History

Organization

Combined Arms Tactical Group

The core of the GTIA is generated from the host regiment, which is an administrative formation. This will include HQ, services, as well as a central combat group. Additional combat and combat support formations will be brought in to round-out the capabilities of the GTIA as are required by the nature of the deployment. Regiments also contain reservist units that are used to add extra personnel since active army units are routinely under-manned. The regiments contain the ability to, at minimum, generate upto 4 GTIAs. Additional GTIAs can be formed by cannibalizing the regimental staffs such as using the regimental commander to command a GTIA instead.

Example Medium GTIA

  • HQ and HQ company brought from the regiment
  • 1-3 Infantry companies from the regiment
  • Scout and weapon section from the regimental recon and weapons company or the company itself. This includes 120mm mortars and ATGM carriers.
  • 1-2 Tank squadrons from an armored regiment. Can also be armored car squadrons from a light cavalry regiment.
  • Artillery battery from an artillery regiment. These are generally 155mm howitzers mounted on either a wheeled or tracked chassis. Other supporting artillery arms could be NLOS missiles, multiple-launched rockets, or 170mm howitzers.
  • Combat engineer company from an engineer regiment.
  • Air defense detachment to include short-range air defense missiles or anti-aircraft guns.
  • Electronic warfare detachment from a divisional MI company.
  • Signals detachment from a divisional signals company.

The companies have their own logisitcs support, however overall GTIA logisitical responsibilities are handled by an attached formation from the divisional sustainment company. Additional supporting elements can be brought in to include more logistics units, additional reconnaissance troops, as well as combat aviation. The reserve unit is used to fill out manpower deficits, in addition companies not deployed from the regiment can be broken down to assist in ensuring deployed formations are as close to full-manning as possible.
