Which document prescribes the mission, organization and minimum mission-essential wartime requirements for manpower and equipment?

• A. Force Design Update (FDU) Junior
• B. Modified Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE)
• C. Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE)
• D. Basis of Issue Plan (BOIP)

Answer: (C)

The document that sets how a unit is structured and what it needs to operate in wartime is the Table of Organization and Equipment. It defines the unit’s mission, the authorized organization, and the minimum wartime manpower and equipment required to accomplish that mission. A Modified Table of Organization and Equipment adjusts that baseline for specific unit needs or current missions, but it still bases itself on the same organizational framework. The Basis of Issue Plan, by contrast, lists the quantities of individual items to issue, not the overall structure or mission. The Force Design Update is a broader design reform process, not the unit’s standard for wartime staffing and equipment. So, the correct document is the Table of Organization and Equipment.
