About

FM 54-40 CHAPTER 1 The Battlefield Today's battlefield is more diverse than ever before. Zones of activity cannot be precisely delineated. Threat doctrine stresses penetration into the enemy's support base. The bat- tlefield includes rear areas where combat service support organizations operate. CSS units must constantly adapt their support to the changing needs of combat units.The ability of the CSS system to sustain battlefield operations is vitally important. THE SETTING The nature of the battlefield on which support groups will function cannot be pre- dicted accurately. However, certain char- acteristics are likely to be exhibited. Whenever a TAACOM is deployed, a large, complex area of operations will exist. The enemy will be well organized and capable and will possess sophisticated weaponry.
