  squadron S-4 coordinate recovery operations supporting the commander’s priorities by balancing the overall
  repair effort, available resources, and the tactical situation.
  9-127. The FSC has recovery assets located in the recovery section and field maintenance teams within the
  field maintenance platoon. The FSC commander along with the maintenance warrant officer, or maintenance
  noncommissioned officer in-charge, and the battalion or squadron S-4 track and manage recovery operations.
  The field maintenance company is responsible for recovering the BSB’s organic equipment and providing
  limited backup support with wreckers or tracked recovery vehicles when requirements exceed a supported
  unit’s capability. They provide area support for recovery on a limited basis to units without a recovery
  capability.
  9-128. Maintenance planners must establish recovery priorities when recovery assets are limited. These
  depend on the commander’s need for an item and the tactical situation. The type of maintenance or repair
  required affects the priority when the FSC or field maintenance company must recover two or more like
  items.
  9-129. The battalion or squadron S-4, the unit’s maintenance warrant officer, and FSC commander are
  responsible for developing the maneuver unit’s repair and recovery plan. They develop a plan of action for
  repair and recovery of the disabled equipment based on the subordinate units in the unit’s request for
  assistance. The maintenance plan includes battle damage assessment, priority for support, tactical situation,
  forecasted workload, and availability of maintenance and recovery personnel.
  MEDICAL SUPPORT
  9-130. BCTs have organic medical resources within unit headquarters (BCT, battalion, and squadron
  surgeon’s section), battalion and squadron unit (medical platoon), and the BSB (medical company). The
  medical command (deployment support) (known as MEDCOM [DS]) or the medical brigade (support)
  (known as MEDBDE [SPT]) serves as the medical force provider and is responsible for developing medical
  force packages for augmentation to the BCT, as required. Within each BCT (IBCT, SBCT, and ABCT), slight
  differences exist between the medical capabilities and resources. (See ATP 4-02.3 for these differences based
  upon the type of parent unit.)
  9-131. Role 1 (also referred to as unit-level medical care) is the first medical care a Soldier receives.
  Nonmedical personnel performing first aid procedures assist the combat medic. An individual (self-aid and
  buddy aid) administers first aid and combat lifesavers administer enhanced first aid. If needed, the Soldier is
  evacuated to the Role 1 medical treatment facility (battalion aid station) at the battalion or squadron, or the
  Role 2 medical treatment facility (BSMC) in the BSB of the BCT. (See ATP 4-02.3 for additional
  information.)
  COMBAT LIFESAVERS
  9-132. The combat lifesaver is a nonmedical Soldier trained to provide enhanced first aid and lifesaving
  procedures beyond the level of self-aid or buddy-aid. As usually the first person on the scene of a medical
  emergency, the combat lifesaver provides enhanced first aid to wounded and injured personnel. The squad
  leader is responsible for ensuring that an injured Soldier receives immediate first aid and is responsible for
  informing the commander of the casualty.
  COMBAT MEDIC
  9-133. The combat medic is the first individual in the medical chain that makes medical decisions based on
  medical specialty-specific training. The platoon combat medic goes to the casualty and initiates TCCC or the
  casualty may be brought to the combat medic at the casualty collection point. The medic makes an
  assessment; administers initial medical care; initiates the DD Form 1380 (Tactical Combat Casualty Care
  [TCCC] Card), or other requisite forms; requests evacuation; or returns the Soldier toduty.
  BATTALION AND SQUADRON AID STATION
  9-134. The mission of the medical platoon is to provide Role 1 AHS support to the maneuver battalion or
  squadron and field artillery battalion. A medical treatment platoon is organic to each and is the unit level
