  9-35. The distribution platoon of the FSC oversees LOGPAC operations and manages the distribution of
  supplies coming from or passing through the FSC in support of its battalion or squadron. The distribution
  platoon conducts replenishment operations and provides general supplies, fuel, and ammunition to its
  supported unit. The FSC distribution platoon consists of a platoon headquarters and four squads that can be
  task organized todistribute classes II, III, IV, V, and VII. FSCs’ maintenance platoons vary based upon the
  equipment and major weapon systems of the supported unit.
  9-36. The maintenance platoon of the FSC performs field-level maintenance, maintenance management
  functions, dispatching, and scheduled maintenance operations for their supported battalion and squadron and
  FSC vehicles and equipment. The platoon consists of the platoon headquarters section, maintenance control
  section, maintenance section, service and recovery section, and the field maintenance teams. The FSC
  maintenance platoon establishes the maintenance collection point and provides vehicle and equipment
  evacuation and maintenance support to the field maintenance teams. The maintenance collection point is
  normally located near or collocated with the combat trains for security and should be on or near a main axis
  or supply route. Field maintenance teams evacuate vehicles and equipment that require evacuation for repair
  and return, have an extended repair time, or when the vehicle or equipment exceeds its maintenance
  capabilities and augmentation is necessary.
  9-37. Mechanics for combat systems (M1, M2, M109, and Strykers) are only found in the FSCs, and only
  by exception in the BSB field maintenance company. The FSC evacuates nonmission capable equipment
  from the forward line of troops, company trains, and combat trains to the FSC in the field trains or BSA,
  however,the BSB will need to task organize mechanics from the FSCs to be able to affect repairs.
  DISTRIBUTION COMPANY
  9-38. The BSB’s distribution company is the primary supply and transportation hub of the BCT. It provides
  the supply and transportation components of logistics support to the BCT. The distribution company consists
  of a transportation platoon, a supply platoon, and a water and petroleum platoon and manages the distribution
  of supplies to the BCT. The company manages the distribution of supplies to the BCT and provides
  distribution capability forclasses I, II, III (bulk and packaged), IV, V, VII, IX, and water.
  9-39. The distribution company provides supply support through the FSCs and normally operates within the
  designated BSA. The BEB’s FSC provides supply support to the BCT headquarters.
  9-40. The transportation platoon of the distribution company provides transportation support to the BCT and
  distribution of supplies to the various FSCs. Of particular note, the transportation platoon cannot provide
  troop transport for the IBCT. When troop transport is required that is not within the capability of the
  transportation platoon, the support operations officer and BCT S-4 coordinates with the division assistant
  chief of staff, logistics and DSB for support.
  9-41. The supply platoon of the distribution company provides classesI, II, III packaged, IV, V, VII, and IX
  support to the BCT through a multiclass supply support activity (SSA) and an ammunition transfer and
  holding point. The multiclass SSA receives, stores, and issues supply classes I, II, III packaged, IV, VII, and
  IX.The SSA is capable of handling retrograde of serviceable and unserviceable materiel.
  9-42. The ammunition transfer and holding point section supports the BCT with class V and operates the
  BCT ammunition transfer and holding point. The ammunition transfer and holding point receives,
  temporarily stores, and issues class V. The ammunition transfer and holding point transfers munitions to BSB
  transportation assets and, if the situation dictates, holds ammunition for supported units and provides this
  ammunition to the supported units FSCs.
  9-43. The water and petroleum platoon provides water and petroleum distribution for the BCT. The platoon
  does not provide a water purification or petroleum storage capability. If the BCT requires water purification
  or petroleum storage, the BSB must coordinate for this support. The lack of water purification or petroleum
  storage is particularly important in the planning phase of operations, and the BSB must plan for water and
  petroleum support from their supporting DSB. As the operational plan develops, the BSB must continually
  update their supporting division sustainment support battalion (known as DSSB) and DSB to ensure seamless
  water and petroleum support and continued momentum.
