NMCB Officer PQS

102.4 Discuss the differences between a unit providing general support to another unit and one providing direct support to another unit.

Direct support (DS) is were a parent command provides support to another unit, were as general support (GS) provides support to their own parent commander’s force as a whole.

For DS, communications are established between units but not necessary with GS units.

For DS, the supported unit is relieved of the admin and logistic burdens not the case for GS.

For DS, the parent command must provide consistent support by established plans, in a GS, the commander retains control of organic assets and attached elements and uses them to benefit the parent command as a whole.
