I didn't cover the various Hqs and their PAX counts.
1. It looks like you are proposing a 4+1 configuration of 4 maneuver Bns + 1recon/CAV Bn/Sqdrn.
2. Prefer 3-gun versus 2-gun mortar sections. All could/maybe should be consolidated into a single Battery (like the USMC) with a couple of FDCs to enable split operations. Think the standard should be foe them to get task org'ed out. Back in the day, I was cross-attached to a mech Inf co with its own 81mms. The Company Cdr got VERY responsive fires when/where he needed them. Current Bn hvy mortar platoons can be overlooked in the "Big" Bn fight.
3. Nothing wrong with a 2 X 2 CAV troop. Was trying to get the biggest bang for the smallest buck (Ken
, Like the option of 2 scout, 1 tank and 1 mech inf with organic mortars.
4. Have an asymeteric CAV Sqdrn because sometimes all you need is to sneak-n-peek (light/wheeled) and sometimes you really need to fight for information (CFVs). Also, I consolidated all the scouts under the CAV to enable flexiblity in cross-attachment. CAV could give away one or more platoons to the maneuver bns, or troop(-) or a whole troops an get more tanks and mech inf.
5. Had comdined arms companies to foster better working relationships. Get to know the other guy, his capabilities, his limitations and his personalities. Could go make a change to put one "pure" company of mech or tanks in each Bn type.
