Readiness Impact of Fielding Mobile Subscriber Equipment in the Airborne Division

Abstract

The fielding of Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) as part of future Army of Excellence (AOE) designs in the Airborne Division presents significant readiness challenges in the areas of deployability, employability and mission accomplishment. The results of this study clearly point out that the current MSE TOE is not capable of satisfying the requirements of a forced entry airborne operation without modification. Possible courses of action provide two workable solutions to this structure problem. They incorporate the advantages of MSE, and satisfy the unique requirements involved in an airborne division, while staying within the personnel constraint of 486 soldiers in a division signal battalion.
