Class VI supply support can be limited to basic health and comfort items or expanded to include food and beverages and entertainment items. Army personnel normally deploy with required minimum health and comfort items. The Army Service component commander may authorize the issue of health and comfort packs through the supply system until Army and Air Force Exchange Service support can be established. Delivery of health and comfort packs is based on headcounts provided for field feeding. Health and comfort packs provide everyday necessities when the Army and Air Force Exchange Service is not available. Table C-11 provides some planning factors for class VI, health and comfort packages. Table C-11.
