  4. Outline • What are Field Services • Field Feeding • Shower, Laundry, and Clothing Repair • Mortuary Affairs • Aerial Resupply • Planners, Managers, and Organizations • Supporting Offense, Defense, Reconstitution and Stability and Civil Support Operations

  5. Field Services Field services are essential to enhance a Soldier's quality of life during operations. Field Services Include: • Field Feeding • Shower, Laundry and Clothing Repair • Mortuary affairs • Preparation for aerial delivery • Water production (covered with fuel instruction)

  6. Field Feeding

  7. Army Field Feeding Operations • Unit Commanders’ responsibility • Standard is three quality meals/day • Rations are packaged as individual or group meals • Feeding schedules are based on established operations orders and timelines

  8. Field Feeding • The field feeding system assumes CORPS and DIV wide use of the MRE • The theater transitions from the MREs to unitized group rations (UGR) after approximately 30 days • UGR-A (fresh foods) during extended deployments of 90+ days • 21-Day contingency operations (CONOPS) menu when deployed beyond 180 days • Food service support will be required for attached units

  11. Shower, Laundry, and Clothing Repair (SLCR) • There are no SLCR support assets organic to the HBCT • The QM Field Services Company, DIV/Corps Sustainment Brigades provides tactical SLCR services • Shower and Laundry Goal: Provide weekly shower and launder up to 15 pounds of clothes a week • Modular design: 6 SLCR sections each support 3,500 Soldiers (Total of 21,000 Soldiers a week) • Must consider the additional water requirement resulting from SLCR use (15-20,000 gal/day) • Laundry Advanced System (LADS) uses approximately 500 gal/day

  12. Mortuary Affairs

  13. Mortuary Affairs Program Divided into three distinct sub-programs: • Current Death • Operates worldwide in peacetime, may continue in mass fatality events/low intensity conflict • Provides mortuary supplies and services for permanent disposition of remains • Concurrent Return • Preferred method of handling remains during conflicts • Provides for search, recovery, evacuation, tentative ID, mortuary services, and shipment to final destination • Graves Registration • Activated only upon approval of the Geographic Combatant Commander • Provides for search, recovery, tentative ID, and, as a last resort, temporary internment in theater

  16. CO HQ COLL PLT FORWARD COLL PLT MAIN COLL SEC RECEIVING SHIPPING Mortuary Affairs Collection Company • Collection Platoons will be attached to the DIV Sustainment Brigade. • The platoon will attach collection sections to the BSB of each BCT. • Each section has refrigeration capability. • Each section capable ofprocessing up to 20remains per day.

  17. Support from a Mortuary Affairs Team • The HBCT is dependent on augmentation for collection, processing and evacuation. The team operates from the BSA and is responsible for processing remains. • The team has no transportation capabilities and coordinates with the support operations officer for evacuation back to the theater mortuary evacuation point (TMEP). • Internal to the HBCT, handling teams are pre-designated at the battalion level and operate in the combat trains. NOTE: It is the maneuver battalion FSC’s responsibility to evacuate remains from the combat trains to the BSA A mortuary affairs team from the sustainment brigade provides mortuary affairs support to the HBCT.

  18. TAJI, IRAQ Mortuary Affairs Site Selection • Accessible to a good road network (MSR) • In close proximity, but not in view of the CSH • Reasonably removed from Class I/Water point • Accessible to rotarywing aircraft (LZ) • Concealed fromcasual view • Sanitation facilitiesavailable • SECURE

  19. Forward MA Collection Point • 1 FWD CP Assigned Per BDE SPT BN • Assigned MA Collection Company • 6 Personnel Per MACP working 2 – 12 Hour Shifts • Process approximately 20 Remains / 24 Hours • Requires Life Support, Medical and Maintenance Support from Supported Unit • Equipment: 1 – 20’ Refrigeration Van, Trailer Mounted 1 – 5-Ton Tractor 1 – 5-Ton Cargo Truck 1 – 400 Gallon Water Trailer 2 – Tents MISSION: Conduct limited search and evacuation operations of deceased U.S. Military, certain U.S. civilian and Allied personnel. Receive, inventory, and coordinate evacuation of Personal Effects (PE) with remains.

  20. Main MA Collection Point • 1 Main CP Assigned per CORPS • Assigned from the CORPS MA Collection Company • Requires Life Support, Medical and Maintenance Support from Supported Unit • Major Equipment: • 1 – HMMWV • 5 – 20’ Refrigeration Van, Trailer Mounted • 5 – 5-Ton Tractor • 2 – 2 1/2 -Ton Cargo Truck • 2 – R/T Forklift MISSION: Establish, operate, and maintain a CORPS Main Collection Point that receives remains and Personal Effects (PE) from the Forward Collection Points.

  21. TMEP Theater Mortuary Evacuation Point(TMEP) • 2 Platoons from the QM MA CO (EAC) • Assigned to a Theater Sustainment Command • Each Platoon can Process 250 Remains / 24 Hours • Requires UCMJ, Life Support, Medical and Maintenance Support from Supported Unit • Major Equipment (Dependent upon Theater Resources): 2 – HMMWV 3 – 20’ Refrigeration Van, Trailer Mounted 3 – 5-Ton Tractor 2 – 2 1/2 -Ton Cargo Truck (LMTV) 1 – R/T Forklift 1 – 400 Gallon Water Trailer MISSION:Establish, operate, and maintain a Theater Mortuary Evacuation Point (Concurrent Return) or Temporary Interment sites in Theater (Graves Registration).

  22. Mortuary Affairs NCO, SPO Supply and Services Cell • Advises the BSB commander • Coordinates MA operations • Trains the brigade and BSB units and personnel • Establishes the mortuary affairs collection point in the BSA • Coordinates for augmentation • Maintains files • Plans and coordinates escort of remains

  23. Mortuary Affairs Support Operations • At unit level, remains are tentatively identified and evacuated to the Battalion Aid Station for medical verification • Unit commanders are responsible for initial search, recovery, identification, and evacuation of remains to the MACP. (The FSC distribution platoon evacuates remains to the BCT MACP.) • The sustainment BDE MA Co deploys a MA platoon forward to the DIV. The MA platoon then sends a MA collection section to the BSB. • The MACP provides temporary storage of remains and personal effects (PE) before evacuating the remains and their accompanying PE to a MACP sustainment BDE or the TMEP.

  24. Mortuary Affairs Evacuation • Vehicles bringing supplies (except Class I) to the BSA evacuate remains from the BSA collection point as a backhaul mission or by throughput to the sustainment brigade collection company • Evacuation of remains from the HBCT to DIV mortuary affairs collection point or theater mortuary evacuation point (TMEP) • The recommended method of evacuation of remains is air evacuation (fixed or rotary wing) in coordination with the BSB support operations and DIV G3 air. • Applying the throughput concept, remains may be evacuated directly to the rear for shipment to the port of embarkation (POE) mortuary.

  28. Aerial Resupply

  29. Aerial Resupply Operations • The HBCT has no aerial delivery capability • Air Force airlift and Army aviation assets may supplement the HBCT’s transportation capability • When supply routes become severely disrupted, the use of aerial delivery may be necessary • Units must be prepared to receive both air-dropped and sling-loaded supplies • BSB SPO must coordinate for the backhaul for aerial delivery equipment (sling sets, parachutes, platforms, etc.) Methods of Aerial Delivery: • Airdrop Operations • Sling load Operations • Airland Operations

  30. Methods of Aerial Resupply AIRDROP OPERATIONS SLINGLOAD OPERATIONS AIRLAND OPERATIONS

  31. Airdrop Operations Airdrop Operations • High Velocity - Can be used to drop subsistence, packaged POL and ammunition. Parachute has enough drag to hold the load in an upright position. Rate of descent is 70-90 feet per second. • Low Velocity - Used for fragile material such as vehicles or artillery pieces. Items are rigged on a airdrop platform or in an airdrop container. Rate of descent is approximately 28 feet per second. • Free Drop - Used to drop barrier material, PSYOPS material, rations or other non-breakable items. No parachute or retarding device is used for free drop. Rate of descent for free drop is 130 to 150 feet per second.

  32. Airland Operations • Requires an operational and secure airfield/field landing strip, material handling equipment (MHE) and fuel storage containers when using “Bladder Birds.” • Can load 6 - 463L pallets on a C130, 13 - 463L pallets on a C141, and 18 - 463L pallets on a C17. • C130 “Bladder Birds” can provide 6,000 gallons of fuel (2,400 peacetime, and C141 “Bladder Birds” can provide 9,000 gallons

  33. Slingload Operations • Relies on recovery of assets • Pinpoint supplies on the ground • Versatile, priorities can be shifted easily • Load depends on the aircraft • (CH-47 vs. UH-60) • Maximize backhaul • Uses Army aviation assets • Must have trained personnel • SLICC, Pathfinder, Air Assault

  34. Aerial Resupply Operations Advantages include: • Permitting throughput of supplies from Sustainment Brigades to using units, even if the unit is in an unreachable area • Reduces the need for forward airfields or landing zones • Permits greater dispersion of ground tactical forces • Reduces delivery time (travel time only) • Provides a shorter turnaround time than ground combat logistics patrols Disadvantages include: • Vulnerability to enemy aircraft & ground fire • Fewer supplies & equipment that can be carried • The need for specialty trained rigging and drop zone personnel • The impact of adverse weather on delivery capabilities and accuracy • The impact of aircraft availability and operational readiness rates
