text: Signal Systems Maintenance
  Brigade S-6
  D-27. The brigade S-6 closely tracks the maintenance status and availability of the brigade’s communications
  equipment and systems. The brigade S-6 works closely with the brigade signal commander, executive officer,
  and electronic systems maintenance warrant officer to ensure critical network maintenance, services, repair
  parts, and spares are available to preserve operational readiness.
  Brigade Signal Company
  D-28. The brigade signal company coordinates network performance and maintenance issues with the brigade
  S-6. The brigade signal company has operator-maintainers who perform field maintenance on organic signal
  equipment. The signal company executive officer coordinates maintenance support for organic equipment
  and maintains logistical and maintenance oversight for the company.
  UNITS WITH NO ORGANIC MAINTENANCE CAPABILITIES
  D-29. Some units in the brigade have limited or no organic field maintenance capability or capacity. These
  units normally receive field maintenance support or augmentation from a supporting maintenance
  organization. Maneuver battalions are examples of units without organic field maintenance capabilities.
  These units receive field maintenance support from the brigade support battalion’s forward support
  companies. Functional brigades without organic maintenance capabilities for any equipment or commodity
  area normally coordinate for support from a sustainment brigade or combat sustainment support battalion.
  The sustainment brigade or combat sustainment support battalion’s support maintenance company provides
  field maintenance to division and above units with no organic maintenance capabilities.
