The Army has undergone a dramatic transformation over the last five years. It has become a modular “brigade-based” Army that is more responsive to combatant commander's needs. It better employs joint capabilities, facilitates force packaging and rapid deployment, and fights as self-contained units in non-linear, non-contiguous operations. Evolving from a rigid, multiecheloned formation to a more flexible, centralized structure that eliminates redundancy and streamlines support by removing unnecessary layers while remaining responsive to the needs of a joint and expeditionary Army. This publication provides fundamental guidance for the employment of the theater sustainment command (TSC) and expeditionary sustainment command (ESC) to command and control Army deployment and sustainment operations conducted in support of joint and multinational operations across the spectrum of conflict. Field Manual (FM) 4-94, “Theater Sustainment Command,” establishes Army doctrine for operational-level deployment and sustainment by providing overarching doctrinal direction for Army operations conducted in support of full spectrum operations detailed in other Army manuals. This edition of FM 4-94, the first revision since 2003, describes the TSC and how it relates to the combatant command as part of the modular Army. This manual will fill an immediate need, providing commanders and their staff with the doctrinal tools to succeed. In its current form, this manual provides the intellectual underpinnings that lie at the core of how a TSC and its subordinates operate. It gives an understanding of the modular logistics structure and how to apply effective command and control. By reading this FM, commanders and their staffs will be familiar with the TSC mission, organization, roles and key tasks to perform.
This publication provides fundamental guidance for the employment of the theater sustainment command (TSC) and expeditionary sustainment command (ESC) to command and control Army deployment and sustainment operations conducted in support of joint and multinational operations across the spectrum of conflict.
Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-94 Theater Sustainment Command June 2013 Army Techniques Publications (ATP) 4-94, Theater Sustainment Command, is the revision of FM 4-94, Theater Sustainment Command. ATP 4-94 provides an overview of the theater sustainment command (TSC) and an expeditionary sustainment command (ESC)'s roles, and functions, information on strategic partners, the organization, and guidance within the context of decisive action. ATP 4-94 establishes Army doctrine for operational-level theater deployment and sustainment by providing overarching doctrinal direction for Army operations conducted in support of unified land operations. Major changes from FM 4-94 include clarifying the role of the ESC within unified land operations, primarily, that the TSC can deploy an ESC when the TSC determines that a forward command is required, or when task organized directly under the mission command of a Corps or Army forces (ARFOR). ATP 4-94 also introduces Global Combat Support System-Army materiel management levels. This is a fundamental materiel management information system change, which is being fielded to the total Army force. Introducing the materiel management level responsibilities will allow materiel management at all sustainment levels to understand changes being made to the information system infrastructure, and their roles and responsibilities.
Doctrine provides a military organization with unity of effort and a common philosophy, language, and purpose. This manual, "Theater Army Operations" (FM3-93), discusses the organization and operations of the theater army headquarters, including its role as the Army Service component command (ASCC) to the geographic combatant commander (GCC) and the relationships between the theater army headquarters and the theater enabling commands. The manual also discusses theater army responsibilities for setting the theater, Title 10 functions and responsibilities, generally referred to as the combatant commander's daily operations requirements, as well as the operational employment of the theater army's contingency command post (CCP) to directly mission command limited types of operations.
The doctrine discussed in this manual is nested with ADP 3-0, Operations, and describes the sustainment warfighting function. The endurance of Army forces is primarily a function of their sustainment and is essential to retaining and exploiting the initiative. Sustainment provides the support necessary to maintain operations until mission accomplishment. The relationship between sustainment and operation is depicted in introductory figure-1 on page vi.Sustainment must be integrated and synchronized with operations at every level to include those of our joint and multinational partners. Sustainment depends on joint and strategic links for strategic airlift, sealift, intratheater airlift, and strategic and theater-level supply support. Sustainment depends on our host nation (HN) partners to provide infrastructure and logistics support necessary to ensure both maneuver forces and followon sustainment are delivered to right place, at the right time, and in an operable condition.
The Army and joint force must adapt and prepare for large-scale combat operations in highly contested, lethality to exploit. The reduction of friendly, forward-stationedforces, significant reductions in capability and capacity across the entire joint force, and the pace of modernizationmake it imperative that we do everything possible to prepare for worst-case scenarios. We must be ready to winwith the forces we have, and having the right doctrine is a critical part
Army Techniques Publication (ATP) 4-94 describes the organization, mission, and operations of the theater sustainment command (TSC). It provides fundamental guidance for the employment of the TSC and an expeditionary sustainment command (ESC) during unified land operations. This manual describes the roles and responsibilities of the TSC and ESC during unified land operations. It describes the organization and functions of the staff to include roles, capabilities, limitations, and dependencies. The manual also provides information on strategic partners that work closely with a TSC and during all phases of an operation. This doctrine is not intended to cover garrison operations, but should serve as a guide for training and operations in garrison to prepare for unified land operations. This publication provides guidance for Army commanders, geographic combatant commanders (GCCs), joint force commanders (JFCs), and sustainers throughout the Army. This ATP serves as an authoritative reference for students and personnel who: -Develop doctrine materiel (fundamental principles and TTP) and force structure. -Develop institutional and unit training. -Develop standing operating procedures (SOP) for unit operations. -Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S., international, and, in some cases, host-nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement. (See Field Manual [FM] 27-10.) ATP 4-94 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the glossary and the text. ATP 4-94 does not introduce any new terms, rescind any terms or modify any terms. ATP 4-94 applies to the Active Army, Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated. The proponent of ATP 4-94 is the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. The preparing agency is United States Army Combined Arms Support Command (USACASCOM) and Sustainment Center of Excellence.
ADP 3-0, Operations, constitutes the Army's view of how to conduct prompt and sustained operations across multiple domains, and it sets the foundation for developing other principles, tactics, techniques, and procedures detailed in subordinate doctrine publications. It articulates the Army's operational doctrine for unified land operations. ADP 3-0 accounts for the uncertainty of operations and recognizes that a military operation is a human undertaking. Additionally, this publication is the foundation for training and Army education system curricula related to unified land operations. The principal audience for ADP 3-0 is all members of the profession of arms. Commanders and staffs of Army headquarters serving as joint task force (JTF) or multinational headquarters should also refer to applicable joint or multinational doctrine concerning the range of military operations and joint or multinational forces. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will use this publication as well.
