Which item falls under the scope of the Consolidated Sustainment Activity Group-Supply (CSAG-S)?

The Consolidated Sustainment Activity Group-Supply (CSAG-S) primarily manages wholesale-level items. These are items that are not typically stocked at the retail level for direct use by customers but are instead kept in inventory for broader distribution across various units and locations. The function of CSAG-S is to ensure that sufficient stocks of these wholesale-managed items are maintained to support operational requirements without immediate reliance on retail supply.

In contrast, retail-managed items are those typically on hand at local retail supply points for direct issue to using customers. Repairable items are components or goods that can be restored to a useable condition and generally fall under repair operations rather than supply management. Consumable items are generally characterized as items that are used and consumed with no expectation of them being restored or reused. While each of these categories plays a crucial role in the overall logistics and supply chain, the CSAG-S's emphasis on wholesale-managed items reflects its focus on larger quantities and strategic inventory management for sustainability and efficiency in supply operations.
