Sustainment Planning Factors 07 December 2020 ATP 5-0.2-1 263 JP 4-0 Figure G-4. Classes and subclasses of supply G-48. Early estimation of critical classes of supply required to sustain operations is necessary for any planning effort. Maintenance of the running estimate for the sustainment section covers estimated consumption of all classes of supplies. However, with limited time available, planners focus on CL I, III, and V because shortages of these supply classes may result in culmination. Table G-12 on page 264 provides estimated bulk consumption rates of CL III, CL V, CL I, and CL I Water for brigade combat teams and their respective battalions and companies, based on historical data. This estimate serves as a starting point for planning only and will need to be updated by logistics planners for each planning effort.
