JULLS LONG REPORT
0 1. (U) JULLS NUMBER: 50955-48057 (00008), submitted by DISCOM, 24
ID, 870-5516, (912)767-5516.
2. (U) Other OPN DESERT STORM NOTES conducted by 24 IN DIV (NECH)
on 03/05/91.
3. (U) KEYWORDS: CORPS SUPPORT GROUP, COMBAT SERVICE SUPPORT,
LOGISTICS, .
4. (U) TITLE: MANAGEMENT OF THE CORPS SUPPORT GROUP
5. (U) OBSERVATION: Direct support (backup) relationship causes
friction between COSCOM and DISCOM.
6. (U) DISCUSSION: Under DS (backup), COSCON commands corps
support groups and DISCOM plans for / employs the CSG to
support corps and divisional units during execution of combat
operations. Plan for / employ means DISCOM positions,
displaces, and gives priorities of support to CSG units to
ensure CsS requirements that exceed the MSB or FSB capabilities'
are augmented by CSB capabilities. However, COSCOM commands.
CSG,S. As such, the COSCOM commander can change CSG / CSB task
organization as he deems necessary. This change in task
organization changes CSS capabilities. This will cause a change
in the concept of support when compared to projected CSS
requirements. Additionally, DISCOM commanders are prohibited
from further organizing DS (backup) CSG assets.
7. (U) LESSON LEARNED: COSCON and Divisional log planners (G4
and DISCOM SPO) must exercise.continuous coordination to ensure
Css requirements are covered by CSS capabilities found in
proposed CSG task organization.
8. (U) RECOMMEND ED ACTION: There are two possible solutions:
First, OPCON a CSG to the DISCOM. This command relationship
ask
organizing, positioning, movement, and prioritizing of support
efforts. Second, although normally associated with FA units,
assign a CSG to REINFORCE the DISCOM. Under REINFORCE, the
employment of the CSG is planned by the supported DISCOM.
Furthermore, the CSG takes priorities of support and missions
from the supported DISCOM only. Additionally, the DISCOM
positions and moves the CSG. The CSG responsibilities for area
support are the same as the DISCOM. This support relationship
entails coordination and agreement between the supported DISCOM
commander and COSCOM commander. Together they must agree that
the proposed CSG organization has the necessary CSS capabilities
to meet envisioned CSS requirements.
9. (U) COMMENTS: Either of these options enhances the potential
to provide effective and continuous logistical support by
clearly focusing CSS priorities and efforts.
