       assigns three of these battalions, each with three infantry

       companies, an anti-tank company and a headquarters and

       headquarters company, to a brigade. Depending on the situation,

       the number of battalions assigned to a brigade may vary from two

       to five. The brigades rarely commit air assault battalions

       without augmentation. The Air Assault Brigade Task Force
       provides augmentation to its battalions from the brigade's own
