Concept of Support(DS/GS)

! Direct Support USMC Organizations" Division/Wing Organic Maintenance Units" FSSG Mobile DS CSS Units supporting the GCE

# CSSG – 11 (HQ colocated with Division Main)! CSSB-10 (direct support of separate battalions: LAV, AAV,

Tanks, 11th Marines,…)! CSSC-111 (DS of RCT-1)! CSSC-115 (DS of RCT-5)! CSSC-117 (DS of RCT-7)

# CSSB – 22 (DS of TF Tarawa)

Unclassified

! General Support Organizations" FSSG GS Battalions and Maintenance Collection Points

# CSSB-12 (Operated TAA Coyote, SA Basilone, SA Anderson, SA Chesty, SAGeiger)

# CSSB-18 (Operated SA Viper, SA Anderson, and & TAA Coyote)

! Direct Support Plan" Maximize mobile maintenance support teams" Conduct rapid field repairs, selective interchange and/or evacuate to General

Support maintenance collection point" Division of Labor and Repair Cycle Time

! Marine Logistics Command" 4th Echelon " Limited Depot Function

Unclassified

Concept of Support(DS/GS)

Major Challenges

! Motor Transportation" Acquiring lift for Intermediate Maintenance Resources" Prioritizing use of Material Handling Equipment

! Distribution of Table of Equipment (T/E)" Initial Distribution" Redistribution

! Recovery Assets and Areas of Responsibility" Amphibious Assault Vehicle and M88 Tank Retrievers" LVS Wreckers

Unclassified

Class IX (Repair Parts)

! Class IX and SecReps Blocks " Initial blocks were adequately stocked" Heavy parts draw in the Tactical Assembly Areas (Kuwait)" Minimal replenishments from Sources of Supply

! Parts visibility" Iridium Satellite phones to pass data" Garrison processes were not transferable to OIF" No in-transit visibility, 2 - 45 days transit time in theater based on

availability of lift and priority.

! Selective Interchange and Cannibalization.

Unclassified

Lessons Learned

! Forward Position SecReps! Contract Logistics Support requires in-depth

scrutinization ! Multifunction Maintenance Organizations with

Supply integration expedited solutions! Recovery Assets, including HETS, are Force

Multipliers! Fuel and Electric repair is low cost, forward

capability that can salvage critical SecReps! Rolling Contact Teams are enablers

Marines and all units in 29 Palms! CSSG-15 (formerly Supply Bn) conducts GS CSS ops ISO the

MEF and provides maintenance support (3rd/4th Ech) via its subordinate units; CSSB-12, CSSC-133, CSSC-134, and the Reparables Maintenance Activity

! Most 4th Ech will be phased out as part of LEI/ROM

Unclassified

! CSSB-12 provides GS CSS ISO the MEF and provides maintenance support (3rd Ech) via its (4) subordinate CSSC’s and its Support Company.

! CSSC-133 (Formerly IMA Det, Miramar) and CSSC-134 (formerly CSSD-16, Yuma) continue to provide maintenance support (3rd Ech) to the respective 3rd MAW units

! The RMA is a unit comprised of the SecRep repair capabilities ofMaint Bn, the Reparables Issue Point (RIP), and CLS Management for maintenance (i.e. GSM migration to Raytheon Contract)

! The RMA is focused on the repair, management, and distribution of SecReps IOT best support the MEF
