That the BCT commander has to wrassle is the monster BCT staff. I see many better uses for all the field grades in those staffs. Plus as we move along more and more of the divisional assets are being recreated.

the BCT staff is a massive talent sponge and it soaks up talent from the already undermanned battalions. given that we "transformed" into this beast in the current operational environment, I shudder to think what it would take to actually move such a BCT staff in a more conventional setting.
