  SUSTAINMENT OPERATIONS
  9-45. The SHORAD platoon is not self-sustaining. It requires administrative and logistical support from its
  parent unit, the ADA task force or task-organized battery to which it is assigned, or the supported force.
  When operating independently, the platoon may require an attached maintenance element consisting of select
  system maintainers and repair parts. Unique items, especially Class V, require careful planning as they cannot
  be resourced from supported units in many cases, and the parent organization may not have the distribution
  capability to transport bulky loads across the width and depth of the area of operations. The distributed nature
  of SHORAD operations also requires consideration of medical support, as medical personnel assigned to a
  platoon’s parent unit will have difficulty covering the area as well.
  9-46. Maintenance relies on the Army’s two-level maintenance concept: field maintenance and sustainment
  maintenance. Class IX repair parts are ordered through the Global Combat Support System-Army. A robust
  prescribed load list will be established to maximize the operational status of sensors and shooters to meet
  mission requirements and limit maintenance downtime.
