>>>Well both really. Up to that point there were no females in the Belgian army. One day 300 girls "descended" upon us. I was an aide of the N4 at the time...need i say more ;)

>The S4 is the principal staff officer for coordinating the logistics integration of supply, maintenance,transportation, and services for the command. The S4 is the link between the support unit and his commander plus the rest of the staff. The S4 assists the support unit commander in maintaining logistics visibility with the commander and the rest of the staff. The S4 must also maintain close and continuous coordination with the S3. A logistics officer is located at every echelon of command from battalion through corps. At brigade and squadron levels, the S4 not only coordinates activities but also executes requirements for the commander and unit.
