What does Doctrine say about ATHP Guard Forces?

Protection
FM 4-0 Sustainment Chapter 1-8 (Survivability): Survivability is the ability to protect personnel, information, infrastructure, and assets from destruction or degradation. It includes all aspects of protecting personnel (includes FHP), materiel, and organizations while deceiving the enemy. The ability of adversaries to disrupt the flow of sustainment could significantly degrade forces ability to conduct operations as well as sustain them. Planners integrates survivability with operational planning to maximize survivability. Dispersion and decentralization of sustainment functions enhances survivability. The commander may have to balance risk with survivability in considering redundant capabilities and alternative support plans. The ability to protect lines of communications promotes survivability, helping to ensure operational reach and endurance.

Force Design Update Impacts

One standard platoon with the capability that encompasses all capabilities of the MLP/HLPs that can support containerized operations as needed and with minimal reliance on external support. The Rear ATP section of the MLP will stand down. Personnel savings of 110 Enlisted personnel across the total force structure. Material savings of 22 rough terrain container cranes, 33 6K rough terrain forklifts, and 33 HMMWVs across the total force structure. No new tasks to train. Increased requirement for MOS 91B10 R1, RTCH Mech, which was offset by the loss of the 91L10, Construction Equipment Repairer. More flexible in regards to supportability; only the number of PLT/RTCH teams needed to support the force are deployed. 21 Increased ammunition reconfiguration capacity.

Unit Remarks
For an IBCT, the typical operating environment has limited

vehicular accessibility. This means that combat configured loads (CCLs) of ammunition must be carried by personnel; however, if the CCLs are larger than a basic load personnel cannot physically carry them. At what level are combat configured loads (CCLs) determined? Where are these loads held? (i.e. ATHP? ASP?) . Due to the limited accessibility of the operating environment that an IBCT will be typically deploy to, there is an increased need for aerial delivery of ammunition. Currently, Soldiers with the additional skill identifiers (ASIs) for Air Assault and Pathfinder are not authorized on the IBCTs BSB MTOE. We foresee this as a potential issue with the increased demand for aerial resupply. Could we expect in the future to have those ASIs authorized at the BSB level?

Unit Remarks
Recommendations:
Change the Ammo Warrant for the position of the Ammunition Officer in HHC BSB. The Ammunition Logistics NCOIC and Ammunition Warrant can provide quality CL V support. Assign the ATHP Section to HHC BSB. This will enable the Ammo Warrant the ability to oversee training and provide mentorship to the NCOs in the section. This will also enable the Ammo Warrant the ability to have sight across the brigade by working directly for the SPO in the Support Operations Office. ATHP section needs to be augmented with the Ammo Inspector which is currently assigned to HHC BSB. This will ensure continuous ammunition surveillance support at all times in the presence or absence of the QASAS. Security element outside of the ATHP section needs to be included as doctrinal dependency or regulation guideline, otherwise Ammunition soldiers are tasked to conduct security on the ammo operation which limits qualified MOS specific personnel downrange to process ammunition. This also heightens the hazard risks and can result in a loss of accountability when personnel who are not properly trained to handle and account for ammunition are tasked to work in the ATHP. Authorize the 5K Rough Terrain Forklift for the ATHP section to provide better maneuverability for containerized storage. 10K forklifts although they have the capability to lift heavier loads do not maneuver well when working with containerized ammunition.

Ammunition Tool Kit


Description: The Ammunition Tool Kit consists of five independent storage chests to store 120 hand tools. The containers include secure storage space for a complete base set of commercial off the shelf (COTS) and government furnished industrial quality tools and equipment needed to perform Field and Sustainment level maintenance on conventional ammunition. Capabilities: Provides the tools and equipment for ammunition soldiers in the Modular Ammunition Company and Ammunition Transfer & Holding Point (ATHP) to receive, store, issue and maintain ammunition in a field environment. Objective: The new Ammunition Tool Kit NSN 4940-01-563-4024 replaces two kits currently in the field with modernized tools and components. The kit is modular, scalable and tailorable to mission requirements. Warfighting Capability: Increases the quantity of serviceable ammunition to the warfighter by providing the necessary tools and equipment to maintain the ammunition. Reduces logistics footprint by providing a specifically designed common tool set for ammunition soldiers to perform two level maintenance.
