The purpose of this manual is to depict the Army CSS organizations and describe how they support commanders at all echelons by manning, arming, fueling, fixing, and moving their forces. It will thus provide the basis for subordinate CSS doctrine, materiel, training, and organizational development. The intended audience of the manual is threefold: combat and combat support commanders and staffs to provide a more universal understanding of how CSS is organized and provided; CSS commanders and staffs to institutionalize the integration of CSS into the total Army mission; and students to provide a broad knowledge of the CSS structure and of how it operates. The goal of Army combat service support is to enable the maneuver commander to conduct combat operations. CSS doctrine is a major component of Air Land Battle doctrine as described in FM 100-5.
