The Army of Excellence and the Division Support Command

Abstract

This essay explores some of the advantages of the Army of Excellence (AOE) in a heavy division's support command (DISCOM). It covers the major changes among the 'H-series,' DIVISION '86 and AOE tables of organization and equipment. Its prime topics include: supply, maintenance, rear area operations and organizational consolidations and reductions in DISCOM units. While the essay intends to be informative and provides some positive suggestions, it concludes that AOE force development problems remain to be solved in the DISCOM.
