headquarters. At corps ADA brigade or division level, they are forwarded to a
COSCOM or DISCOM. At EAC level the estimates are forwarded to the
operational support MMC.
7-42. Maintenance preparation for future operations include pre-execution
actions to maximize readiness, and planning for maintenance and repair
parts support throughout all phases of the operation. While developing the
maintenance plan, the logistician must consider the current and projected
status of the unit's equipment, repair parts stock, and the availability of key
maintenance personnel.
7-43. Maintenance efforts to repair non-operational ADA systems are the
focus of commanders and logisticians at all levels during the period preceding
the planned operation. Battalions and brigades monitors repair activities of
batteries and provide assistance as appropriate. Battalion and brigade
commanders augment battery maintenance personnel by providing
maintenance staff officers, contractor personnel, LAR, and DS or GS contact
teams to assist with repair operations.
7-44. Logisticians maintain visibility of repair parts throughout the theater,
and cross-level parts routinely to repair non-operational systems. In addition,
LAR can assist in providing status of high-priority parts requisitions that
have been passed to the NICP, and can coordinate to have the parts
expeditiously shipped to the theater by ALOC. When maintenance personnel
are unable to repair ADA systems expeditiously, commanders consider the
use of operational readiness floats (ORF) to replace the faulty equipment. As
a last resort, controlled substitution of parts and major assemblies can be
used when authorized by the commander.
7-45. Movement is inherent in all battlefield operations and is not purely a
CSS function. Therefore, movement planning and execution must be
coordinated and synchronized between operations and CSS staffs. The G3
controls maneuver and tactical movement. Movement control units and staffs
at each echelon coordinate movement over the air, land, and sea LOC. ADA
units are primarily concerned with movement on land LOC, the MSR in their
area of operations.
7-46. Components of transportation involve the physical modes of
transportation; the process of planning, allocating, and controlling
movement; and the operation of terminals. All units that require external
transportation support must know their source of transportation support in
the area they operate. In the division, it is the DISCOM movement control
officer. In the corps and COMMZ, the source of support is a movement control
team (MCT) collocated with a port, terminal, CSG, or ASG. They coordinate
transportation mode support to ADA units, and obtain clearance for the
move.
7-47. ADA units must evaluate their transportation posture on a continuous
basis. Plans should identify requirements for external transportation and
must be coordinated with the MCO or MCT in their geographical area.
