The company headquarters of FSC is divided into three sections: administration, maintenance, and
field mess. Duty areas of HQ personnel listed in above paragraph correspond to these three elements. Refer
to Figure 1-1 for this organization. The organization of HQ elements is designed to function smoothly and
effectively. It’s structured to ensure that company and section/team personnel and equipment are used in an
efficient and mission supportive manner.
Unit Capabilities. Under the direction of the FSC headquarters command element, the company’s
S/L and CR elements (TOE 42414L0) or SLCR sections/teams (TOE 10414L0) provide the following
services:
• Laundry element. QM FSC, DS (TOE 42414L0) provides service of 7.9 pounds of laundry per person
in support of approximately 18,500 troops per week. The QM FSC, M (TOE 10414L0) provides services
at the rate of 15 pounds of laundry per person in support of approximately 21,000 troops per week.
• Shower element. QM FSC, DS, per TOE mission statement, provides service for approximately 18,500
troops per week (approximately 443 troops per day) at one shower per person per week. According to TOE
mission statement for QM FSC, M, it provides service for 21,000 troops per week at one shower per
person per week. Each SLCR section/team supports 500 troops per day or 3,500 troops per week.
• Clothing repair element. Repair service on clothing and limited, lightweight textiles correlates to
numbers for shower support as stated above.
Additional Capabilities. Additional company capabilities and support needs to be considered by
company command element include --
• Unit defense. Company personnel can assist in the coordinated defense of the unit’s area or installation
location. Additional defense forces will be needed for its protection. This requirement should be coordinated
with your battalion HQ S3 officer.
• Unit maintenance. Company personnel can perform unit maintenance on organization equipment,
excluding construction and communication/electronic equipment. Outside help for communications
assistance will be provided through your battalion HQ S3 officer; support may also be provided by the
designated communications team in your AO. (The QM FSC, DS performs unit equipment maintenance,
except construction equipment and COMSEC equipment. The QM FSC, M performs unit maintenance on
all unit equipment except communications equipment and COMSEC equipment.)
• Unit required support. QM FSC, DS depends on appropriate elements of corps or theater Army for
health, religious, financial, personnel/administrative services, and supplemental transportation support.
Requirements for these services may also depend on HNS. The light equipment, maintenance company
(TOE 43209L000) will support the company for construction equipment and maintenance. Because the
company provides its own food service support, no additional support is required. The QM FSC, M is
dependent on appropriate elements of corps or theater Army for combat health support, religious,
financial, personnel/administrative services, and supplemental transportation support. It is dependent on the
QM supply company, direct support (TOE 42447L000), for water support; and, supported unit for
supplemental supply, communications, maintenance support, and security support when SLCR
sections/teams are deployed independently (of parent unit). Also, it’s dependent to the unit that it’s attached
for communications equipment maintenance.
