        (1)  This TOE has been prepared in accordance with the
provisions of current TOE development regulations and guidance.

        (2)  All Equipment Readiness Codes in these TOE have been
reviewed to ensure strict compliance with criteria in AR 220-1,
Unit Status Reporting.  They also have been reviewed to ensure
they are aligned at the paragraph level of detail.

        (3)  The unit MARC Code is 21A.  This is a combat support
unit that operates in the division area.  It is a split based
unit that is required to move.

2.  EMPLOYMENT.
