Training a Brigade Support Battalion at Home Station

摘要

The brigade combat team's (BCT's) current mission set involves operating in a complex environment with simultaneous requirements ranging from stability to decisive action operations. Supporting these operations in expeditionary conditions requires a well-trained brigade support battalion (BSB). In order for a BSB to be truly ready, it must be trained on brigade-level sustainment systems. In addition to the relevant training doctrine outlined in Army doctrine publications (ADPs) and Army doctrine reference publications (ADRPs), a home-station training strategy and a combined arms training strategy (CATS) are useful tools.
