Penso que li algures que o Exército Norte-Americano que se tinha transformado para ter como escalão principal as Brigadas, iriam voltar a se concentrar nas unidades de escalão Divisão.
Ok, não foi no Battle Order, mas por lá tem quase tudo o que é informação relevante.
As the U.S. Army is refocusing on division-centric large scale combat operations (LSCO), it is planning on reviving the division as a proper tactical unit of action. From the late 2000s, the Brigade Combat Team had become the Army's units of action with full-spectrum combat support. At that time, divisions became primarily administrative bodies with little in the way of combat capabilities outside of the its BCTs and Aviation Brigades. Under this scheme, divisions became operational units of employment that wielded units of action (brigades) to achieve tactical outcomes. However, for the conventional wars that the U.S. Army sees itself fighting the future, larger units with capabilities aligned to conventional warfighting will be required. In a sense, divisions will themselves become units of action wielded by corps as units of employment.
The Penetration Division is the heaviest of the types, with a clear
focus on breakthrough operations (penetrating an enemy’s defensive line). Commensurate with this role, the division has a very large contingent of combat engineers and bridging equipment (for river crossings), the most capable artillery, and the heaviest mix of maneuver units.
The Maneuver includes 3 Armored Brigade Combat Teams. Each will include an HHC, 3 Combined Arms Battalions (CAB), 1 Armored Cavalry Troop, 1 Robot Combat Vehicle (RCV) Company, 1 Brigade Engineer Battalion, and 1 Brigade Support Battalion.
The Combined Arms Battalions are intended to be a 2-to-2 mix of Armor and Mechanized Infantry Companies, undoing the 2016 change that turned CABs triangular. Additionally, the Armored Cavalry Troops will likely be composed of 2 Tank Platoons and 2 Bradley-mounted Scout Platoons.
Divisional Cavalry Squadrons are also making a comeback, with the Penetration Division receiving an Armored Cavalry Squadron. This squadron will include 3 Cavalry Troops (tank-integrated) and a Surveillance Company. It is unclear what the Surveillance Company will entail, but the most logical capabilities would either be Long-Range Surveillance (LRS) similar to U.S. Marine Division Reconnaissance or a multi-domain military intelligence unit.
The Fires includes an Artillery Brigade with 3 Field Artillery Battalions equipped with M109A7 155mm self-propelled howitzers and 1 Field Artillery Battalion equipped with the M1299 Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA). The latter is a 155mm self-propelled howitzer which pushes the M109A7’s 40 km effective range (with certain precision munitions) out to at least 70 km. The Artillery Brigade will also likely be responsible for commanding any artillery (such as MLRS or HIMARS) attached from Corps levels in direct support.
The Combat Support includes an Engineer Brigade and Protection Brigade. The Engineer Brigade is the beefiest of the division types, with 3 Engineer Battalions that control a total of 7 Combat Engineer Companies and 5 Bridging Companies. These elements, in addition to the brigades’ own engineer assets, will enhance the division’s ability to breach obstacles, perform counter-mobility operations, and make mass river crossings. The Protection Brigade meanwhile, which is a part of all divisions, will be responsible for rear area security. It will include an Engineer Battalion (presumably to prepare defenses in depth), Military Police Battalion, Air Defense Artillery Battalion (equipped with the Stryker-based M-SHORAD), CBRN Defense Battalion, and its own Support Battalion. M-SHORAD units may be attached to maneuver units to provide local air defense as required.
The Sustainment includes a Division Sustainment Brigade, which will consist of a Division Sustainment Support Battalion, Support Maintenance Company, Movement Control Company, and Quartermaster Company. Every other brigade in the division also has an organic Brigade Support Battalion.
The Aviation includes an Aviation Brigade (Heavy) with an Attack Helicopter Battalion, Assault Helicopter Battalion, Attack/Reconnaissance Squadron, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Company as its flying units.
The Heavy Division will likely constitute the bulk of the U.S. Army’s armored forces. It will be less specialized in the breakthrough role than the Penetration Division (with fewer engineers and artillery units) and will retain a battalion-sized security and reconnaissance unit in each of its maneuver brigades. But, it is perhaps more flexible due to its larger complement of infantry which can help the division during defensive operations or operations in complex terrain.
The Maneuver includes 2 Armored Brigade Combat Teams and 1 Stryker Brigade Combat Team. The ABCTs are similar to those in the Penetration Division, but with an entire Armored Cavalry Squadron rather than just a troop. Unlike the Penetration Division, the Heavy Division lacks a divisional Cavalry Squadron. The SBCT meanwhile is composed of an HHC, 3 Stryker Infantry Battalions, 1 Stryker Cavalry Squadron, and 1 Brigade Support Battalion. The presence of the Strykers provides the Heavy Division with additional infantry mass carried in well-armed and moderately armored carriers. This brings benefits for operations in complex terrain (including urban environments) where dismounted bayonet strength is at a premium, and during defensive operations. But, at the same time, the Stryker platform offers greater protection and firepower than the lightly motorized IBCTs.
The Fires includes an Artillery Brigade with 2 Field Artillery Battalions equipped with M109A7 155mm self-propelled howitzers (aligned to the mobility requirements of the ABCTs) and 1 Field Artillery Battalion equipped with the truck-mounted Next Generation Howitzer (NGH) 155mm self-propelled howitzer (aligned to the SBCT).
The Combat Support includes an Engineer Battalion and Protection Brigade. The Engineer Battalion has a total of 5 Combat Engineer Companies. The Protection Brigade which will be the same as previously stated.
The Sustainment includes a Division Sustainment Brigade, which will be the same as previously stated.
The Aviation includes an Aviation Brigade (Heavy) with an Attack Helicopter Battalion, Assault Helicopter Battalion, Attack/Reconnaissance Squadron, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Company as its flying units.
