Part I, Support of a Corps, was prepared to provide guidance on the effect of the DA-directed implementation of the Recommendations in the Echelons- Above-Division (EAD) Study. Part Two, when published, will contain data on the Rapid Integrated Logistics Support System (RILS) and support of a corps contingency force. Use of a COSCOM which has been modified to provide support of a separate corps is discussed in the RILS Study. The revision concentrates primarily on the elimination of the Field Army Support Command (FASCOM), and the Materiel Command (MATCOM) and their Subordinate Support Brigades, and replaces them with a newly-formed Corps Support Command (COSCOM) and the Theater Army Area Command, (TAACOM), respectively. Also covered is the merger of the Theater Army support command (TASCOM) Headquarters with the Theater Army Headquarters.
