 SBCT Requirements in 2028

SBCT Desired Capability #1:

The SBCT of 2028 requires the capability to employ its formations in the operational area through movement in
combination with converged lethal and nonlethal capabilities across multiple domains, the EMS, and the information
environment to create synergistic effects that increase relative combat power and provide the overmatch necessary to
destroy or defeat enemy forces.

What Remains Unchanged

Mission
SBCTs disrupt or destroy enemy military forces, control land areas including populations and resources and are prepared to conduct
combat operations to protect U.S. national interests.
Mission Essential Task List (METL)
Conduct a Movement to Contact Conduct Area Security
Conduct an Attack Conduct Air Assault
Conduct an Area Defense Conduct Expeditionary Deployment Operations
Key Capabilities and Attributes
• The SBCT’s core lethality results from 108 nine-Soldier • SBCTs are optimized for operations against conventional,
Infantry squads, its 6 x 36 scout platoons, 3 Anti-Tank Guided irregular and hybrid forces in all types of terrain.
Missile platoons, Javelin missile assets, 3 155mm Howitzer • The SBCT is fully capable across the range of military
Batteries, and fires from the Mobile Gun System. operations without significant task organization.
• The SBCT provides an expeditionary combined arms force • SBCTs provide the Army with a strategic, rapidly deployable,
organized around Infantry and Stryker platforms for combined early entry force which is central to the Nation’s ability to
arms close combat. prevent, shape and win decisively against foreign adversaries.
• SBCTs balance combined arms capabilities with significant • The SBCT can quickly consolidate tactical achievements and
mobility, moving with significant mounted operational and rapidly act as a decisive force by destroying vital facilities,
tactical pace to decisive points in space and time, enabling seizing key terrain, and securing high speed avenues of
Infantry maneuver to fight and win the close fight. approach for further attacks by other combined/joint forces
