  • Anticipate requirements to provide subsistence, medical, transport, and shelter to detainees and
  dislocated civilians.
  • Financial managers at each echelon are responsible for capturing increased costs, applying available
  resources to validate requirements, identifying unfunded requirements, and securing funding for
  reconstitution requirements.
  • Plan for increased consumption of fuel and ammunition by aviation brigades.
  • Forecast for placement of HR assets to support numerous functions to include intertheater and
  intratheater transient personnel accountability, casualty tracking at Role 3 MTFs, and postal
  operations where the OE allows. The theater gateway will typically be placed by the ASCC at the
  primary intertheater APOD. TG PATs will be placed where the intertheater transient passenger flow
  dictates. Reception, staging, and onward movement activities will be supported by transportation
  and sustainment capabilities.
  • Plan for the appropriate type of water distribution. During large-scale combat, sustainment planners
  should expect to distribute only bulk water from the corps rear boundary forward to the forward line
  of own troops. Bottled water requires contracted support and, if used, should only be planned for
  the joint security area.
  • Commanders, staffs, and sustainment planners at all echelons must be prepared to support
  regeneration and reorganization as part of reconstitution operations.
  • Plan for the execution of fatality operations for fatalities as a result of large-scale combat operations.
  Planners should also prepare for temporary interment when directed by the CCDR.
  COMMAND AND CONTROL PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
  5-259. The planning considerations for command and control are listed below:
  • Expect enemy attacks in the space and cyberspace domains (to include the electromagnetic
  spectrum) that will degrade communications and digital information transmission. Attacks in these
  domains affect sustainment operations in terms of satellite communications, positioning, navigation,
  timing, information collection, internet operations, computer systems, and voice communications.
  Commanders must develop and execute a primary, alternate, contingency, and emergency
  communications plan to ensure redundancy.
  • Identify sustainment forces that will support reserve forces in all types of offensive operations.
  Commanders will determine acceptable levels of risks prior to attaching sustainment units to the
  reserve.
  • Understand how terrain and distance may limit or degrade communications and force utilization of
  retransmission stations. This is important for Sustainment Transport System operations.
  • Assess sustainment task organization frequently to ensure it is adequate and positioned properly to
  support the sustainment mission. Plan for replacement of units that are lost or degraded due to enemy
  attack.
  MOVEMENT AND MANEUVER PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
  5-260. The planning considerations for movement and maneuver are listed below:
  • Expect sustainment resupply and support elements to operate in the deep and close areas while
  supporting offensive operations. Sustainment units must understand operational control measures to
  include passage of lines and crossing of boundaries with maneuver forces in the offense.
  • Understand and anticipate how terrain, enemy action, fire support coordination measures, and
  movement restrictions will affect the methods of resupply. These factors must be considered in all
  distribution management and movement control plans.
  • Expect an increase in items (Class III, V, VIII, and IX) required to support offensive operations.
  Ensure adequate transportation assets are available to move supplies and equipment forward in the
  operational area.
  • Coordinate with movement control units for road usage or de-confliction during offensive
  operations. Commanders must identify main and alternate movement routes.
  • Plan to support SOF at all echelons. This includes delivery of non-standard ammunition and non-
  standard equipment maintenance.
