Sounds like that would be identified as the center of
gravity anyway.  I'd be throwing all kinds of assets
into that mix on the premise that anything in that
mess is valuable.

I tend to run with my arty off-board, and only 2-6
mortars on the table.  Engineers are only if needed--I
assume that otherwise they'd be kept fairly far back.

XO is in the TOC, BC and BN S3 are in tanks.  A proper
TOC requires so many assets that it's not practical to
duplicate at the BN level.

Company CO and XO are in tanks, the 1st SGT is in an
APC or a jeep.

My engineers have their own chain of command, and my
ARVs are chopped down to the company--1st SGT may or
may not ride herd on them, depending on what else he
has to do.
