Which unit has COSC?

Which unit has COSC?

• A. Mental Health Section, Brigade Support Medical Company
• B. Mental Health Section, Medical Company Area Support
• C. Medical Detachment Combat Operational Stress Control
• D. Medical Logistics Headquarters

Answer: (A)

Combat Operational Stress Control is the Army’s program for preventing and managing stress reactions at the unit level, handled by trained mental health personnel embedded with medical support. In field units, this function lives in the Mental Health Section of the Brigade Support Medical Company. That section houses the staff who run COSC, provide counseling and early intervention, and coordinate with leaders to identify soldiers who need help and get them into appropriate care. The other options don’t fit because COSC is not a general medical/logistics unit task nor a separate detachment; it’s a mental health capability tied to the BSMC’s mental health section, designed to keep troops ready and resilient.
