ATTACK BATTALION (AH-64)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. PURPOSE. This package summarizes the results of a cyclic review
for the Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) approval of the
Aviation Restructure Initiative (ARI) Attack Battalion (AH-64)
A-edition table of organization and equipment (TOE). The ARI
reorganizes all U.S. Army aviation units with the goal of reducing
the number of older aircraft from the fleet and documenting
unconstrained MARC manpower requirements in all organizations. This
draft TOE (DTOE) package includes an executive summary and narrative
discussions that outline operational function of each DTOE and
discusses personnel and major items of equipment.
a. NEW TOE: No PROJECTED E-DATE: 981001

DTOE reflect current standards of grade (SG), manpower criteria
(MARC), basis-of-issue plans (BOIPs), and doctrine.
2. MISSION/CAPABILITIES/SECTION I.
a. Provides command, control, supervision, and planning of
operations for the Attack Battalion.
b. Provides attack helicopter elements for rapid employment as
a part of the combined arms force.
c. Provides aerial escort and suppressive fires for air assault
or other tactical operations, mobile firepower to exploit the effects
of artillery and other indirect fire, or highly mobile aerial fire-
power for other tactical missions.
d. Provides unit level personnel service and logistical support
for all organic or attached units, including aviation unit mainten-
ance for all organic aircraft.

capabilities and limitations of these units.
3. ASSIGNMENT. Organic to the Division Aviation Brigade, TOE 01200A
or 01300A or Corps Aviation Brigade, TOE 01480A.
4. PERSONNEL.
a. Personnel strength for this organization is as follows:
TOE DESIGN DOCUMENTED DIFFERENCE
01386A200 N/A 133 N/A
01387A200 X 3 N/A 27 N/A
01389A200 N/A 116 N/A
b. Manpower Requirements Criteria (MARC) Deviations.
TOE PARA MOS NUMBER RATIONALE
01386A200 06 54B2O +1 Position consolidated in the
HHC to support the 3 flight
companies.
01387A200 01 67R10 -1 Position deemed non-mission
essential due to small size
of company.
01387A200 01 54B2O -1 Position deemed non-mission
essential due to small size
of company. Positions con-
solidated in the HHC.
01389A200 04 92A1O -1 Full MARC allowances are
considered excessive. MARC
does not reflect advances
in automated PLL and TAMMS
systems.
c. Detailed rationale for doctrinal personnel requirements is
in the accompanying TOE Analysis--Narrative Discussion.
d. The net officer/noncommissioned officer (NCO) force impact
of this TOE is 0 officers and +6 NCOs.
e. The risk resulting from decrements is negligible.
5. EQUIPMENT.
a. The following items of modernization equipment was approved
by HQDA for inclusion in the BTOE and have been applied: NONE.
c. Major items of equipment in the TOE are:

6. COST.
a. Cost Analysis Summary for the OTOE is provided in paragraph
7 below.
b. Force structure information for each TOE is based on current
M-Force and E-Date .
c. The difference in cost is primarily due to the application of
current unconstrained MARC, SG, BOIPs and doctrine.
