American Army TO&E in 2300 AD

The Army has Heavy and Light Divisions, plus two "airborne" divisions and supporting arms

• Heavy divisions have hovertanks, hover APCs, wheeled APCs, and heavy tracked tanks.
• Light divisions have warbirds, Lt.H.APCs, some hovertanks, etc.

Infantry

• Light Infantry
  • Squad - has 10 troops: a SGT ( sergeant) and commo specialist, plus two fire teams each with one LMG/SAW and three riflemen.  RPGs and/or Plasmafausts may be issued as needed ( often when the unit is under strength the SGT takes command of one of the fireteams and dispenses with the separate command group).
  • Platoon - has three squads plus HQ squad with LT, PSG, 2 commo spec, and 4 special weapons men.
  • Company- has three platoons plus aweapons platoon and HQ section ( which has 6 sniper weapons which can be issued as needed).
  • Battalion - has three line companies, a Weapons Company, and a HQ & Service Company which includes a scout/sniper platoon.
• Heavy( Mechanized) Infantry
  • Squad: Infantry organized for a heavy unit equipped with M24 APCs typically have 11 troops in the squad, 3 in the crew of the APC ( corporal commanding) and 8 left for dismount.  The SGT will act as a fireteam leader if the dismount group has to split up.  Usually one or two RPGs or Plasmafausts are carried by each squad ( light infantry will also do this when facing armor heavy foes).  Recently the M24B1 or "stretched" M24 has been introduced, and unit that are issued it have a full 10 troops in their squads dismount sections, or a total of 13 troops per squad.  This revised TO&E will be the new standard.  Older units with M17 APCs have the 13 troop squads.
  • Platoon, Company and Battalion, as light forces above ( except has vehicles).

Infantry Regiments: They can be organized "light" or "heavy", both similar but the latter with more support vehicles, and heavier ones.  The basic infantry regiment has three battalions, a support battalion, and a HQ&Service battalion.

• For light infantry most of the transport will be centralized in a supply & transport platoon in each battalion and a supply & transport company in the HQ & Service battalion.
• Heavy units will have most of their vehicles distributed, for example a hover infantry company ( equiped with M24s) will have 16 M-24s, 1 M-243 ( TOC), 1 M-322 ( Maint Veh), 1-M760 ( Cargo), and 2 M-26A Warbirds.
• A motorized infantry company would be organized similarly, but with wheeled vehicles instead of hover.

The support battalion also has an air defense battery, a combat engineer company and a scout company.  Light units also have a missile battery and a regimental hovertank company, while heavy units have a tank ( hover or tracked) battalion.

  • Armored Cavalry Recon Squadron has three troops plus an air cavalry recon flight and a HQ & Service Troop.

Divisions

Light Divisions normally have three infantry regiments ( light), one artillery regiment ( light), one light recon battalion, one hovertank battalion, one aerial artillery squadron ( gunship), one air transport squadron, one air defense battalion, one combat engineer battalion, plus HQ and service elements ( including a rear area security company and an MP company).  In combat they are usually organized into three RCTs.

Heavy Divisions are either infantry or armor.  The former normally have two infantry regiments ( hover), one armored ( hover) regiment, and often a battalion of MBTs; while the latter normally have one infantry regiment ( heavy), two armor regiments, and one light infantry battalion.  Both types of division also have one artillery regiment ( SP), an air defense battalion ( SP), an armored cavalry recon squadron, a helicopter or utility vertol support squadron, a combat engineer battalion, plus HQ and service elements ( including a rear area security company and an MP company).  In any case, the division is combat organized into three ( heavy) RCTs in the infantry division or into three "Heavy Combat Groups" in the armored division.

Walkers

Combat walkers are just entering regular army service, although the USMC have had them for several years.  In USMC service they usually take part in short duration combat missions, then return to as ASF ship.  Since the army is geared towards continuous combat operations, their issue operational units was delayed for testing how much maintenance support they would need under these conditions.  Eventually the army designed a whole new walker, the M-214.

Current Combat Walker/Armored Infantry TO&E is:

• CW/AI Company - has 3 platoons, each 8 troops & 8 walkers, plus a service plt and a HQ, for a total of 75 troops: 5 officers, 1 warrant officer and 69 enlisted.
• CW/AI Battalion - has 4 companies, a combat support company, a service company, and a HQ company.  There are 120 walkers in the battalion, 28 in each line company and 8 in HQ.  The combat support company has anti-artillery/ anti-aircraft MBPGs ( Multi Barrel Plasma Guns) and lasers, plus railguns.  HQ company has a scout/sniper platoon, a security platoon, a commo platoon and a HQ platoon.
