Does anyone know how the US Army plans to organize their artillery batteries once they are equipped with the NLOS-C variant of the Future Combat System? The only thing I could find was that a battery was to have two platoons of 3 x NLOS-Cs each. There will be no FO/FIST teams since with all the technology available to the infantry and armoured commanders they can call in their own fire support. This leaves only 6 NLOS-C systems each with a 2-member crew and two small platoon headquarters. Plus their whole concept is to reduce logistics, so even with some ammunition vehicles and other support vehicles, how big can the battery get? The six NLOS-C systems only require a total of 12 crew members. What will the TO&E look like? What kind of rank progression will there be with only a 2-man gun crew?
