Which water storage system is typically used at the maneuver company level?

The Water Buffalo is a common water storage system used at the maneuver company level due to its practicality and capacity for field operations. This system holds approximately 400 gallons of potable water and is designed for easy transport and distribution, making it an excellent choice for maneuver units that require water access during operations. The portability of the Water Buffalo allows it to be used effectively in various terrains and combat situations where water logistics can be challenging.

Other options, such as the 3000-gallon tank and WSDS, offer larger capacities but are typically better suited for higher echelons or supply points rather than at the company level, where rapid deployment and mobility are critical. The SMFT, while a viable option, serves a different purpose in terms of water transport compared to the more versatile Water Buffalo, which directly supports the needs of maneuver companies in the field.
