- This are the Instructions on how to extract pertinent information from an OPORDER and annexes in order to successfully complete MDMP:

Sustainment: o This paragraph is particularly critical for the S4 officer. It provides detailed instructions on logistics, including: Logistics: Information on supply points, resupply procedures, transportation plans, and maintenance support. Health Service Support: Details on medical evacuation, treatment facilities, and casualty evacuation plans. Personnel Services Support: Information on personnel replacements, mail, and other personnel services that impact soldier welfare. Annexes and Appendices: o Annex F (Sustainment): This annex contains detailed logistics information, expanding on Paragraph 4 of the OPORD. It includes specifics on supply, transportation, maintenance, health service support, and personnel services. o Other Relevant Annexes: Review other annexes that may impact logistics, such as Annex C (Operations), Annex K (Communications), and Annex Q (Medical Services). Steps to Extract Information: 1. Review the Entire OPORD: o Read through the entire OPORD to get a comprehensive understanding of the mission and overall plan. 2. Focus on Relevant Sections: o Pay special attention to Paragraphs 1 (Situation), 2 (Mission), 3 (Execution), 4 (Sustainment), and 5 (Command and Signal). 3. Detailed Study of Annex F: o Thoroughly review Annex F (Sustainment) for detailed logistical planning. 4. Collaborate with Other Staff Officers: o Work closely with other staff sections (e.g., S1, S2, S3, S6) to ensure all aspects of the logistics plan are integrated and coordinated.

(12) (U) Health Service Support. 3/4 ID provides echeloned health service support and evacuation augmented with EAB medical assets in general support-reinforcing to 3/4 ID offensive operations. The restrictive and difficult terrain, combined with a multifaceted ENY set presents many challenges to the scheme of maneuver. These challenges require ongoing movement of battalion trains and the BSA to enable 3/4 ID operational reach, maintain combat power and enable freedom of maneuver. To accomplish this, Role 1 ambulances will be forward positioned to company/troop trains, Role 2 FWD ambulances will position to BN/SQDN trains. Priority of ambulance support is 4-10 CAV, 1-68 AR, 1-38 IN. The Role 2 will utilize AXPs manned by area support squads for rapid return of FWD assets and direct support from 690th MC(GA) for Role 2 to Role 3 evacuation. Role 1 Aid Stations will operate out of BN/SQDN trains and the Role 2 will operate from AA DEMONS and echelon forward to BSA 2. The FLE/FLB will be augmented with area support squads to support Role 2 FWD/Area ambulance exchange. (a) (U) Medical Evacuation. Primary means of medical evacuation of wounded personnel will be conducted via ground. Units will maximize forward positioning of evacuation assets to reduce transport times. 3/4 ID receives 1x evacuation SQD (6x M977) from 690th MC(GA) in direct support for role 2 to Role 3 evacuation. Primary evacuation routes are MSR POTASSIUM, MSR MAGNESIUM, ASR LITHIUM and ASR CALCIUM. Subordinate units designate and report secondary routes as required to the BDE Surgeon Cell. Aerial medical evacuation assets, C/2-4 GSAB (15x HH-60), are in direct support to 4 ID with no direct allocation to 3/4 ID. Aerial medical evacuation is limited south of PL BLACK until Phase IV when the air LOA shifts to PL BLUE. Aerial MEDEVAC is coordinated through 3/4 ID Surgeon Cell to 4 ID Surgeon Cell for resource allocation and deconfliction. CDR, 4 ID retains mission authority and CDR, 4 CAB retains launch authority for all aerial evacuation requests. (b) (U) Ambulance Exchange Points. The BDE will utilize 200-299 series for labeling AXPs within the 3/4 ID AO. 300-399 series AXPs will be used to label 4 ID directed 3/4 ID rear boundary AXPs. 1. (U) AXP 200: Established IVO Crossing Point 1 at the trigger of maneuver elements passing PL BLACK, manned by 1x Area Evac squad (C/64BSB) to provide Role 2 FWD/Area evacuation exchange. AXP closes at end of Phase 2 when rear boundary shifts to PL BLACK. UNCLASSIFIED - TRAINING USE ONLY ANNEX F (SUSTAINMENT) TO OPERATION ORDER 2025-02 (IRON RAIN) (UNCLASSIFIED) 7 UNCLASSIFIED 2. (U) AXP 201: Establishes IVO FLB MERCURY during Phase 2, manned by 1x Area EVAC SQD (C/64BSB) to provide Role 2 FWD/Area evacuation exchange. Remains open through end of Phase 4. 3. (U) AXP 300: Established IVO BSA in AA Demons at start of Phase 1, manned by 1x SQD/690th MC(GA) to provide Role 2 to Role 3 exchange. AXP closes at end of Phase 2 when BDE rear boundary shifts to PL BLACK. 4. (U) AXP 301: Established at the closing of AXP 300. Replaces AXP 201 IVO, manned by 1x SQD/690th MC(GA) who relieve 1x Area EVAC SQD (C/64BSB) for onward movement to BSA 2. 5. (U) AXP 302: Established IVO Crossing Point 2 at end of Phase 2 when rear boundary shifts to PL BLACK to provide Role 2 to Role 3 exchange. This AXP is unmanned and remains open through the end of Phase 4. (c) (U) Medical Treatment. Priority of medical treatment is self/buddy aid, CLS/First Responder, EMT/68W, ATM/Role 1, ATM/Role 2, and Hospitalization/Role 3. Treatment of casualties from point of injury (POI) through Role 1 will prioritize return to duty and rapid stabilization for evacuation at the lowest possible echelon of care. Units will not by-pass roles of care without coordination between evacuating and receiving unit senior medical personnel. Role 2 patient hold is limited to 72-hour return to duty after establishment of BSA 2 in Phase 4. Prior to Phase 4, Role 2 will prioritize evacuation of all casualties to rapidly clear patients and enable required maneuver. Units will report movement and establishment location of Role 1 treatment teams (FAS/MAS) and Role 2 treatment teams to BDE Surgeon Cell. Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR)/Damage Control Surgery (DCS) is available vicinity DSA ROUGHRIDERS A until H-6 from 2x FRSD in general support. FRSDs will not forward deploy to BDE AO. 1. (U) Local Nationals. Health Service Support to local nationals is limited to saving life, limb or eyesight. Local nationals should be directed to host-nation medical facilities for all other/additional care. 2. (U) Enemy Prisoners of War/Detainees. 3/4 ID will provide health service support to EPWs/detainees IAW all treaties and conventions based on triage categories and evacuated to established holding areas within the DIV plan. The use of captured enemy medical materials, equipment and personnel to provide medical care for EPWs and detainees is required when available. 3. (U) Hospitalization. Role 3 hospitalization (148 Bed + Head & Neck) is provided by the 10th FH in general support to 3/4 ID, vicinity CSA LYNX. Theater evacuation policy is 7-day return to duty at Role 3. (d) (U) Force Health Protection. Priority of force health protection is CBRN response, disease non-battle injury (DNBI) and BPT conduct force health protection in BDE consolidation area for displaced civilians after Phase 4. Reinforcing capabilities UNCLASSIFIED - TRAINING USE ONLY ANNEX F (SUSTAINMENT) TO OPERATION ORDER 2025-02 (IRON RAIN) (UNCLASSIFIED) 8 UNCLASSIFIED (COSC, Vet, PM, Dental) are available from CSA LYNX and TIGER with coordination through BDE Surgeon's cell. BNs will plan operational decontamination for CRBN casualties with organic medical sets and CRBN evacuation routes within the BDE AO. The Role 2 will BPT establish BDE CBRN treatment site vicinity FLB MERCURY if two or more BNs receive CBRN casualties. Evacuation and Medical Treatment platforms are priority for operational decontamination at OP DECON sites 1 & 2. (e) (U) Medical Logistics. BN Role 1's and Role 2 will deploy with 72hr CL VIII and full complements of formularies. BSB SPO MEDLOG will monitor CL VIII stockages and requests with Role 2 Brigade Medical Supply Office (BMSO) and coordinate emergency CL VIII resupply through BDE Surgeon Cell. 3/4 ID receives direct support CL VIII and blood resupply through forward distribution from 418 MC (MLC)/56MMB vicinity CSA LYNX. The Role 2 will establish walking blood bank for whole blood resupply as a contingency.

- From the information in the annex F above, I need to extract the pertinent information to brief the sustainment plan to the Company.

- Please do it in a format easy to paste into a power point presentation (only have 2 slides available). Make it short, concise and only relative information to brief in 1 or 2 slides in 2 minutes.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- "We" are the 1-68 armor battalion

- I need pertinent information for day C+76.

- Provide 3rd Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, coordinating and special staff estimates to the Brigade Commander at IRON RAIN C+76.

- Do not recreate an IRON RAIN mission briefing. Brief ONLY what the company needs to know for the sustainment plan.
