REGIMENTAL AVIATION SQUADRON (OH-58D/AH-64)
ARMORED CAVALRY REGIMENT (ACR)
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) Regimental Aviation Squadron
(OH-58D/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 document-
ing unconstrained 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.

these DTOE reflect current standards of grade (SG), manpower
criteria (MARC, basis-of-issue plans (BOIPs), and doctrine.
2. MISSION/CAPABILITIES/SECTION I.

operations, and limited security operations in support of ACR.

*MOS 52F added by BOIP H024AA applies to 01465A200 only.
b. Manpower Requirements Criteria (MARC) Deviations.
TOE PARA MOS NUMBER RATIONALE
01466A000 06 54B2O +2 AR 570-2 allows one NBC NCO
per troop, except the HHT, or
a total of seven. The small
size and tactical disposition
of the six flight troops does
not support a need for one
position per troop. Two
positions are documented in
the HHT (para 06) to serve
the six flight troops.
01466A000 14 77F10/20 -7 USAFMSA decision not to apply
full MARC because of question
regarding the validity of MARC
data.
01466A000 16 33R1F +1 Current AMMH data supports
1.2 positions. This data is
considered inaccurate and/or
incomplete. Two positions have
been documented historically in
all CEWI platoons and provide
the minimally essential
capability/redundancy for this
MOS. There are no other 33R
positions within the Regimental
Aviation Squadron.
01207A100 01 67T1O -1 Position deemed non-
mission essential based
on unit strength.
01207A100 01 54B2O -1 Position consolidated in
the Headquarters and
Headquarters Troop based
on unit strength.
01367A200 01 67S1O -1 Position deemed non-
mission essential based
on unit strength.
01367A200 01 54B2O -1 Position consolidated in
the Headquarters and
Headquarters Troop based
on unit strength.
01387A200 01 67Y1O -1 Position deemed non-
mission essential based
on unit strength.
01387A200 01 54B2O -1 Position consolidated in
the Headquarters and
Headquarters Troop based
on unit strength.
01469A200 02 67T3F -5 Full MARC allowances are
considered excessive due to a
probable error in the MARC
data.
01469A200 04 92A1O/2O -1 Full MARC allowances are
considered excessive. MARC
has not been updated in many
years and, therefore, does
not reflect advances in auto-
mated PLL and TAMMS systems.
c. Detailed rationale for doctrinal personnel requirements
is in the accompanying TOE Analysis--Narrative Discussion.
d. The net officer/NCO force impact of this TOE is an
increase of 0 officers and +4 NCOs.
e. The risk resulting from decrements is negligible.
5. EQUIPMENT.
a. The following items of modernization equipment are
included in the BTOE: None.
