Conduct Resupply / Consolidation and Reorganization Operations

The PSG takes these actions during reorganization?

(1) Compile SITREPs from TCs and, as required by unit SOP, submit a consolidated report to the platoon leader or 1SG. (2) Direct cross-leveling of supplies within the platoon. (3) Oversee evacuation of casualties. (4) Coordinate the movement of detainees to the detainee collection point.

The platoon leader takes these actions:

(1) Compile SITREPs from TCs and, as required by unit SOP, submit a consolidated report to the platoon leader or 1SG. (2) Direct cross-leveling of supplies within the platoon. (3) Oversee evacuation of casualties. (4) Coordinate the movement of detainees to the detainee collection point. (3) The platoon leader takes these actions: (a) Forward a consolidated SITREP to the commander. (b) Redistribute personnel as necessary to maintain combat readiness. (c) Oversee consolidation of Soldiers who have been killed in action (KIA). (d)Reestablish communications with elements that are out of contact. (e) SITREPs are sent using voice or digital format (or a combination). Refer to unit SOPs for additional information.

Vehicle commanders and section sergeants take these actions during reorganization?

(1) Vehicle commanders and section sergeants take these actions: (a) Reload machine guns and redistribute main gun ammunition to ready areas. (b) Move crewmen who are wounded in action (WIA) to a covered position and provide first aid. (c) Send a SITREP to the PSG reporting casualties and supply status of equipment, ammunition, and fuel. (d) Conduct essential maintenance.

The following considerations influence selection of prestock sites and execution of the resupply operation:

1)Availability of overhead cover for the prestock location. 2)Cover and concealment for the location and routes that vehicles will take to reach it. 3)Security procedures required to safeguard the resupply operation. 4)Procedures for protecting friendly personnel and vehicles in the event prestock ammunition is ignited.

To consolidate a defensive position, the platoon?

1)Eliminates remaining enemy resistance by conducting a counterattack as directed by the commander. 2)Reestablishes communications 3)Ensures positions are mutually supporting; checks all sectors of fireto eliminate gaps and dead space that result when tanks aredisabled. 4)Secures enemy prisoners of war (EPWs). 5)Reestablishes OPSEC by emplacing mounted and dismounted OPs,early warning devices (such as M22 alarms), and enhancingcamouflage for platoon positions. 6)Replaces, repairs, or fortifies obstacles. 7)Improves positions in accordance with procedures for a deliberate defense and established priorities of work.

Two techniques are used to resupply units in contact

1)Limited supplies are brought forward to the closest concealed position, where the tailgate technique of resupply is used. 2)Individual vehicles or sections disengage and move to a resupply point, obtain their supplies, and then return to the fight. This is a version of the service-station technique.

There are several techniquesfor accomplishing prestock resupply in the defense.

1. Normally, Class V (ammunition) is positioned next to or within a vehicle's fighting position. This enables the crew to resupply during an engagement without displacing. 2. Another technique is to locate Class V supplies en route to or within a successive BP. Use of this method requires consideration of security procedures to safeguard the prestock. 3. Resupply of Class III (specifically fuel) is usually accomplished behind a unit's current BP or en route to a successive BP. 4. When the platoon must conduct this type of resupply in the defense, the platoon leader directs the PSG to rotate vehicles or sections through prestock positions based on the enemy situation and shortages within the platoon. 5. Security will require planning to prevent enemy dismounted/guerilla forces from destroying or sabotaging prestocked supplies.

BLACK:

59% or less on hand, all ammunition types.

RED:

60% to 79% on hand, all ammunition types.

AMBER:

80% to 89% on hand, all ammunition types.

GREEN:

90% or more on hand, all ammunition types.

if your da form 1156 is dated 2006 or higher?

DA Form 1155 is not required.

Yellow 1 Equipment Status Report (STATREP):

Each vehicle commander/section sergeant sends a current Yellow-1 report to the PSG by messenger, voice, or digital means between 1200 hours and1300 hours daily. Digital platoons may set the FBCB2 to automatically send Yellow-1 reports to the PSG, who then will send a rollup report to the 1SG/XO.

pre-position/pre-stock?

Normally, only Class V items will be prestocked

Consolidation in the defense?

Once an enemy assault is defeated, leaders must ensure their Soldiers are ready to continue with defensive operations, to shift to the offense, or to displace.

Red 2

Personnel Battle Loss Report

What is the responsibility of the vehicle commanders/section sergeants during the reorganization step of consolidation/reorganization activities?

Reload machine guns and redistribute main gun ammunition to ready areas, move crewmen who are wounded in action (WIA) to a covered position and provide first aid, send a SITREP to the PSG reporting casualties and supply status of equipment, ammunition,and fuel, and conduct essential maintenance.

TECHNIQUES OF RESUPPLY

TAILGATE RESUPPLY,SERVICE-STATION RESUPPLY,VARIATIONS AND COMBINATIONS

Green 2 Sensitive Items Report:

This report is sent daily at specified times (such as 0600 and 1800 hours)and after tactical operations (such as movement). The Green-2 is used to report results of a serial-number check of the following equipment:

Yellow 3 POL Status Report.

This report is sent twice daily or as required. Use the following status codes to report the platoon's POL status:

Yellow 2 Ammunition Status Report

This report is transmitted once daily at 1300 hours or immediately upon completion of enemy contact. Use the following status codes to report

Consolidation consists of steps to do what?

To secure an objective and prepare for possible enemy counterattack.

company or troop supply sergeant

assembles his LOGPAC in the battalion/squadron field trains area under the supervision of the support platoon leader from the FSC and the company 1SG.

VARIATIONS AND COMBINATIONS

can vary the specifics of the two basic techniques, or he can use them in combination.

Who designates platoon positions and weapons orientations?

company commander

logistics package (LOGPAC)

comprises company/troop and battalion/squadron assets that transport supplies to the company or troop.

Routine resupply operations

include regular resupply of items in Classes I, III, V, and IX and of any other items requested by the company or troop.

The refuel on the move (ROM)

is planned and organized at battalion or higher level to sustain vehicles during long movements.

Emergency resupply,

normally involving Class III and Class V, is executed when the platoon has such an urgent need for resupply that it cannot wait for the routine LOGPAC.

Successful defensive tasks share the following characteristics?

preparation,security, disruption, massing effects, and flexibility, maneuver, and operations in depth.

basic loads?

quantities of Class I through V and VIII supplies. Items fromthe basic load are used during peacetime only when no operational loads areavailable.

The combat load?

quantity of supplies that the platoon must have on hand to sustain operations in combat for a prescribed number of days. Like the basic load, the platoon's combat load is specified by higher headquarters.

Reorganization?

the process of preparing for continued fighting, is normally accomplished by SOP.
