FM/C105 - Logistics

---

The FM outlines our core skills, policies and guides to ensure every member stands ready for the mission ahead.

Fill the supply box/crate according to the following criteria:

• Contains the required/requested items
• Only contains authorised items according to FM/C110 - Loadouts and Factions and the campaign brief
• Manage the weight to ensure the box/crate can be moved efficiently

To tow a vehicle:

1. Position the vehicle that will perform the tow close with its rear towards to vehicle to be towed
2. Deploy the tow ropes from the vehicle that will perform the tow
3. Attach the tow ropes to the vehicle to be towed
4. Drive at a reasonable speed while avoiding any obstacles by a wide margin

To patch a wheel:

1. Place it on the ground in a safe place
2. Repair it using ACE interact

To replace a wheel or track:

1. Remove the damaged wheels using ACE Interact on the component node
2. Move the removed wheel to a safe storage
3. Place the new track/wheel close to component node
4. Replace the new track/wheel using ACE Interact on the component node 

To refuel a vehicle:

1. Place the fuel container or fuel vehicle alongside the vehicle in need of fuel
2. Take the fuel nozzle from the fuel container/vehicle
3. Insert the fuel nozzle into the vehicle requiring fuel
4. Monitor fueling progress
5. Detach the fuel nozzle and return it to the fuel container/vehicle

To repair a vehicle:

1. Place the repair vehicle alongside the vehicle in need of repair
2. Repair components in the following order:
   1. Fuel tank (if leaking)
   2. Requests from the crew
   3. Mobility
   4. Firepower
   5. Other

To rearm a vehicle:

1. Place the ammo container or ammo vehicle alongside the vehicle in need of rearm
2. Communicate with the vehicle crew to determine whatever ammo might be needed and what to prioritize
3. Take the ammo from the ammo container/vehicle and put it into the vehicle in need of a rearm
4. Return any excess ammo to the ammo container/vehicle

A forward resupply point (FRP) is a temporary location where supplies and equipment are stored and distributed to forward-deployed units. FRPs are typically established in areas that are close to the front lines of combat. When planning ahead for an operation or during a mission itself, an FRP is mostly decided based upon easy access from logistical hubs or the safety of airborne routes and attached landing zones. It is important to determine how safe an FRP is from a possible attack in the rear areas and how easy it is to get supplies in or out. Try to avoid a location with a single, small entry and exit or no suitable landing zone close by. Using terrain or concealment can provide natural cover and reduce the amount of personnel needed for maintaining security.

There are three categories for logistical resupply points:

• Vehicle resupply point (VRP)
• Infantry resupply point (IRP)
• Combined resupply point

Vehicle andiInfantry resupply points provide supply and service to their indicated category, where a combined resupply point designates the ability to provide support to multiple unit types.

VRPs are able to provide rearmament of vehicle weapons, refuelling, and repair a vehicle fully. They may also be used as advanced staging points for spare vehicles or storage of transport and utility vehicles when ground units are not using them.IRPs are the main point or resupply for personnel. They are able to provide ammo, supplies and equipment to all units deployed in the Area of Operation. IRPs may also include a Casualty Collection Point or Field Hospital for use by medical personnel during ressupply or as a staging point for CMT or MERT.

A combined resupply point designates any other type of resupply point that provides combined support to infantry and vehicles. They are commonly used when combined arms are deployed where vehicles and infantry formed a mixed element and are often needing resupply at the same time. FRPs are also used when infantry units are deployed, but a small number of vehicles are present, in those cases the establishment of a separate VRP would strain the logistical element.

Establish a vehicle resupply point so that fulfills it the following requirements:

• A secure location
• Enough distance between crates/boxes for infantry to stand around in a circle around each crate
• Enough room for the logistics vehicles to manoeuver
• Multiple entry/exit points if possible
• Overhead coverage if possible

Establish a vehicle resupply point so that fulfills it the following requirements:

• A secure location
• Enough room for vehicles to manoeuver
• A repair station with easy vehicle access
• An ammo station with easy vehicle access
• Multiple entry/exit points if possible

Establish a combined resupply point so that fulfills it the requirements of both FM/BS-1127 - Establish an infantry resupply point and FM/BS-1126 - Establish a vehicle resupply point.

The infantry part of the resupply point should not hinder the operation of the vehicle one, and vice versa
