Purpose This Annex provides a single location for generic and various mission-specific lists of deployment equipment for TNSG soldiers and units. The intent is that each OPORD issued by the 3 rd Regiment will call out by reference one or more of these lists as applicable for the specific mission. Scope This Annex contains Deployment Equipment Lists for various types of missions. All soldiers, regardless of MOS, are expected to keep on-hand and ready the items on List #1, Basic Individual Deployment Equipment. The other lists in this Annex are supplements to the Basic Individual Deployment Equipment List. Battalions assigned to the 3 rd Regiment should have an identical copy of this Annex in their SOPs. Organization This Annex is divided into the following lists of deployment equipment needed for the various types of missions envisioned for the TNSG. These lists will be adjusted as needed via TACSOP revision.
