Who is responsible for securing the maps for a unit?

The responsibility for securing maps for a unit typically falls to the intelligence sections, specifically the G2/S2. These sections are tasked with gathering, analyzing, and distributing intelligence materials, which include operational maps and other crucial geographic information necessary for planning and executing missions. The G2/S2 is integral in ensuring that commanders and units have access to accurate and timely mapping resources that support situational awareness and decision-making on the battlefield.

The other roles, while vital in their respective areas, do not specifically handle the procurement of maps. The logistics officer focuses primarily on supply chain management, including transportation and supply of materials, rather than intelligence products. The commanding officer oversees the entire unit's operations and may coordinate with the G2/S2 but does not directly manage map procurement. The training officer is responsible for the unit’s training and development programs rather than intelligence and operational support materials like maps.
