Although this division is listed as belonging to ARCENT, ARCENT did not have the authority to release the unit; this was reserved to the CINCCENT. Thus, even though VII Corps and ARCENT planning had called for this division to be part of the VII Corps attack on the Republican Guard, dithering on CINCCENT's part prevented 1st Cav from being released to VII Corps until 0930 on 26 February, too late to disengage and move into position to attack before the end of the war. 2. The two TOCs at the division headquarters are the Division Main headquarters (M577) and the Jump Main headquarters (5-ton "Expando-van').Oneofthese is always active while the other is not functional while displacing forward. 3. The M1A1 Mod is a sort of poor man's M1A1 (HA), created in theater by welding additional plates of non-depleted uranium armor to the front slopes of the turret. The M1A1 Mod was known to some as the "Ma and Pa Kettle Heavy Metal" M1A1. 4. One tank stand in each armored battalion/task force may be designated as being fitted with a mine plow. 5. There is no Chemical Recon Company per se; this unit represents the NBC reconnaissance assets supplied to each division in the theater.
