Combat Logistics Companies provide which capabilities?

• A. Intermediate supply support, Motor Transport, and engineer ground equipment maintenance
• B. Direct infantry assault
• C. Medical care on ship
• D. Aircraft refueling only

Answer: (A)

Combat Logistics Companies are the units that keep a Marine force supplied, mobile, and able to fix broken ground equipment in the field. They provide intermediate supply support, which means they handle essential parts, repairs, and provisioning to sustain operations between higher-level supply hubs. They also field motor transport to move personnel and materiel as the operation flows, and they perform engineer ground equipment maintenance to keep heavy and engineering vehicles and gear operational. This combination directly supports endurance and maneuver in the field.

They don’t perform direct infantry assaults, which is the job of infantry units. They aren’t the ones stationed for medical care on ships (that capability is handled by dedicated medical teams or hospital units), and they don’t specialize in aircraft refueling (that’s an aviation support function).
