Initial Brigade
- O&O is “set” at Version 4.0.
- Remaining major issue is:
- Initial Field Artillery structure
- O&O states “MAV based 155mm required”
- Initial Brigade size dependent upon resolution
- Detailed scrubs of entire O&O is on-going.
Notes:
The organization of the brigade is currently being worked and adjustments are still being made. It is envisioned that the total troops in the brigade will number around 3000-3500.
