Is there any point attaching combat support units (excluding flak) to army and above level HQs? Many army HQs have this arrangement at the start of the GC scenario, but it doesn't seem to make any sense as support units only commit to combat for units directly under the HQ they are attached to; for the Germans most units are under corps HQs.

I asked this same question on the forum. The response wasn't real clear, but if I understood the answer it seems like the support units can be committed from the Army down to the division. But the questions I have if that is true, is does the army have to be within 5 hexes of the unit in combat, and how many leader checks would need to be made? Further, can a support unit then go from say AGS to an Army and then to a Corps and finally to a division. If so, is that three checks and do they all have to be in a certain range?
