   E.  MAJOR CHANGES.


         (1)  THE NEW MARC FIGURES HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO THIS TOE AND
THE RADIOS HAVE BEEN RECONFIGURED BASED ON THE LATEST APPROVED OPFAC
RULES.

         (2)  THE BASE WAS REVIEWED TO ENSURE THERE WERE NO
MODERNIZATION ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT.


2.  MISSION/CAPABILITIES/SECTION I.

    A.  THE FIELD ARTILLERY BATTERY (TOE 06037A200) DESTROYS,
NEUTRALIZES OR SURPRESSES THE ENEMY BY CONVENTIONAL CANNON FIRE.


    B.  THE BATTERY PROVIDES THE FIST FOR THE CAVALRY TROOPS
AND THE TANK COMPANY OF THE SQUADRON, AND THE COLT FOR FIRE SUPPORT
AS DIRECTED BY THE SQUADRON COMMANDER OR HIGHER HEADQUARTERS.

    C.  SEE TOE SECTION 1 FOR A COMPLETE LIST OF CAPABILITIES AND
LIMITATIONS OF THIS ORGANIZATION.


3.  ASSIGNMENT.  THE FIELD ARTILLER BATTERY IS ORGANIC TO THE
ARMORED CAVALRY SQUADRON, TOE 17485L.

4.  PERSONNEL.


    A.  TOE             NEW             0LD      DIFFERENCE

        06037C000       142             143      - 1


THE DESIGN STRENGTH FOR THIS UNIT IS THE OBJECTIVE TOE (OTOE)
APPROVED END STRENGTH OF THE A-EDITION.  THE DECREASE IS DUE
TO THE APPLICATON OF THE MANPOWER REQUIREMENT CRITERIA.

    B.  MARC DEVIATIONS:  75B - SUPPORT COMES FROM ACR.

                          52D - THE MARC REPORTS FOR BOTH VARIATIONS
                                DO NOT SUPPORT A 52D.  IN PREVIOUS L
                                EDITITIONS THE POSITION WAS APPROVED
                                BY HQDA BASED ON THE ESSENTIAL ROLE
                                GENERATORS HAVE IN THE UNIT'S
                                MISSION AND TACTICAL DISPOSITION OF
                                THE UNIT PRECLUDES TIMELY MAINTENANCE
                                SUPPORT FROM THE SQUADRON HHT.

    C.  THE DETAILED RATIONALE FOR DOCTRINAL PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS
IS IN THE ACCOMPANYING TOE ANALYSIS-NARRATIVE DISCUSSION.

    D.  THE TOE DOCUMENTS THE MINIMUM ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL
REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCOMPLISHING THE WARTIME MISSION.  THE RISK
RESULTING FROM DECREMENTS IS THAT THERE WILL BE A CORRESPONDING
REDUCTION OF OVERALL EFFICIENCY WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY IMPACT ON
EFFECTIVENESS.  EACH COMMANDER WILL ABSORB DECREMENTS BASED ON THE
CONDITIONS EXISTING AT THE TIME.


5.  EQUIPMENT.

    A.  EQUIPMENT REFLECTED IN THIS TOE REPRESENTS THE MINIMAL
ESSENTIAL WARTIME REQUIREMENTS.

    B.  THERE ARE NO ITEMS OF MODERNIZATION EQUIPMENT IN THE BASE.

    C.  MAJOR ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT IN TOE:

6.  COST.

    A.  COST ANALYSIS SUMMARIES FOR EACH OBJECTIVE TOE ARE PROVIDED
BELOW.

    B.  FORCE STRUCTURE INFORMATION FOR TOE IS BASED ON CURRENT
M-FORCE AND E-DATE OF 2001.


    C.  HQDA APPROVED COMMODITY CONSUPTION REATES WERE USED IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THESE TOES AND ARE REFLECTED IN THE COST ANALYSIS
SUMMARIES.

    D.  THE DIFFERENCE IN COST IS PRIMARILY DUE TO THE
APPLICATION OF CURRENT MARC, STANDARDS OF GRADE AUTHORIZATIONS
(SGA), BOIP AND DOCTRINE.
