information concerning changes in operational concept, O&O plans,
and related BOIP data. Selected analysis summary information is
listed at enclosure 1.
2. MISSION/CAPABILITIES/SECTION I.
a. To close with and destroy the enemy by means of fire and
maneuver in order to destroy or capture him, or to repel his
assault by fire, close combat, and counterattack.
b. See the TOE Section I's for a complete list of
capabilities and limitations of this organization and its
subordinate units.
3. ASSIGNMENT. Assigned to an Airborne Division or Separate
Airborne Brigade.
4. PERSONNEL.
a. Differences between design and documented OTOE
requirements where the design OTOE equals the unit strength CAP.
TOE DESIGN DOCUMENTED DIFFERENCE
07036C000 191 190 -1
07037C000 131 131 0
07038C000 87 87 0
b. MARC Deviations: There is one 92Y E3 in the S4 Sec to
coordinate and hand receipts for airdrop supply equipment.
c. Detailed rationale for doctrinal personnel requirements
are in the accompanying TOE Analysis--Narrative Discussion for
each TOE.
d. The net officer/NCO force impact of this TOE is a
increase/decrease of zero officers and increase of one NCO
due to CINCOS. There is one 63B1P and one 92Y1P added to the
base due to MARC. TOE strenth increased by (2) personnel.
e. The risk resulting from decrements is minimal.
5. EQUIPMENT. The primary equipment systems for TOE 07035C000:
a. Equipment reflected in these TOE represents the minimal
essential wartime requirements with normal modernization from the
base to the objective TOE.
b. The following items of modernization equipment were
approved by HQDA for inclusion in the BTOE and have been applied.
