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

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

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.
