Sustainment is the warfighting function that ensures the force has what it needs to operate between actions: logistics, personnel services, and health service support. Logistics covers the movement and support of materiel—fuel, ammunition, repair parts, maintenance, transportation, and supply chains. Personnel services handle the human aspects—pay, soldier readiness, legal, morale, and family support. Health service support provides medical treatment, evacuation, preventive medicine, and overall medical care for personnel. Together, these elements keep forces operating, replenished, and medically supported. Fires is about delivering destructive or disruptive effects on targets, not providing sustainment. Movement and Maneuver focuses on positioning and maneuvering forces on the battlefield. Intelligence deals with collection, analysis, and dissemination of information for decision-making.
