I REC/DEC(E) EAD Chemical Companies Are Not Permanently Assigned to Chemical Battalions. - Numbers and Types of Companies Allocated Based on Numbers and Types of Divisions Assigned to the Corps. - Task Organized by Chemical Brigade (METT-T). - Protect the Force & Multiply Combat Power at the Decisive Point and Time. TAACOM Allocated Units Based on Existence of the Command “Ten Good soldiers, wisely led, will beat a hundred without a head.” Euripides
