  Figure 1-1. Notional MEB task organization
  Table 1-1. Levels of threat
  Threat Level Examples
  Level I Squad size unit of enemy forces, agents, saboteurs, sympathizers, terrorists,
  civil disturbances, criminals
  Level II Small tactical units, enemy special operations teams, long-range
  reconnaissance units, mounted or dismounted combat reconnaissance teams,
  partially attrited small combat units, and irregular forces; may include significant
  stand-off weapons threats
  Level III Large tactical force operations, including airborne, heliborne, amphibious,
  infiltration, and major air operations
  1-5. The number and type of organizations placed under a MEB depend on the mission, threat, and number
  and type of battalions or companies that require command and control. Peacetime task organization may vary
  due to stationing and the type of units that are collocated under the MEB for command and control. The MEB
  is optimized to provide staff planning for and command and control of the units conducting support area
  operations.
  Note. Force structure changes will remove the BSB from all MEBs by fiscal year (FY) 21. The
  headquarters and headquarters company will be converted to an HSC. The current implementation
  plan converts all Army National Guard MEBs in FY 21 and United States Army Reserve MEBs
  in FY 24-25. This change will have an impact on MEB capabilities and dependencies and create
  changes in the sustainment operational concept of support for the MEB. The MEB will become
  more dependent on supporting sustainment and medical brigades. The coordination and execution
  of sustainment support, previously performed by the BSB support operations (SPO) officer, are
  retained in the HSC in the SPO section while the brigade logistics staff officer (S-4) is the primary
  planner of sustainment.
