How many M978 HEMTTs are organic to A/BSB?

• A. 18
• B. 8
• C. 12
• D. 20

Answer: (A)

Organic to A/BSB means these vehicles are part of the unit’s own equipment and operate under its command for sustaining operations, rather than being borrowed from higher echelons. The M978 HEMTT is a bulk fuel distribution vehicle, used to transport and dispense fuel to keep vehicles, generators, and other equipment supplied in the field. For a Brigade Support Battalion’s company-level fuel capability, the TO&E assigns a specific number of M978s to ensure reliable fuel throughput and redundancy. Eighteen M978 HEMTTs are allocated to be kept as part of A/BSB’s organic fleet, providing enough capacity to meet typical fuel demand and allowing units to continue refueling even if some vehicles are in maintenance. The other options don’t fit the standard allocation: eight would be too few for sustained operations; twelve is generally insufficient for full throughput; twenty would be more than the organic asset baseline.
