Looking at the organizational plan one thing that jumps out is that maintenance and related field warrant officers should be all over the organization. That's seriously their cup of tea and areas of expertise.

Besides salvaging US equipment, I'd have them heavily involved in site surveys and recovery operations when their parent unit is in cantonment. When on the offense they could be doing T2K style SSE also looking at anything of value that could be hauled off with the unit as it passes through. Lot of civil affairs/CIMIC overtones for what they'd be doing. They'd be a natural place to find Polish or German civilian (or military deserters) serving as translators and fixers too.

I definitely like it for a PC group -- interesting way to put very valuable skills in a PC group and provides more interesting background than the usualCAG/Delta assault cell that's inexplicably embedded in 5th I'D or whatever. Nice way to work in non Army personnel, also -- good place for USAF security forces as well as mechanics and maintainers from the AF and USN.
