FOREWORD

This manual is published to provide interim guidance to commanders, staff officers, and other personnel concerned with Combat Service Support under the TASTA-70 concept of organization and operation. Additional, more detailed guidance is contained in other test field manuals covering major combat service support subject areas. This information can be utilized to facilitate reorganization under the TASTA concept. Firm information on the organizational structure and composition of units will be as contained in TOEs when published. Although the basic TASTA-70 study has been approved by Department of the Army, detailed doctrine contained in this test field manual is under continuing development and review. This test manual will be superseded, by FM 54-3, The Field Army Support Command, FM 54-6, The Area Support Command, and FM 54^7, The Theater Army Support Command.
