Combat Support

Combat support refers to the behind-the-scenes logistical, technical, and administrative efforts that enable military operations. This includes providing supplies such as food, fuel, and ammunition; maintaining equipment; transportation; communication services; medical aid; and intelligence. Essentially, it ensures that fighting forces have everything they need to operate effectively, sustain their efforts, and recover quickly from setbacks. Think of it as the backbone that supports and sustains active combat units, allowing them to focus on their mission with confidence that logistics and essential services are managed efficiently.
