Then, as WIN-T begins fielding in UEx units we'll "cascade" to the
UEy the displaced JNN components.
Now is exciting, critical time for Regiment. (Chief of Signal's Comments)
The MEB does not take the place of the functional brigades nor their expertise that is applied at the broader units of employment-operational (
UEy) level and can be applied at the UEx level if the situation dictates.
A horse of a different color: the maneuver enhancement brigade
A different type of unit of employment, the
UEy, will serve at a higher level than the UEx and will conduct many of the command and control missions formerly provided by the two levels associated with a corps and an ASCC.
What DOD logisticians should know about the Army
The division, corps, and army headquarters are being condensed into two more flexible headquarters, currently called the UEx and
UEy. The UEx will have no fixed organizational structure outside of its requirements to man and equip the command posts and provide support for the commander.
The modular force
The concept envisions the MP force pooling at one of the two echelons above the UA: UEx (first level above UA) and
UEy (two levels above UA) currently being considered in the UE concept development.
Bottom-up review
Internal Audit Services conducted an Early Implementation Review of the Understanding the Early Years (
UEY) Initiative in 2006-07.
Understanding the Early Years (UEY) Initiative
For units at the UEx and
UEy level, field maintenance will be conducted by support maintenance companies.
Two-level maintenance: task force modularity, transformation of army maintenance
The Army is rapidly infusing state-of-the-art, commercial off-the-shelf information technology into brigade combat team (BCT), unit of employment x (UEx, a division equivalent), and unit of employment y (
UEy, a theater and corps equivalent) warfighting platforms, strategic reach-back sites, and signal formations.
A communications network for today's logisticians: the Army is improving its tactical communications systems so that commanders and logisticians have the on-the-move access to critical information they need on today's battlefield
In the future, four brigade headquarters are expected to have 5 E-9 positions (4 are CSM), 27 battalion headquarters X 2 E-9s = 54 (27 are CSM), 5 unit of employment-operational (
Uey) X 1 E-9 and 13 in unit of employment-tactical (UEx) X 1 E-9.
Lead the way
While these are under the Unit of Employment Y (
UEy, a blending of corps and army capabilities) for command and control, they may deploy to any theater.

My second priority is to provide Fires and Effects Cells (FECs) that replace fire support elements (FSEs) in our maneuver force at every level from the company to the
UEy as the backbone of the ground force's ability to employ joint fires and effects.
Joint fires and effects for your infantry and heavy BCTs
* Provides reach back connectivity, both inter- and intra-
UEy, through organic TACSAT assets.
Employing the signal company in a Unit of Action
These capabilities-based modules--centered upon the brigade combat team, the units of employment-tactical (UEx), and the units of employment-operational (
UEy)--are right for our Army.
Developing the right skills and tools--as a team!
The TSC will work under the new unit of employment operational headquarters (known as the
UEy), with the TSC commander serving as the senior Army logistics commander in the
UEy.
