  1-40. Three combined arms battalions are the ABCT’s primary maneuver force. Each combined arms
  battalion conducts sustained combined arms and close combat operations as an essential part of the ABCT
  formation. The combined arms battalions of the ABCT serve as a deterrent to armed conflict; they can deploy
  worldwide in the conduct of decisive action. Combined arms battalions execute operations within their
  assigned areas of operations in support of the commander’s scheme of maneuver. The combined arms
  battalion receives an FSC for sustainment purposes (see chapter 9), normally in a direct support relationship.
  1-41. Combined arms battalions combine the efforts of their Armor companies and mechanized Infantry
  companies along with their headquarters and headquarters company to execute tactical missions as part of a
  combined arms operation. Within the ABCT, two combined arms battalions (see figure 1-12) have two Armor
  companies (each with three tank platoons and a headquarters section) and one mechanized Infantry company
  (with three mechanized Infantry platoons, a headquarters section, and a Raven UAS team); and one combined
  arms battalion has two mechanized Infantry companies (each with three mechanized Infantry platoons, a
  headquarters section, and a Raven UAS team) and one Armor company (with three tank platoons and a
  headquarters section). The headquarters and headquarters company of each combined arms battalion provides
  planning and intelligence, signal, and fire support to the battalion. Each headquarters company has a battalion
  command section, a battalion staff section, a company headquarters, battalion medical, scout, and mortar
