EMERGING CONCEPT AND SYSTEMS
Section I
EMERGING CONCEPT
FM 42-414
An emerging concept and several new systems will impact on S/L and CR operations. This emerging
concept formalizes a team organization where these services will be collocated. This concept (i.e. SLCR
section/team) is presented in chapters 1, 2, and 3. Force XXI concept will impact the doctrine and structure
of the Army’s ability to conduct, sustain, and win wars in the 21st century.
QM FIELD SERVICE COMPANY, MODULAR
As discussed previously, the QM FSC, M (TOE 10414L00) is designed as the phase-in replacement
for the QM FSC, DS. See Figure 1-1. Its field service, application functions, basically, mirror the QM
FSC, DS. Difference between the two companies is the assigned company, personnel strength number and
the use of LADS as a replacement for the M85-series mobile, laundry trailer unit. Until LADS is fielded,
QM FSC, M will use the M85s authorized under its base TOE data. Also, note the different support
capabilities of each company as described in chapter 3. QM FSC, M will display the following mission
support attributes:
• Support concept. With implementation of the TOE for the QM FSC, M, areas of EAC will be
supported by HNS, contractors, or through self-help service methods.
• AO employment. The FSC, M will employ in the corps forward or division rear area with its SLCR
sections’/teams’ AO as far forward as the maneuver battalion, dependent on METT-TC.
• Capabilities. The functional operations of company personnel and unit elements are the same as the
QM FSC, DS. See specifics as described in chapters 2 and 3.
SOLDIER SUPPORT
In a fluid and fast moving tactical environment envisioned in future armed conflicts, the Army will
require a greater capability for S/L support to the maneuver soldier. Major initiatives in S/L support are
being studied and formalized for development and fielding to FSCs. These new systems are identified and
discussed next. Expected fielding of some of these systems will occur in the near future.
