I think I'm the only one that's done any work with
Brigade and above structures for DSII, so I'm curious
to see what anyone else comes up with.	Keep me posted
on MTOEs for that.

It depends on the mission.  A movement to contact
(Russians spell this 'meeting engagement') scenario
will take maybe 2/3 the time of a deliberate attack
like the Carter Island scenario.  Generally anything
more than 2-3 companies on a side qualifies for Carter
Island award.

"Of the".  In this case, that probably means "2nd
Batallion of the 66th Armored Regiment".  US generally
uses dashes instead, ie: 2-66 Armor.
