  ROUTINE RESUPPLY
  7-21. Routine resupply is operations that are planned based on projected or actual consumption rates received
  through reporting. Routine resupply includes LOGPAC operations, aerial delivery, and operational
  contract support.
  Logistics Package Operations
  7-22. The logistic package is a centrally organized resupply convoy originating from field trains. The field
  trains transport the supplies needed to sustain a unit for a specific time, until the next scheduled LOGPAC.
  7-23. Logistics planners utilize anticipation to standardize push packages as much as possible to provide all
  units with sufficient quantities. Accurate logistics reporting, along with the commander’s guidance and
  priorities, allows logistics planners to forecast supply requirements quickly. Inaccurate, incomplete, or
  untimely logistics status and situation reporting can severely handicap efforts to balance unit requirements
  and available supplies. This reduces the amount of time a unit can continue conducting reconnaissance and
  security operations. Planners must also consider the likely increased width and depth at which reconnaissance
  and security operations occur, as this can drastically affect consumption rates and LOGPAC operational timelines.
  Aerial Delivery
  7-24. Units can use aerial delivery, which is an essential sustainment operation, to support reconnaissance
  and security missions. Aerial delivery operations reduce the risks associated with conducting ground
  resupply. Units can conduct aerial delivery in various operational environments where terrain limits access.
  Aerial delivery operations include sling-load, airdrop, and air-land procedures. The type and availability of
  aircraft limits aerial delivery. Aerial delivery may also compromise locations of units conducting
  reconnaissance and security operations. (Refer to ATP 4-48 for more information.)
  Operational Contract Support
  7-25. Units may use operational contract support to assist units conducting reconnaissance and security
  operations. Operational variables and mission variables are considerations that affect employment of contract
  support during reconnaissance and security operations. (Refer to ATP 4-10 for more information.)
  EMERGENCY RESUPPLY
  7-26. Emergency resupply operations may utilize any of the distribution methods with expedited distribution.
  Units conduct emergency resupply using the fastest appropriate means based on METT-TC (I). Emergency
  resupply may involve classes I (rations and gratuitous issue of health, morale, and welfare items), III, V, VIII,
  and IX. Aerial delivery is the fastest method to conduct emergency resupply, but may be limited due to
  aircraft availability and other circumstances. Usually, the FSC’s supply and transportation platoon located in
  the combat trains conduct emergency resupply. Pre-rigged loads of standard resupply packages may reduce
  the response time for emergency resupply. (Refer to ATP 4-45 and ATP 4-48 for details about rigging
  supplies for airdrop.)
  PERSONNEL SERVICES
  7-27. Personnel services are sustainment functions that man and fund the force, maintain Soldier and Family
  readiness, promote the moral and ethical values of the nation, and enable the fighting qualities of the Army
  (ADP 4-0). Personnel services that are essential to units conducting reconnaissance and security operations
  include personnel accountability and strength reporting, casualty operations, and religious support. The unit
  S-1 and the squadron unit ministry team provide personnel services to the units. (Refer to ADP 4-0 and FM 1-0
  for more information.)
  CASUALTY OPERATIONS
  7-28. Casualty operations during reconnaissance and security operations present unique challenges to units.
  Units must rehearse casualty operations before commencement. Casualty operations include production,
