IBCT Current TO&E

Summary of IBCT Changes:

• Adds 3rd Infantry Battalion to increase maneuver capability.

• Adds Composite Fires (155T & 105T)...increases response time

and precision Fires.

• Adds BEB HHC, 2nd Engineer Company and FSC. Increases

maneuverability, sustainment and force protection.

Summary of IBCT Challenges:

• Loss of Transportation Company / Tactical Mobility

• Soldiers Load (~102lbs for Rifleman)

• Counter UAS

• Dismounted Mission Command/ D3SOE

• Training and Leader Development

358/42/3885/4285

Personnel/Capabilities removed from

IBCTs to gain 3rd IN Bn:

• Infantry Transport: -96

• Vertical PLT from Const CO: -24

• SPT SQD from Horizontal PLT: -17

• MP PLT: -42

• Distro: -20

• COLTS : -12

• Water Production: -7

• Fuel Haul: -10• BEB FSC Offsets : -9

• MICO Total Army Analysis Informed:-48

TCM-IBCTTCM-IBCT TCM-IBCTTCM-IBCTIBCT Operational & Organizational Concept 2030-40

Mission: Disrupt or destroy enemy military forces,

control land areas including populations and resources

and be prepared to conduct combat operations to

protect U.S. national interests.

No changes envisioned to Mission &

Mission Essential Task List (METL)

Changes envisioned to adapt the IBCT for

execution of the Army Functional Concept for

Mvmt & Maneuver

METLConduct a Movement to Contact

Conduct an Attack

Conduct an Area Defense

Conduct Area Security

Conduct an Airborne Assault (Airborne IBCTs only)

Conduct Air Assault

Conduct Expeditionary Deployment Operations

Cross-Domain Maneuver Focus Areas

• Tactical Mobility for IBCTs. IBCTs lack sufficient

capability, mobility and agility to move extended tactical

distances in all environmental conditions during all

phases of ULO.

• Airspace Defense. IBCTs lack the capability to monitor,

control, or deny threat attack or reconnaissance

platforms access to airspace (FW, RW, UAS, Missile).

• Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA). IBCTs lack

the ability to employ the full range of CEMA capabilities

to defeat or deny the enemy’s capability under all

conditions.

• Lethality. IBCTs maneuver elements lack adequate

organic capabilities to apply immediate, point, long

range direct fire effects to destroy armor vehicles,

hardened targets, defilade or personnel targets.

Key Changes in Formation

•GMVs added for tactical mobility

•X3 Cavalry Squadron Troops with 6 LRVs x36 Scouts.

•Adds an Air Defense capability to BCT.

•Adds CEMA EW capability into the BCT.

•Adds a third Engineer Company to the BEB.

•Adds the MPF Company into the BCT.

• Increased lethal precision fires with the addition of the

HIMARS battery.

IBCT 2030-2040 FOCUS AREAS

Tactical Mobility. IBCTs seek the capability to move extended tactical distances in all environmental conditions during all phases

of ULO.

Airspace Defense. IBCTs desires greater capability to monitor and defeat unmanned air systems (FW, RW, UAS, Missile).

Lethality. IBCTs maneuver elements desire organic capabilities at echelon to apply immediate, point, long range direct fires to fix

and destroy enemy targets while producing minimal collateral damage.

Reconnaissance and Security. The IBCTs desire greater capacity to execute combined arms reconnaissance and security

operations across the full range of military operations (ROMO),

Cooperative Engagement. The IBCT seeks the ability to integrate and digitally hand-off target information between sensors and

organic direct/indirect fire precision systems.
