This Table of Organization is by Mr. Eric Fourcade. There is a second TO, where the rifle platoons have three squads of nine men each plus two men each as IFV crew, and where the RSTA battalion at 635 men is larger. This TO totals 3860 men.
Three BCTs are under trials at the moment. Each may end up slightly different from the other. When complete, the program envisages five BCTs, capable of arriving anywhere in the woreld in 96 hours.
