Appendix B
TSC Plans and Orders
The theater support command’s (TSC’s) internal and support operations staffs,
respectively, conduct two distinct planning processes that produce two major
staff products. These are the service support order, or annex, for the Army forces
(ARFOR), and the TSC’s order for its internal operations. The ARFOR support
order/annex may be produced in the TSC support operations section, and is au-
thenticated by the ARFOR commander, or his designee, normally the ARFOR G3
or G4. The TSC G3 produces the TSC internal order and the TSC commander au-
thenticates it. The ARFOR order will be found either in FM 5-0 (FM 101-5), or
Annex D (CJCSM 3122.03) of the ARFOR operation order (OPORD)/operation
plan (OPLAN), or it will a separate service support plan accompanying the
ARFOR commander OPORD.
A sample ARFOR-level order is found in Annex A of this appendix. This format is
an amalgamation of joint and Army formats, and is provided as a guide only. The
issuing headquarters determines the exact format to fit operational require-
ments.
In addition to the basic appendix, the TSC also produces necessary annexes to
cover areas such as transportation, maneuver and mobility support, human re-
source management, and others as needed. These formats are available in the
publications referenced above. A sample distribution annex is included at Annex
B of this appendix. This type of annex is not included in other doctrinal publica-
tions. This may accompany or be used in lieu of the transportation appendix.
The principal difference between the ARFOR service support order and the TSC
internal order is the precedence. The ARFOR support order/annex is the primary
source of guidance for the content of the TSC order. The TSC internal order is
always a complete order in itself with applicable annexes. The ARFOR support
order/annex specifies support tasks for the ARFOR commander’s major subordi-
nate commands, to include the TSC and specialized commands. It will not nor-
mally task units within the TSC. This is the purpose of the TSC order. The TSC
order tasks units assigned to the TSC to accomplish the requirements presented
in the ARFOR service support order. (TSC staff officers become thoroughly famil-
iar with the ARFOR’s basic order.)
An example of the difference between the ARFOR service support order/annex
and the TSC order is visible immediately in the “Commander’s Intent” para-
graph. If the ARFOR support order contains the ARFOR commander’s intent
(most formats do not require this), it restates the commander’s intent, verbatim,
from the basic order, or simply references the basic order. The TSC order always
states the TSC commander’s intent in terms of his specific vision for accomplish-
ing the operational support mission.

Annex B
Distribution Annex or Appendix Template
The TSC distribution appendix is properly placed as an appendix to Annex I
(Service Support) of the ARFOR OPORD/OPLAN. If the ARFOR commander
publishes a separate service support plan, the distribution plan may be an annex
to that document, or the distribution plan may be an annex/appendix to Annex L
(Logistics) in the joint format. The ARFOR G4 and TSC support operations offi-
cer determine the placement of the distribution plan. The TSC deputy com-
mander for support operations (DCSO) has primary responsibility for validating
the distribution appendix. The plans and policy office of the TSC support opera-
tions section produces the document. The distribution appendix is produced for
the ARFOR by the TSC because the TSC is the ARFOR proponent for theater
distribution.
The TSC G3 produces the TSC OPORD/OPLAN. This plan explains how the TSC
organizes and employs its units to support the ARFOR scheme of service support
and the accompanying distribution plan. The TSC G4 produces the TSC service
support annex to the TSC OPLAN or a separate, standing service support plan
as directed the TSC chief of staff. This annex or plan explains how the TSC sup-
ports itself consistent with the TSC OPLAN.
The TSC chief of staff ensures that the TSC’s coordinating staff (particularly the
G3 and G4) and the support operations staff (particularly the plans and policy of-
fice and the distribution management center) work closely together to form con-
sistent and supportable plans for theater distribution, TSC operations, and TSC
internal support.
This appendix contains a suggested format for the distribution plan based on the
formats published in Army and joint doctrine. Because the TSC functions at the
operational level, the accepted format for plans and orders may come from either
Army doctrine for organizations up to the corps level (FM 5-0 [FM 101-5]) or from
joint guidance (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Memorandum (CJCSM)
3122.03). The chief of staff of the issuing command determines the proper for-
mats for the service support annex or the separate service support plan.

Annex B
Time Zone Used Throughout the Appendix/Annex:
1. SITUATION
a. Enemy Forces.
See Annex B (Intelligence) or the intelligence estimate and the analysis of the AO. Extract, proc-
ess, and template the information pertinent to the distribution system.
(1)
Terrain. Discuss the principal effects and implications of terrain on distribution in
the theater. For example, discuss how mountain ranges, bodies of water, deserts, or other topog-
raphical conditions affect time-distance factors of distribution given the movement, storage, and
informational assets available.
(2)
Weather. List specific effects of the expected weather patterns on the distribution
system. For example, estimate the extent to which extreme heat, extreme cold, or excessive pre-
cipitation may enhance or degrade the distribution system.
(3)
Enemy capabilities. Discuss, in terms of their likely courses of action, those
known enemy capabilities that can specifically affect the most vulnerable parts of the distribu-
tion system, both physical and informational. For example, do SOF/partisan presence, NBC
weapons/hazards, theater ballistic missile threats, or information warfare threats pose the
greatest threat to distribution in the theater as a whole?
b. Friendly Forces.
(1)
Higher headquarters. State the mission of the ARFOR and/or the mission of the
supported joint force as applicable. Consult the ARFOR OPORD Annex I (Service Support) and
the supported JFC OPORD, in particular Annex D (Logistics Estimate) and Appendix 4 (Plan-
ning Guidance—Mobility and Transportation).
(2)
Joint/multinational boards, bureaus, and centers. Specify the command and staff
relationships of the TSC support operations distribution function with JFC-level boards, bu-
reaus, and centers. Address the interface with the joint/multinational movement cen-
ter/transportation board. Address other boards and centers as they affect distribution.
(3)
Strategic support organizations. State the specific missions being performed by,
and C2 relationship with, key strategic agencies that interface with the TSC. Examples in-
clude—
(a)
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Include the DLA contingency support
team (DCST).
(b)
USTRANSCOM. Include the role of Military Traffic Management Com-
mand (MTMC) and Air Mobility Command.
(c)
U.S. Army Materiel Command (USAMC). Include the role of the logistics
support element (LSE).
(d) Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS). Include the role of the
DFAS and its interface with the finance command.
(e)
Others as necessary, to include contractors.
c. Attachments and Detachments. Refer to Annex A (Task Organization). Describe in
detail, the command relationship with the specialized commands
(ENCOM, MEDCOM,
PERSCOM, FINCOM, TRANSCOM). List the specific conditions implied by such terms such as
“attached” and “OPCON.” State exactly what responsibilities, if any, the TSC commander has for
the operational mission of each specialized area.
B-B-3
________________________________________________________________________
FM 4-93.4 (FM 63-4)
2. MISSION
State the overall distribution management mission in terms of task and purpose. For example,
the 110th TSC, through its support operations section, orchestrates the onward movement of the
VII (U.S.) Corps from ports of debarkation to the tactical assembly area (TAA) vicinity AB1234
in order to provide a combat ready corps to the ARFOR commander NLT 120300ZOCT00.
3. EXECUTION
INTENT: Repeat the ARFOR commander intent from paragraph 3 of the basic ARFOR OPORD
and the TSC commander’s intent from paragraph 3 of the TSC OPORD.
a. Scheme of Distribution. Refer to Tab A (Physical Network Overlay). Explain how the
scheme of distribution supports the ARFOR commander's and TSC commander’s intents in
terms of the main effort/means for distribution in support of the force. For example, if the TSC
commander stated his intent to move the corps along a particular axis, by certain means, in or-
der to support the ARFOR commander’s intent, then the TSC support operations officer may
frame the scheme of distribution as follows:
Distribution managers will give priority of force tracking to monitoring the flow of VII (U.S.)
Corps troops, materiel, and sustainment along MSR BEAR (Rail), MSR CAT (Road), MSR FISH
(River), and Air Corridor EAGLE. Distribution managers will ensure that these routes are being
used at or above 85 percent capacity at all times until the ARFOR commander confirms the
corps’ closure at TAA INDIA. Secondary effort will be to receive and stage the 52d Infantry Divi-
sion for subsequent movement to the TAA BRAVO. Be prepared to move advance elements of the
52d Division, on order, to TAA BRAVO simultaneously with the movement of VII (U.S.) Corps if
enemy COA 2 appears likely.
b. Force Generation. Specify the priority, location, time sensitivity, and purpose of
friendly force capabilities that are required in the AO. These can be expressed in terms of the
operating systems or combat capabilities necessary to attack or defend by a given time. (Use the
terms that best follow the intent statements of the ARFOR commander and TSC commander,
respectively.) Focus on the capability of the operational force rather than on the support appara-
tus. (The TSC G3 has responsibility for monitoring infrastructure and TSC force structure to
ensure they meet the requirements of the operation.)
Describe the CAPACITY, the CONTROL measures, and the means by which VISIBILITY is
maintained for resources en route on MSRs, ASRs, air corridors, and sea lanes at each of the fol-
lowing points (refer to Tab C [Distribution Matrix]):
• Reception ports, port support activities, and port management.
• Marshaling areas.
• Staging base(s).
• Assembly areas.
c. Force Sustainment. Specify the concept for distribution operations to support the
force once it is closed. Include the following considerations (refer to the matrix at Tab D):
• Pre-positioned stocks.
• ALOC.
• SEALOC.
• Time-definite delivery schedules.
• Mechanisms to maximize throughput.
B-B-4
__________________________________________________________________________________
Annex B
• Distribution terminal(s).
• Retrograde considerations.
d. Coordinating Instructions.
(1)
Friendly force information requirements (FFIR). Clearly state the FFIR, which
are items of information that allow the commander and staff to determine the capabilities of his
forces. The distribution management system, at every level, exists primarily to provide this type
of visibility to the commander. These are the items of information that each distribution man-
ager actively seeks, processes, and transmits to the commander with high priority in time to
speed and enhance the friendly forces decision cycle. Examples of FFIR may include, but are not
limited to—
• Any point in the TPFDD when the known requirements for RSO&I ex-
ceed the known capacity of any part of the distribution system, and by
how much at a given place and time.
• When elements of particular combat or combat support units arrive or
begin to move.
• How the maximum-on-ground (MOG) capacity of an APOD affects the
distribution scheme, and what alternatives or work-arounds exist.
• The effect on distribution of insufficient lighterage needed to open an
SPOD or increase usage of inland waterways and the alternative solu-
tions.
• The effect on distribution of bottlenecks or attacks on MSR or
APOD/SPODs, and whether additional engineer and/or chemical work,
or opening an alternate route could best solve the problem.
• The effect on distribution of the relative capacities of roads, bridges,
tunnels, or railways.
(2)
Essential elements of friendly information (EEFI). List those troop/materiel
movements and items of information passing through the distribution system that must be kept
from the enemy. Keep in mind that if the enemy can read the distribution pattern, he can detect
and counter the commander’s plan. Work with the G2 to develop security procedures and
counter-measures consistent with the overall OPLAN.
(3)
Tasks to control centers.
(a) Movement control agency (MCA). Specify any significant tasks for the MCA
that require emphasis, or that the order does not state or imply elsewhere.
(b) Materiel management center (MMC). Specify any significant tasks for the
MMC that require emphasis, or that the order does not state or imply elsewhere.
(c) Medical logistical management center (MLMC). Specify any significant tasks
to the MLMC that require emphasis, or that the order does not state or imply elsewhere.
(4)
Military police (supporting unit) tasks. State the key tasks the MPs perform to
support traffic management, security, and enemy prisoners of war (EPWs) operations as they
affect the distribution system.
B-B-5
________________________________________________________________________
FM 4-93.4 (FM 63-4)
(5)
Rear operations center (ROC) coordination. List the priority installations, sys-
tems, and routes for focused security attention. Focus on just those points in the distribution sys-
tem that, if compromised, will jeopardize the execution of the ARFOR mission.
(6)
Civil affairs (supporting unit) coordination. State any critical requirements for
clearance/permission to use host nation facilities and infrastructure that significantly affect dis-
tribution operations. Specify any requirement for command interface with local government and
or police/military to augment route or installation security. If any civil-military or humanitarian
support operations are known or anticipated, discuss those here. Identify religious/civil holidays
and laws that directly affect host nation support and movement conditions.
(7)
Host nation support directorate role. Identify any materiel and facility require-
ments that will come from non-military sources.
(8)
Contracting directorate role. Identify the principal assistant responsible for con-
tracting (PARC) and headquarters to which he belongs (the ARFOR/ASCC). State the role of con-
tracting in terms of the support capabilities that will be procured via contract and how these
capabilities will support theater distribution. Identify operating locations for contracting officers.
(9)
Chemical unit (supporting unit) tasks. State the key tasks chemical units per-
form to support NBC detection and identification and decontamination operations as they affect
the distribution system.
(10)
Other. Identify other coordinating instructions as necessary.
e. Civilian Considerations. Assess the affect of civilians on distribution. Include consid-
erations for: non-combatant evacuation operations (NEO), dislocated civilians (DCs), enemy
prisoners of war (EPWs), and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as contractor ef-
fects.
4. SERVICE SUPPORT
a. Supply. Indicate which items by class of supply, in what quantities, and at what lo-
cations are most critical to the distribution system. Focus on those items that directly support
the operational mission rather than what the TSC itself may need or consume. (The TSC G4
plans and coordinates internal support for the TSC.) The distribution manager is interested in
potential incidents (time and place) where a lack of supplies will become war-stoppers that jeop-
ardize the ARFOR mission. Two examples are—
(1)
Class IIIB. The plan may have to indicate that (so many gallons) of a type of fuel
are needed at (this point) at (this time) for (this unit) in order to conduct operations as directed
in the ARFOR commander/TSC commander's order.
(2)
Class VII. The plan may have to indicate that MHE (of a certain type) is required
at (these APODs/SPODs) at (this time) in order to receive and off-load (this equipment) to meet
the commander’s distribution objectives for the operational units.
b. Transportation. Cover highway regulations; host nation infrastructure; coordination
among the TSC MCA, MCBs, transportation planners, and operators; and how transportation
relates to executing the commander’s priorities for force generation and sustainment. (Refer to
the Traffic Circulation and Control Appendix of the Service Support Annex. This is produced by
the MCA and includes a tabbed section with a traffic circulation overlay (done by the MPs), a
tabbed section with a road movement table, and a tabbed section with highway regulations.)
B-B-6
__________________________________________________________________________________
Annex B
c. Field Services. Include a description of how the plan to provide field services affects
the distribution system. Include such items as—
(1)
Location of mortuary affairs collection points and processing facilities.
(2)
Locations and capabilities of field services facilities, such as shower points, water
purification sites, etc.
d. Maintenance and Evacuation. Prioritize the retrograde movement and allocation of
repair parts and maintenance man-hours among the supported units.
e. Medical Evacuation. State the locations and capabilities of—
• Hospitals.
• Medical treatment facilities.
• Preventive medicine facilities.
• Casualty evacuation operations.
f.
Human Resources Support. Describe the aspects of human resources support that
rely on or affect the distribution system, such as the flow of replacements into and within the
theater and the location of postal facilities and the flow of mail.
g. Religious Support. Describe the religious support plan for area and unit coverage;
coordination for supplies; denominational coverage; significant holy days during the operation;
unit coverage issues during each phase of the operation; and any other coordination information
to implement religious coverage.
5. COMMAND AND SIGNAL
a. Command.
(1)
Chain of command. (Refer to the ARFOR and TSC OPORDs listing for chain of
command.)
(2)
Distribution channels. Identify the distribution managers at each echelon down
to the support operations officers at brigade level.
b. Signal. (Refer to Tab B) Work with the CSS AMO to develop the communications and
automation infrastructure. Show the connectivity with ATAV, GTN, WPS, CAPS, legacy
STAMIS , AIT, and GCSS-Army and TC-AIMS II on fielding and availability. The TSC distribu-
tion manager’s concern here extends through the depth of the theater for purposes of visibility.
Therefore, he has to work with not only the TSC CSS AMO, but also the G6 of the ARFOR and
the supported corps to ensure comprehensive visibility throughout the theater.

Force projection
The systematic movement of military forces from CONUS or
an economy of force theater in response to requirements for
military operations in a theater focus. Force projection opera-
tions extend from mobilization and deployment of forces, to
redeployment to CONUS or home theater, to subsequent de-
mobilization. Force projection includes the following eight
stages: mobilization; predeployment; deployment; entry op-
erations; decisive operations; post-conflict operations; rede-
ployment and reconstitution; and demobilization.
Force protection
Security program designed to protect service members, civil-
ian employees, family members, facilities, and equipment, in
all locations and situations, accomplished through planned
and integrated application of combating terrorism, physical
security, operations security, personal protective services,
