Forward Support Battalion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Forward Support Battalion was an Army of Excellence combat service support unit designed to support a Brigade. In divisions, it was part of the Division Support Command (DISCOM).

It was composed of:

  • Headquarters & A Company, which provided command, control, and oversight for the battalion & quartermaster support to the brigade. However, the Forward Support Battalions of Armored and Mechanized Brigades would have a separate HHC and A Company.
  • B Company, which provided maintenance support to the brigade both with 3rd Shop, and Maintenance Support Teams attached to the individual battalions
  • C Company, which provided Level II medical support to the Brigade.


With the conversion to the Modular Force, the FSBs are being replaced with Brigade Support Battalions (BSBs)
