TO&E Quick Guide

[thatguy96]

I've been working on this for a while, mainly for my own personal use and convenience. However, I had posted it in numerous places because I realize it might be of interest and/or use to other people in a variety of communities. Since the bulk of my research has been around the conflict in Southeast Asia, that's the bulk of what I have. I hope to add most of what I have, regardless of era and region, but the bulk of it will still largely be related to what I have.

So far its been sort of all over the place. Information is presented in an "as available" format, and what I determine to be important heh. So if there is equipment not listed that you're curious about I can look into it, but my sources might not have the information you're looking for (I might think its important too and simply not be able to find it). It should be relatively clear, and certain entries have notes. Feel free to post suggestions or other comments.

Also, please don't tell me a TO&E is wrong. There are no doubt errors and other issues with the original sources. However, these are direct from the sources listed. If I find another source with a different version, I'll create a separate entry with that source listed or otherwise update the existing entry. Of course if you have the same source and a different interpretation (or I misread it) feel free to point that out.

Enjoy

I should have another update by tonight.

[Suhiir]

Thanks !
I'll shamelessly steal info from the USMC TO&E's for my project.

[thatguy96]

You're more than welcome, but I'm sure these are ones you've already come across. These were taken mostly from the official USMC monographs on Vietnam.

[Suhiir]

Yeah, I've gotten the same info from other sources, but verification never hurts.
