Question Need Help Creating 5th ID's AFV Maintenance Unit

I'm trying to imagine what the 5th ID's main AFV maintenance unit would have looked like at around the time of the Battle of Kalisz and I'm having a hard time making sense of the TOEs that I'm finding online. A lot of them are newer (post-Cold War) and, by 2000 in the T2K world, such a unit would be a strange, understrenght hodge-podge of vehicles and personnel anyway. I'm really not sure how such a unit would be organized and equipped so I'm just kind of making it up.

Right now, I'm imagining a couple of dozen men, a few large trucks, an M88 or some such ARV, a tank-transporter trailer truck, and a few damaged or broken down AFVs currently under repair.

I figure that such a unit would be pretty small, even for a T2K mech "division". First off, the division has a lot fewer AFVs to maintain, and second, I figure late war divisions are a lot leaner, with a large percentage of the rear-area troops transferred to line units. Is my unit too small, though?

Also, would such a unit also be in charge of refueling? Would that be a separate unit?

Anyway, any concrete info, suggestions, or ideas are welcome.
