Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com FM 34-54 interest items, require active coordination among the JCMEC and the command's different assets to move the item quickly. Coordinating and tasking is the job of the echelon commander's staff for normal CEM movement. Their ability to coordinate between the logistic units that move the item and the specialist elements such as TECHINT, EOD, and NBC is the key to the reuse, intelligence exploitation, and removal of CEM. Logistic assets will evacuate CEM to the collection points, Corps CMEC (Forward), theater CMEC, or CONUS. They do this according to available assets and the priorities set by the commander and staff.
The J4/G4 is the principal staff element charged with coordinating this task. The command surgeon, responsible for medical items, coordinates disposition of Class VIII not of TECHINT value. The J4/G4 provides staff guidance to the MMC and the movement control office (MCO) or the movement control center (MCC). The MMC controls combat service support (CSS) and maintenance inventories and is the management arm that ensures proper accountability of CEM during transit. The support commands are the Division Support Command (DISCOM), COSCOM, and Theater Army Area Command (TAACOM). They exercise command and control over supporting units in carrying out the directives issued by the J4/G4.
The division medical supply officer (DMSO) or the medical, supply, optical, and maintenance (MEDSOM) are the first elements that manage the command's collection, inventory, and evacuation procedures and functions for captured medical materiel. The MMC manages the command's collection, inventory, and evacuation functions. This includes the operation of the CEM point. The MMC operations staff is organized by function and commodity, Class I through Class VII, and Class IX materiels. CEM will normally be managed by the Class VII operations staff. The MMC keeps the records of the CEM at the CEM point.
TECHINT elements, such as the Corps CMEC (Forward) or TECHINT teams, would provide support to logistical personnel operating the CEM point for identification of CEM. C-2 LOGISTIC CHAIN OF RESPONSIBILITIES AND FUNCTIONS
