Distribution Operations 18 June 2020 6-11 Modular Ammunition Transfer Point Section The MATP section provides ammunition support to the brigade and receives, temporarily holds, issues, inspects, and performs limited munitions maintenance to support the BCT. The section also provides limited load configuration based on operational requirements or suspension notices. The MATP section provides the BSB with a scalable ammunition transfer point and replaces the ATHP section. The MATP section has an ammunition section chief but it is divided into optimized ammunition teams consisting of a team chief, ammunition handlers and their associated equipment. There are two types of ammunition teams — the standard and the heavy lift section. The number of organic ammunition teams assigned to the MATP section is directly related to the ammunition requirements of the type of BCT supported, and can be augmented with teams from other modular ammunition units. The MATP transloads munitions to BSB transportation assets and positions battalion ammunition configurations. The MATP holds ammunition for supported units and provides this ammunition to the supported battalion FSCs. The MATP performs the following materiel management functions: Resupply. Storage (on a limited basis). Stock control. Maintenance. Asset visibility. Asset reporting. Retrograde. Fuel And Water Platoon The fuel and water platoon executes fuel and water distribution. The fuel section receives, temporarily stores, and issues bulk petroleum to the BCT. The section has no non-mobile fuel storage capability, which allows it to easily displace whenever necessary. The platoon’s water section stores and distributes bulk water to the brigade. FORWARD SUPPORT COMPANY The distribution platoon of the FSC executes LOGPAC operations and manages the distribution of supplies passing through the FSC to support its maneuver battalion. The distribution platoon performs replenishment operations and provides classes I, II, III, IV, V, and IX to its supported battalion.
