Army supply support is a function of what?

• A. Readiness
• B. Finance
• C. Logistics
• D. Operations

Answer: (C)

Supply support is a function of logistics because logistics is responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing the sustainment of the force. Supply support focuses on provisioning troops with the necessary items—stocking, storing, issuing, and replenishing goods such as rations, fuel, parts, and medical supplies—so units can operate when and where they are needed. This directly enables ongoing operations by keeping the force equipped and supplied. Readiness is a measure of capability built by many factors, including supply, but it is not the function itself. Finance handles budgeting and money management, not provisioning. Operations describe missions and activities, while supply support is the specific logistics function that provides the resources to execute those operations.
