WHAT AIRMECHSTRIKE would look like up-close
Note: The Air Assault and Airborne manpower TOEs for the Infantry Battalion and Rifle Companies are identical, but not their vehicle TOEs
An Airborne/Air Assault Infantry Battalion has 678 men total
The Air Assault Battalion has:
7 FMTV 5 ton trucks (1 wrecker)
The Airborne infantry battalion has:
Yet the rifle companies "own" none of these HMMWVs, so they foot-slog at 2 mph
If we leave all these vehicles where they are since they are not being used to provide the shooters mobility we can look at just the Infantry companies since BDE/BN HQs are already taken care of and don't have to walk
