This information was derived from the US Army Field Manuals listed above.
The SBCT series of FMs goes into great detail and include many user friendly
charts for some units (like the infantry battalions), but there is scant information
concerning other units (like BSB and artillery battalion). Regardless,I am
intentionally focusing on the combat systems themselves in the interest of space.
Information like how many trucks are in the mess section can be found for some
units in the manuals listed above.
