what level of maintenacne is found at the forward support company
in a platoon there is 16 to 44 soldiersin a division there is 10,000 to 15,000 soldiers.if you do the math you get about 34015,000/44=340.9+++++++++++++++++++The above math may not be an accurate answer. Many of the 15,000 men in a division were in support units. For example, a typical infantry division in WW2 also included 4 artillery battalions. These were sub-divided into Batteries but they had no platoons.There were 4 platoons to a Rifle Company, with one being a weapons platoon.There were 4 Rifle Companies to an Infantry Regiment and one of these was a heavy weapons company that was not organized like the rifle companies.There were 3 Infantry Regiment to an Infantry Division.So my math would say there were about 48 platoons. Then there were other support units that were designated as platoons. These were Military Police platoons and maybe engineer and medic. I'm not sure, but I would say there were less than 100 and some of these were non-combat units.
Forward support refers to providing assistance or resources to teams or units operating in the field or in a specific location. This support can include supplies, equipment, maintenance, medical care, or other services to help them carry out their mission effectively. It is often critical for maintaining operational readiness and success in challenging environments.
Canadian Operational Support Command's motto is 'Cum Honore Sustinemus'.
