In hub-and-spoke distribution, a single stockpoint serves as the central node that stores, manages, and issues supplies to the units along the line. Within an echelon train, the hub is the supply platoon because it handles provisioning, stock control, and replenishment for units in the train. The transportation platoon moves goods to the spokes but does not act as the central hub; the maintenance platoon maintains equipment rather than distributing supplies; and the medical platoon provides casualty care and evacuation, not material distribution. So the supply platoon is the hub.
