Which statement is true about the Division Sustainment Support Battalion's organization?

• A. It includes an organic HHC
• B. It has more than five organic companies
• C. It cannot have attached companies
• D. It is solely field feeding

Answer: (A)

The Division Sustainment Support Battalion includes an organic Headquarters and Headquarters Company, which provides the battalion’s command and control. This HHC houses the battalion commander, executive officer, and the staff (S-1 through S-6 and other liaison and planning elements), enabling coordinated planning and execution of sustainment tasks across the division’s supply, field services, maintenance, and distribution functions. That makes sense because a battalion needs a built-in headquarters to direct operations and manage staff functions; without an organic HHC, the battalion wouldn’t have a dedicated, integrated command element to coordinate its multiple functional companies. The other statements don’t fit typical organization: a DSSB does not have more than five organic companies as a standard, attachments are common to bring in additional capabilities, and the battalion’s role isn’t limited to field feeding but includes broad sustainment support.
