REPLACED TOE: N/A e. Major Changes. (1) This TOE is based on the concept of providing a heavy division a direct support battalion with three firing batteries structured to conduct platoon based operations with six howitzers per battery. Although similar to the current "A" TOE's for direct support battalions, this TOE does not replace, TOE 06365A400/A500, Field Artillery Battalion, 155mm Self-Propelled (SP) (3x6 Platoon Operations), Heavy Division. (2) The new MARC figures were applied to this TOE and the radios were configured based on the FORCE XXI tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP). The necessary changes and/or additions to the OPFAC rules were submitted by the Field Artillery (FA) School and are pending approval. (3) Although this TOE is similar to the A edition TOE's for the direct support battlions of the heavy division artillery, there are several structural changes that are being tested in a series of Army Warfighting Experiments (AWE). The two major changes are: the A edition Headquarters, Headquarters Battery (06366A400 A500) and Service Battery (TOE 06369A200) were combined into a Headquarters, Headquarters and Service Battery (06366F100) and the Firing Battery (TOE 06367A200) was restructured with its own logistical capability (to include battery maintenance and food service) TOE 06367F100. Details of the changes are identified in the narrative discussion of the F series TOE's. (4) Coordination with the FA School, TRADOC Force Design Directorate (FDD) and the DA DCSOPS FA Organization Integrater (OI) determined that, with the exception of the Applique System, no modernization equipment should be documented in the base TOE.

2. MISSION/CAPABILITIES/SECTION I. a. To destroy, neutralize and suprress the enemy by cannon fires and to assist in integrating fire support into combined arms operations. b. Provides command, control, and supervision for all tactical and administrative operations of the battalion. c. See TOE Section I's for a complete list of capabilities and limitations of this organization and its subordinate units. 3. ASSIGNMENT. Organic to the Division Artillery, FORCE XXI TOE 06300F000. 4. PERSONNEL. a. This is a new TOE. The documented strength is the same as the design strength. TOE DESIGN 507 219 96 DOCUMENTED 507 219 96 0 0 0 DIFFERENCE

b. Detailed rationale for doctrinal personnel requirements is in the accompanying TOE Analysis--Narrative Discussion. d. The net force impact of the battalion is an increase of 48 officer positions and an increase of 182 NCO positions. The net force impact the headquarters battery (06366F100) is an increase of 33 oficer positions and 71 NCO positions. The net force impact of the firing battery (06367F100) - 3 per battalion - is an increase of 15 officer positions and 111 NCO positions. e. The risk resulting from decrements is minimal force impact. 5. EQUIPMENT. a. Equipment reflected in this TOE represents the minimal essential wartime requirements. b.

a. Cost Analysis Summaries for each Objective TOE are provided below. b. The Force structure information normally reported in the Executive Summary is omitted. The FORCE XXI force structure is not determined at this time and probably won't be finalized until the AWE process is completed. c. HQDA approved commodity consumption rates were used in the development of these TOEs and are reflected in the Cost Analysis Summaries. d. These are new TOE's, so no cost comparisions were made. 7.
