The direct support MP platoon works out of the BSA and has no CSS assets with it except for one unit mechanic from the MP company headquarters. Other support, including DS maintenance, is received from the FSB on an area basis. Details appear in FM 19-1 . The military intelligence company team is typically in general support of the division. Meals and ammunition are coordinated through S4 channels to be provided in conjunction with support to the nearest maneuver element, or the company team support element must distribute them.
Fuel is a special problem.
If the MI battalion TPU is not available to the company, it should try to coordinate through S4 channels to receive fuel from the nearest maneuver element. If that is not possible, the company must rely on shuttling 5-gallon cans from the BSA to all forward sites. Details on signal CSS appear in FM 11-50. The attack helicopter battalion and division cavalry squadron have full complements of organic support assets to include supply, maintenance, and medical assets. Assets are deployed in either unit or echeloned trains.
