  24hours or until the next scheduled LOGPAC. The BCT S-4, in coordination with the support operations
  officer, tailors a LOGPAC (commonly referred to as a push package) as much as possible to provide
  subordinate units with sufficient quantities of each supply item in anticipation of their requirements.
  Emergency Resupply
  9-85. Accurate reporting through LOGSTAT reports is critical to reduce the number of required emergency
  resupply operations. Poor logistics reporting from units places a burden on the sustainment system by
  needlessly putting personnel and equipment at risk through additional resupply operations and degrades the
  efficient distribution of supplies across the BCT. Emergency resupply can lead to excess materiel and
  needless LOGPAC operations. Emergency resupply that extends beyond BSB capabilities requires
  immediate intervention of the next higher command capable of executing the mission.
  9-86. When a unit has an urgent need for resupply that cannot wait for a planned LOGPAC an emergency
  resupply may involve classes III, V, and VIII, and, on occasion, class I. In this situation, a maneuver battalion
  or squadron might use its FSC supply and transportation platoon located in the combat trains to conduct the
  resupply. An emergency resupply can be conducted using either supply point orunit distribution. The fastest
  appropriate means is normally used, although, procedures may have to be adjusted when in contact with the
  enemy.
  TECHNIQUES OF RESUPPLY
  9-87. In each method of resupply, there are multiple techniques. Logisticians and supported units can use
  several techniques for resupply during planned and emergency resupply operations. Units can utilize different
  techniques to conduct supply point and unit distribution operations. In many cases, units conduct both supply
  point and unit distribution operations during the same resupply technique.
  Logistics Package
  9-88. The LOGPAC, a grouping of multiple classes of supply and supply vehicles under the control of a
  single convoy commander, is a simple and efficient way to accomplish routine, planned resupply. The
  LOGPAC resupply convoy utilizes the combat and field trains to echelon sustainment across the battlefield.
  Before a LOGPAC, the BSB’s distribution company configures loads for resupply to maneuver battalions in
  the BCT. Typically, a platoon leader from the BSB’s distribution company leads a LOGPAC from the BSA.
  However, the distribution company from the BSB or the FSC supporting a maneuver battalion or squadron
  can conduct the LOGPAC from the BSA depending on mission variables. The BSB or a DSSB may conduct
  throughput distribution in the BCT’s area of operations when needed. Scheduled LOGPACs typically contain
  a standardized allocation of supplies based on consumption rates of the supported force reported through
  LOGSTATS, the sustainment concept of support, and synchronization matrix. The BSB can dispatch an
  emergency (sometimes referred to as urgent or immediate) LOGPAC as needed.
  9-89. Once received by the FSC, the platoon leader from the FSC’s distribution platoon leads the battalion
  LOGPAC. The FSC often breaks the resupply into company-configured loads in the field or combat trains,
  and the maneuver battalion can reconfigure loads further at an LRP if necessary and mission variables of
  METT-TC allow. Maneuver company or troop representatives can accompany the LOGPAC. The maneuver
  company or troop XO or first sergeant meets the LOGPAC at the LRP and escorts the convoy to the maneuver
  company or troop’s trains or positions.
  9-90. When receiving resupply, FSCs must ensure they have resupplied the maneuver companies to allow
  space to receive as many classes of supply as possible. The FSC must especially synchronize classesIII and
  V before receiving resupply. The length of time the unit must sustain itself in combat without resupply
  determines its combat load. The commander dictates minimum load requirements; however, the commander
  or the unit SOPs specifies most items. Specific combat loads vary by mission.
  Contingency Resupply
  9-91. Contingency resupply is the on-call delivery of prepackaged supplies during the execution phase of an
  operation. This type of on call delivery of a prepackaged resupply is generally used to support an operation
  of limited duration, such as an air assault or other limited engagement of short duration. Contingencyresupply
