 Logistics Risk in the Stryker Brigade Combat Team
Decentralized operations and the vast array of potential circumstances and adversaries do not permit the routine allotment of combat forces to protect CSS assets, so it is imperative that CSS units and vehicles are able to mitigate the security risk by securing themselves, their area of operations, and their movements.
To do this in combat operations against any credible opponent, the SBCT must be augmented with attack aviation and artillery assets to destroy enemy direct and indirect fire systems before they can fire on and damage elements of the brigade.
Even though risk to the brigade as a whole can be mitigated through different operational techniques and increased fires, the security of lines of communication and protection of limited distribution personnel, vehicles, and equipment are still at risk.
