I would expect to see the Echo Companies, either disbanded and their personnel reassigned to the rifle companies. If there was any consolidation at all, it would most likely be along the lines of a Brigade level AT Company. If there was a divisional level AT Battalion, it would spend most of its time broken up into attachments, defeating the purpose of such a consolidation.
