                        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.

for all organic or attached units, including aviation unit mainten-
ance for all organic aircraft.

                                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.
