A Corps Support Group, or CSG, was a brigade-sized unit in the United States Army. A CSG differs from a DISCOM in that it is a corps, not a divisional, asset. Doctrinally, a CSG serves corps units, not division units, but in practice CSGs typically have a close working relationship with a particular division especially in garrison. A CSG's subordinate units also may be parceled out to different commands in theater, thus their wartime organization will normally significantly differ from their garrison organization.
Typically, a CSG and its subordinate units will only deploy as far forward as the Division Support Area. A typical CSG will be organized with a Headquarters Company and a varying number of Corps Support Battalions (CSB's) which may or may not be from the same Fort as the headquarters. The CSG is normally responsible for reinforcing the logistics units of a Division while primarily supporting the non-divisional units such as Corps Artillery, Corps Military Police, and other higher echelon units.
The US Army has been transforming many CSG's into Sustainment Brigades while Corps Support Battalions are becoming Combat Sustainment Support Battalions (CSSBs).
Famous quotes containing the words corps, support and/or group:
“The Washington press corps thinks that Julie Nixon Eisenhower is the only member of the Nixon Administration who has any credibility—and, as one journalist put it, this is not to say that anyone believes what she is saying but simply that people believe she believes what she is saying ... it is almost as if she is the only woman in America over the age of twenty who still thinks her father is exactly what she thought he was when she was six.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“Parents everywhere, trying to bring up kids in a plugged-in, supercharged, high-tech world, need all the information and support we can give each other.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
