This monograph addresses how combined arms organizations should be
formed in our Army today. Specifically, it focuses on the question,
"what arms, if any, should be combined organically at battalion
level?" This issue is important because our AirLand Battle doctrine
considers combined arms to be essential to winning on the modern
battlefield. Therefore, we should investigate the best means by
which to maximize the potential of the organizations. The monograph
first examines the theoretical foundation for combined arms. Next,
both historical and contemporary evidence are examined to derive a
set of criteria that can be used to analyze the four selected arms:
infantry, armor, artillery, and engineer in terms of the AirLand
battlefield environment. The five selected criteria are frequency
of interaction, competence of commander to synchronize the effects
of weapon systems, scarcity of resources, cope of tactical
missions, and similarity in range and mobility. These criteria are
key factors that should be used whenever determining how an
organization should be structured organically. Conclusions
concerning the structure of a combined arms battalion are drawn
from an analysis of these dominant criteria. This monograph
concludes that infantry and armor are the only two arms that should
be combined organically at battalion level. By combining these two
arms permanently, it is almost certain that the combat potential of
the organizations will increase.
