44-413L ARE BEING BUILT TO INSERT AVENGER INTO THE BASE TOE.

TOE 07318J400 WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED BY TOE 07316L000. AIR
COVERAGE WILL COME FROM AN ADA BTRY ORGANIZED AGAINST 44413L.
HOWEVER THE FIRST ADA BTRY IS NOT DUE TO ACTIVATE UNTIL THE
1993 TIMEFRAME. AT PRESENT, STINGER/AVENGER IS DOCUMENTED
IN THE ACR AS AN MTOE ACTION. USAREUR EXPRESSED THEIR
CONCERN THAT THEY HAVE FORCE STRUCTURE THAT IS NOT ACCOUNTED
FOR IN A REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT. AS AN INTERIM MEASURE ADA
HAS BUILT THREE CELLULAR TOES. THESE TOES ARE ACR CELLULAR
DETACHMENT, TOE 44530LA00; STINGER PLT CELLULAR ACR/HSB, TOE
44530LB; AND AVENGER CELLULAR PLT ACR/HSB, TOE 44530LC00.
THESE TOES WERE BOARDED AT HQS TRADOC ON 14 DEC 89 AND WILL
AUGMENT THE ACR, HSB, SEP LT BDE, AND SEP MTZD BDE. WHEN
THE NEXT FAADS SYSTEM IS FIELDED, THEN THE ADA BTRY 44-413L
WILL BE ACTIVATED. ONCE THE CELLULAR TOES HAVE BEEN APPROVED,
THEN ALL REQUIREMENTS THAT THE INFANTRY SCHOOL HAS DOCUMENTED
IN THIS BOIP MUST BE DELETED. THIS ACTION HAS BEEN DISCUSSED
WITH THE INFANTRY SCHOOL AND THEIR DESK OFFICE AT HQS TRADOC
(CAC).
