• A. A multifunctional battalion that is organic to the DSB and provides logistics support to a division.
• B. A fixed medical battalion within the CSSB
• C. A maintenance battalion under the CTCP
• D. An independent unit performing civil affairs

Answer: (A)

Division Sustainment Support Battalion is an organic, multifunctional logistics unit within the Division Support Brigade that provides end-to-end sustainment to a division. Its role is to coordinate and execute the wide range of logistics functions needed to keep the division supplied, transported, repaired, and supported in the field—everything from issuing supplies and moving them to where they’re needed, to maintenance and field services that keep equipment and personnel operating. Because it is built into the Division Support Brigade, it operates as a cohesive, division-focused sustainment element rather than as a standalone medical, maintenance, or civil affairs unit. The other options describe units with narrower or different missions (medical, maintenance under a different command post, or civil affairs), which do not align with the DSSB’s division-wide logistics focus.
