Within the Army Battle Command System, the Battle Command and Sustainment Support System (BCS3) ,[1] formerly the Combat Service Support Control System (CSSCS) is the logistical support component.[2] It is also used by the U.S. Marine Corps. [3]

Among its capabilities are allowing commanders to specify which supply items are of importance to them, and maintaining awareness of those items in a Commander’s Tracked Item List (CTIL). During operations, the commander or logistics staff specify their CTIL from the national-level Baseline Resource Item List (BRIL). [5]
