Planning Responsibilities
• CATF is usually responsible for overall logistics
8
Coordination of requirements for
ATF
Differentiation of internally sourced
reqs and externally sourced
Prioritize requests and allocate
resources
Early notification of unusual/special requirements
Provide means to establish a logistics system in the AOA
Develop EPW, evacuee and
internee plans

Planning Responsibilities
• In support of forces assigned, the CATF is responsible for:

Determination of overall logistics requirements
Determination and allocation of
means to support
Promulgate schedule and plans
for assembly at POE
Review and approve
embarkation and loading plans

to support LF
Planning Responsibilities

Overall requirements of
the LF
Determination and allocation of means
to support LF logistics
Determination of requirements to be
sourced by HHQ
Plan for assembly of supplies to be
embarked
Prepare LF embark plans

Considerations
• Due to requirement for logistics support to initially flow from sea to shore, systems must be responsive, simple, flexible, economical, attainable, sustainable and survivable
• Must consider– Embark based on anticipated support for LF CONOPS ashore– Establish a system that supports changing phases of the
operation– Impetus of support from the rear directed forward to the unit– Preserve OPSEC
11
Planning Factors
• Operation characteristics• Target date• AOA characteristics• Enemy capabilities• Size, type of LF• Means of distribution• LOC, transportation• Resupply• Phased increase in logistics
capabilities• EPWs
• Availability of logistic means• Compatibility, capability of
support sys• Comms means• Force Protection• Airfields• CBRN• Shipping availability• Health risks
12
Combat Service Support (CSS) Plans
13
CSS Plans
• Coordination for logistical support is essential due to the complications of bringing supplies from afloat units
• Planning is broken down to 2 primary time frames:– Initial Supply– Sustainment
14
Initial Supply
• Brought into the AOA as part of the AE and AFOE
• Plans include ATF provisions for embarkation, support during movement, fueling and maintenance of unique equipment and supplies of water
• Plans for LF include tactical loading, emergency supplies, efficient handling and beach support areas
15
Sustainment
• Brought in post-D-day shipping with Follow-up supplies
• A plan must be in place to provide security for these cargo/USNS-type ships as well as an orderly movement in and out of the transport areas to conduct their offloads
• Due to the volume of cargo sustainment entails there must be some form of port facility established ashore and there must be adequate manpower to operate it

DEFINED
• Temporary LF organization, composed of ATF and LF elements, that facilitates the ship-to-shore movement and provides initial combat support and combat service support (CSS) to the LF.– CLF is responsible for the LFSP Plan not the LCE.
V-42
MISSION
• Provide initial combat service & combat service support for LF Landing Plan – Facilitate the landing and movement of troops,
equipment and supplies across beaches and into landing zones, ports and airfields.
– Evacuates casualties and enemy prisoners of war (EPWs)– Assist in the beaching , retraction & salvaging of landing
craft– Facilitate the establishment of the LCE, ACE and Naval
Beach Group
LFSP Commander and C2
• Designated LFSP commander controls landing support operations within the landing area
• Initially operations are decentralized and beaches are independent and controlled by Shore Party and Beach Party Teams
• Shore and Beach Party Groups are then established and begin consolidating the teams
• Once the LFSP is established ashore they take TACON of the Groups
24
FORMATION
• Forward Echelon of LCE• Tasked organized
– Surface Assault Support Element (Shore Party)– MAGTF – Naval Beach Group Element
• Established through a formal activation order• Operates for the purpose to center Combat
Support under a single organization

HEADQUARTERS
• Overall control of landing support operations within the landing area.
• Matures from a small decentralized cell in the early stages of S-T-S movement, to a robust organization as operations expand and become more centralized.
• Initial Stages “LSFP HQ is afloat”
– Decentralized to shore party & BP teams on colored landing beaches (First Waves)
• Shore Party and Beach Party carry out the majority of the C2 functions

PASSING CONTROL
• FROM THE LFSP TO THE LCE
• LFSP is disbanded after LCE is ashore and ready to assume responsibility for operations in the BSA/LZSA
• Relief without loss in efficiency takes coordination, liaison and attention to detail
REVIEW
• What LFSP organizations go ashore with a BLT?• Shore Party Team & Beach Party Team
• What LFSP organizations go ashore with a RLT?• Shore party Group & Beach Party Group
REVIEW
• Who does a surface landed unit call to receive supplies?
• The Shore Party Team
• What is the mission of the LFSP?• To provide initial and limited combat service
support for the landing force during ship to shore movement
