A

12 hrs

10hrs to close
2hrs to open

A CSST is a step up log node that is a coy size. It is taskorgansied to support activities such as a BG decisive, POL, deliberate reorg. they are designed to support a Bde for up to 24hrs (whilst BSG moves)

A CSST typically has:
Coy HQ
Tpt Sect
Elms from Cbt Sups Pl
FRG
R2E
Spt Engrs
Unit A Ech
Commodity points (AP/PP/WP)

Q

How long does a deliberate reorg of a BG and Coy take?

And what are considerations for it

Study These Flashcards
A

BG 12hrs

Coy 6hrs

Out of contact from enemy. Will see distribution of combat supplies, evac of cas and repair/ recovery of vehicles.

A priority for reorg should be listed e.g
1 - Attached assets you are returning
2 - The ME BG
3 - supporting CT

24
Q

How long does an immediate reorg for a BG take and what does that involve?

Study These Flashcards
A

1 hr is conducted whilst still in contact. The unit A ech conducts resupply whilst cas are transported. Coys cycle through a distribution point and being in contact

52
Explain how SOSRA works (concept, assets, timings)
Will see Supression and Obscuration occur concurrently, taking 10 mins Aslt gp will secure the home bank, taking 10 mins CDP to push CS Tp fwd is made (2x sects up with a third in rear for redundancy). This will see a mine plough, roller and viper approach each lane. They will detect the obstacle ‘irregular outer edge’ then launch viper. Blowing a 180m long and 7m wide lane. Plough will clear the lane, using VLB for ditches. Taking 10mins. Assault will occur - taking 10mins to passage the LAV. If tank is in the aslt it will need the SEQ sect and MTMC to clear a 10m wide gap.
