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) Light Utility Aviation
Battalion (UH-1) 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.
a. NEW TOE: No PROJECTED E-DATE: N/A
b. CYCLIC REVIEW: Yes CURRENT E-DATE: 940401
c. AUTHORITY:
(1) ARSTRUC: No DATE: N/A STR CAP: N/A
(2) CSA FDU: No DATE: N/A STR CAP: N/A
(3) AR 71-32: Yes CTU DATE: 9710 STR CAP: N/A
