Re-structuring the BCT

[Tukhachevskii]

With some re-organization this is very like a Stryker Infantry Like in the aggregate.

SBCT In Bn
42 ICVs
4 RVs
4 120mm SP Stryker Mortar carriers in a Hvy Mortar PLT
6 more mortars (2 with each company)
9 MGS
No ADA/MANPADs/SAMs
3 Stryker ATGMs (Attached from Bde)

40-45 BMP/BTRs
3 recon vehicles
4 2S9 120mm SP Mortars
10 tanks
3 MANPADs
AT PLT

Indeed, but I'd have to say that the Sov model envisaged artillery support to be a little more "robust" than the US model. Apart from the structure of the CAB I'd have t say that's my second gripe with the stryker and HBCTs. Note that the Bn has as many arty tubes as your Bdes do. In the soviet concept the bde would have had three to four manourvere Bn, an engineer Bn and a compiosite artillery battalion with 2-3 bty (8 SPH each) and 1-2 MRL bty (each 6-8 MRL depending upon calibre, larger caliber equals small No.).
