  COMMAND AND CONTROL
  12-32. The General Staff may keep some national-level logistics units its
  direct control. However, it normally allocates some national-level assets, as
  well as logistics assets of operational-level commands in the administrative
  force structure, to provide logistics support to an OSC.1 In some cases, these
  allocated assets may remain under the command of their original parent
  headquarters but become associated with an OSC in a supporting
  relationship. In other cases, they actually come under the command of the
  OSC in a constituent or dedicated status. (See Chapter 2 for a more detailed
  explanation of the various command and support relationships.)
  OPERATIONAL STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES
  12-33. At all levels of command, including the OSC, the resources section of
  the primary staff is the principal office for the logistics integration of supply,
  maintenance, transportation, and services. The resources officer heads this
  section, with two subsections headed by secondary staff officers who support
  him: the chief of logistics and the chief of administration. See Figure 12-1.

  Resources Officer
  12-34. The resources officer is responsible for the requisition, acquisition,
  distribution, and care of all of the command’s resources, both human and
  materiel. He ensures the commander’s logistics and administrative
  requirements are met and executes staff supervision over the command’s
  logistics and administrative procedures. One additional major task of the
  resources officer is to free the commander from the need to bring his
  influence to bear on priority logistics and administrative functions. He is also
  the officer in charge of the sustainment command post (CP).
