Interim Cavalry Regiment Analysis

Abstract

The reorganization of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR) was examined using the Janus model. The primary questions being examined were the different organizational structures and the sizing of the Mobile Gun System (MOS) Platoon. This analysis utilized two scenarios; a zone reconnaissance and a moving flank guard on Eastern European terrain. TRADOC Analysis Center (TRAC) at White Sands Missile Range hosted and assisted in the modeling on their Janus suite. The organizational structures that were analyzed included the current HMMWV based organization employed by the 2nd ACR, an updated organization equipped with Interim Armored Vehicles (IAV), and the Interim Brigade Combat Team (IBCT) organization. The alternative sizes for the MGS Platoon were three and four MGS per platoon.
