These functions are
vital to efficient operation, and require continuous attention. The
company commander selects and actively supervises subordinates
in the performance of these functions. His principal assistant is
the executive officer. The company commander requests assistance
from battle group when required.
b. The procedures described in this chapter are a guide only.
They are subject to modification by appropriate regulations, directives,
and policies of higher headquarters. They are, primarily,
the procedures used under combat conditions.
c. For duties of personnel having specific administrative and
logistical functions, see Chapter 1.
d, For additional discussion of administration and logistics
within the battle group, see FM 7-21, FM 7-40 or FM 57-21, as
appropriate.
28. Personnel Areas of Responsibility
a. Maintenance of Unit Strength.
(1) Strength records and reports.
(a) In combat, company morning reports are prepared by
the battle group personnel section, and based on information
submitted by the company in "feeder" reports.
The official morning report is signed by the
personnel officer and forwarded to higher headquarters
with the organizational copy (number two copy)
returned to the company for file.
(b) The company commander submits a daily on-line
strength report which reflects the number of personnel
who are on line (in battle positions or assisting in
controlling the fighting elements) and who are not on
line. This report is a modification of the daily status
report used in garrison.
