  • Elements of the global medical field laboratory may be in general support of the corps.
  DIVISION AREA
  2-155. The task organization of sustainment units in the division area is subject to the same complexities as
  the corps area. Multiple echelons above division sustainment units may be operating in the area alongside
  the DSB.
  2-156. Other sustainment brigades operating in the division area will remain attached to an CSC in the corps
  area. Sustainment brigades attached to the CSC will have CSSBs, functional logistics battalions, and
  functional logistics companies attached. The CSSBs attached to the sustainment brigade will have functional
  companies attached. Sustainment units not assigned to the division receive mission orders from the CSC to
  support broader theater operations.
  2-157. The DSB and its organic division sustainment troops battalion and DSSB are assigned to the division
  and may have additional CSSBs attached as required. The division’s task-organized DSB provides direct
  support to the division and general support for all units in or passing through their geographic area. The DSB
  commander remains responsible for integration and synchronization of sustainment in the division area.
  2-158. The task organization of medical units in the division area is subject to the same complexities as the
  corps area. Elements of the MEDBDE (SPT), MMB, and hospital center may be operating in the division
  area. The MEDBDE (SPT) and its subordinate units are normally in a general support relationship with the
  division commander. Within the division, medical command relationships will normally be the following:
  • MEDBDEs (SPT) provide direct or general support to the division and may have hospital centers
  and medical battalions (multifunctional) assigned.
  • MMBs may have medical companies, detachments, and teams assigned.
  • Role 3 hospital centers may have field hospitals and hospital detachments and teams assigned.
  BRIGADE COMBAT TEAM AREA
  2-159. The BSB is organic to the maneuver brigade headquarters; it is an integral part of the maneuver
  brigade table of organization and equipment. The distribution, field maintenance, medical, and forward
  support companies are organic to the BSB and have a direct support relationship with the maneuver brigade.
  The forward support companies and elements of the medical company may be OPCON to the supported
  maneuver battalion for limited periods of time based on mission requirements. This OPCON is normally
  limited to the duration of a specific mission or phase of an operation.
