(3) Figure 1-1 shows how one division engineer company might pick up
supplies.
The division engineer battalion is a good place to
examine this principle more closely.
The task organization and
maneuver unit support relationships of the division engineer
battalion, and companies determine the scheme of logistical
support.
If the division engineer companies are in a support
relationship, the division engineer battalion uses the logistical
packaging (LOGPAC) system to support the companies.
If the
division engineer companies are in a command relationship with
the supported unit, the maneuver unit must incorporate them into
the maneuver units LOGPAC system. Each division engineer company
and separate element in the division engineer battalion has a
LOGPAC system.
Each element integrates their LOGPAC into the
maneuver LOGPAC resupply system and moves forward to a specified
logistical release point (LRP) for routine resupply. The Supply
Officer (US Army)(S4) works in conjunction with the headquarters
and headquarters commander and each company executive officer
(XO) to determine LRP locations. LRPs are located well forward
based on the tactical situation.

Effective plans make use of all available

with maneuver
boundaries, and smoothly transfer operation between the two.
