Forward Support Battalion
- Forward Support Battalion
A Forward Support Battalion was an Army of Excellence combat service support unit designed to support a Brigade. In divisions, it was part of the Division Support Command (DISCOM).
It was composed of:
* Headquarters & A Company, which provided command, control, and oversight for the battalion & quartermaster support to the brigade. However, the Forward Support Battalions of Armored and Mechanized Brigades would have a separate Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment (HHD) and A Company.
* B Company, which provided maintenance support to the brigade both with 3rd Shop, and Maintenance Support Teams attached to the individual battalions.
* C Company, which provided Level II medical support to the Brigade.
With the conversion to the Modular Force, the FSBs are being replaced with Brigade Support Battalions (BSBs)
