TOE // OOB Battalion Sized Units in North Africa and Later MTO
Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE or TO&E) is a document that prescribes the wartime mission, capabilities, organizational structure, and mission essential personnel and equipment requirements for military units
Order of battle (often abbreviated as ORBAT, OOB, O/B, or OB) is an organizational tool used by military intelligence to list and analyze enemy military units. The term is also used by historians and war gamers to list the organization and unit structure of both sides in a battle.
The collection of order-of-battle data is the responsibility of the unit commander, through the G-2/J-2 (intelligence) section. A U.S. Army military intelligence group maintains an Order of Battle Section.
The rule of thumb used by American military intelligence is that each unit should keep track of enemy subunits two echelons down: that is, a division should monitor enemy units confronting it down to battalion, a brigade should monitor enemy units down to companies, and a battalion should monitor enemy forces down to platoons. General George S. Patton was one of the first to recommend this practice.
