Chapter 1 1-22 ATP 4-90 18 June 2020 The ASC is organized to support specific types of aircraft. It also has a production control section that develops a maintenance execution plan to support mission requirements as determined by the commander. The ASC has a quality control section that provides technical oversight and safety on all associated maintenance actions, task performance, and inspections. ASB Brigade Signal Company The brigade signal company provides command, control, communication, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance signal systems networks to the supported combat aviation brigade. The brigade signal company’s support includes deploying, installing, operating, and maintaining these systems. The company contains two small command post support teams responsible for the establishment of primary CP voice and video capabilities for the brigade. It also contains multiple retransmission teams to provide extended range to brigade-level radio networks. Aviation Forward Support Companies An FSC is organic to each operational aviation battalion/squadron and consists of a headquarters platoon, distribution platoon, and ground maintenance platoon. The FSC provides enhanced aircraft logistics and ground maintenance capabilities. The FSC is also capable of establishing and operating a FARP to reduce the distance aircraft must move to rearm and refuel, allowing them to maximize flying time on station for their missions. The FSC coordinates with the ASB for additional logistics as required. The ASB executes replenishment operations for the forward support companies and the aviation maintenance companies. The FSC works closely with the brigade aviation maintenance officer and SPO section in the procurement of class IX parts and acts as the direct link to sustainment maintenance program representatives.
