I've just about finished fleshing things out and did a quick calculation on the fuel requirements - it's scary! With every vehicle capable of carrying a medium still, or a trailer with one on it (about 80 stills) it will take a full month just to top off the fuel tanks!
One full load of ethanol in each vehicle gives just 3 hours of activity for the division. Naturally the tanks and other heavier vehicles are unlikely to move much after taking up position, but even so, it's likely to take a day or two to get everyone settled. That's something like 200,000 litres of ethanol needed just to land and take the initial objectives! 2nd MARDIV HQ Battalion, 100 men, 2x M-1042A2, 2x M-1044A1, 3x M-35A3 2nd Intelligence Battalion 40 men, 1x FQM-151 Pointer UAV, 4x M-1042A2, 2x M-1044A1 Headquarters Company (HQ Coy) Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence Company (CI/HUMINT Coy) Production & Analysis Company (P&A Coy) Counterintelligence Support Company (CIS Coy) 8th Communication Battalion 60 men, 5x M-1042A2 2nd Tank Battalion 100 men, 8x M1, 3x FV-101 Scorpion-90 (Diesel) 2nd Light Armoured Recon Battalion 104 men total H&S Company (Striker), 2x LAV-LOG, 16 men Alpha Company (Apache) 8x LAV-25A1, 24 men Bravo Company (Black Knights) 7x LAV-25A1, 21 men Charlie Company (Gunfighters) 7x LAV-25A1, 21 men Delta Company, 2x LAV-600 (105mm gun), 2x M-17 LAV-AT, 3x LAV-MA1 mortar carrier, 1x LAV-AD II, 27 men 2nd Recon Battalion 158 men H&S Company 18, 1x M-1042A2, 1x M-35A3 Alpha Company 40 Bravo Company 40 Charlie Company 40 Force Reconnaissance Company, 20 men, 2x LKW Wolf IFAV, 2x M-1044A1 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion 200 men Headquarters & Service Company, M-1042A2, 40 men Engineer Support Company 40, 2 M-35A3 Alpha Company 40, 1x M-35A3 Bravo Company 40, 1x M-35A3 Route Clearance Company 40, 1x M-939 5 tonne truck, 1x M-58A3 MICLIC (Mine-Clearing Line Charge) trailer 2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion (218 men, 40 AAVP-7A1, 2 AAVC-7A1, 2 AAVR-7A1) Headquarters & Services Company 4+20 men, 2 AAVP-7A1 Alpha Company (2+16+7+13+12+1+28+3x(1+38)=196 HQ sec 2+14, 2xAAVC-7A1 Comms sec 7 (rides with HQ sec) Assault amphibian general support section 13 men, 1 AAVP-7A1 Command and control section 12 men, 1 AAVP-7A1 Maintenance section 1+28 men, 2 AAVR-7A1 ARV Assault amphibian vehicle platoons x3 1+38 men, 12 AAVP-7A1 2nd Low Altitude Air Defence Battalion 42 men Battalion Headquarters 2+4+1=7 HQ section 2+1, 1x M-1042A2 Logistics section 1+3+1, 1x M1097 + trailer 1st Battery 34 men Battery HQ 1+3, 1 M-1044A1 1 Platoon – Avenger 10 Section HQ 2 men, 1 Avenger Team 1 2 men, 1 Avenger Team 2 2 men, 1 Avenger Team 3 2 men, 1 Avenger Team 4 2 men, 1 Avenger 2 Platoon – guns 20 Section HQ 3 men, M1097, twin M61 Vulcan, mounted Team 6 4 men, M1097, M167 VADS, towed Team 7 3 men, M1097, 20mm FK 20-2, mounted Team 8 4 men, M1097, M167 VADS, towed Team 9 4 men, M1097, 23mm ZUR-23-2S Jod, towed Team 10 2 men, M1097, twin M61 Vulcan, mounted 2nd Marine Regiment (740 men) HQ Coy 2nd Marines 66 men, 3x M-1042A2, 1x M-35A3 1/2nd Battalion 24 Officers + 313 Enlisted =337 men H&S Company (aka BHQ) (6+31), 1x M-1042A2 HQ Plt (4+6) Comms Plt (5) Service Plt (1+9), 2x M-939 5 tonne truck, 2x M-332 ammo trailers Scout Plt (8) Medical Plt (1+3) Alpha Company 6+94 men CHQ 2+4 men, 1 M-1044A1 + trailer 1 Plt 1+25 men 2 Plt 1+25 men 3 Plt 1+25 men Weapons Plt (1x 81mm Mortar, 1x .50 cal M2HB, 1x SMAW or Dragon) 1+15 men, 1 M-1044A1 + trailer Bravo Company CHQ 2+4 men, 1 M-1044A1 + trailer 4 Plt 1+25 men 5 Plt 1+25 men 6 Plt 1+25 men Weapons Plt (1x 81mm Mortar, 1x .50 cal M2HB, 1x SMAW or Dragon) 1+15 men, 1 M-1044A1 + trailer Charlie Company CHQ 2+4 men, 1 M-1044A1 + trailer 7 Plt 1+25 men 8 Plt 1+25 men 9 Plt 1+25 men Weapons Plt (1x 81mm Mortar, 1x .50 cal M2HB, 1x SMAW or Dragon) 1+15 men, 1 M-1044A1 + trailer 2/2nd Battalion Headquarters & Services Company Easy Company Fox Company Golf Company Weapons Company 3/2nd Battalion -

The next stage of this project is to flesh out the details of the initial landing, movement to their presumed objectives, digging in and holding, and then withdrawing westwards to rejoin the XI Corps.
Anyone got any elements/ideas they'd like included? Can't promise anything, but if it fits, I'll see what I can do. At this stage my notes consist of what's in the books, and my idea of the main landing being in the vicinity of Stegna with perhaps one regiment landing directly on Sobieszewo Island (west of the main Vistula mouth). Primary objectives of Village & bridges at Rybina, Vistula river crossing at Dworek, Town & bridges at Nowy Dwor and Bridge at Jazowa. Secondary objectives being the bridge over Leniwka at west end of Sobieszewo Island, ferry crossing at across the Vistula from Sobieszewo island and the lock at the south eastern end of the island. Approximately one battalion of infantry would be responsible for securing and patrolling from each of the bridges (except Rybina where the 2nd Marine HQ and support units would be located) and the lock. Once those crossings where secure, the recon units, engineers, and possibly tanks could take Elblag, potentially with the assistance of the newly arrived 8th ID. One artillery battery of 1/10th Battalion would be dedicated to support each infantry regiment, with the SPA of 5/10th Battalion assigned to support the attack on Elblag/or as required. 2nd Low Altitude Air Defence Battalion would be split up amongst the units to provide a small measure of AA defence beyond that integral to the supported units (tank commanders machineguns for example). The Marines would be transported to the landing area by the USS Tarawa plus a collection of roughly half a dozen other ships scrounged from Nato sources - most would be civilian in origin, probably ex ro-ro ferries. Air assets consist of one Osprey (as per the plate in the 2.2 Naval & Aviation book) and perhaps a very limited number of other rotary aircraft severely restricted by a critical shortage of fuel (enough for maybe 20 hours flight time between them TOTAL!). Air cushion vehicles would not be involved because of their rapacious appetite for fuel - any which had survived this long into the war would have been left back in Germany. Anyway, that's where I'm at so far.

The rifle companies are organized in three rifle platoons and a weapons platoon with 6 M60E3 machine guns, 6 83mm Mk153 SMAW and 3 60mm M224 mortars. In 1988/89 three infantry battalions were placed in cadre (3/4, 2/1, 2/6) and a fourth rifle company was added to the structure of the eight infantry battalions assigned to the MEU(SOC) rotation. There were plans to have a Reserve rifle company affiliate to fill out the four company battalion structure for the 16 remaining active duty infantry battalions. Note 2: Battalions, companies and squadrons rotate for 6-month periods to MEU(SOC) deployments and to Okinawa, under the Unit Deployment Program (UDP). Note 3: The Tank Battalions were the controlling headquarters for the TOW vehicles, but the ATGMs would have generally been farmed out to other commands and not used en masse. The Tank Battalion had 3 “platoons” of TOWs, each with 24 launchers. Note 4: The peacetime organization and garrrison distribution of the Marine Corps units does not reflect the wartime organization. Marine formations deploy as integrated Marine Air-Ground Task Forces (MAGTFs) of various sizes: Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) commanded by a colonel, Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) commanded by a brigadier or major general, and Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) commanded by a lieutenant general. Each has a Command Element (CE), a Ground Combat Element (GCE), an Aviation Combat Element (ACE), and Combat Service Support Element (CSSE, not shown). Note 5: A Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) is the smallest of the three Marine air/ground task forces. MEUs are made up of about 1,900 Marines and are transported on three to five amphibious ships. They have weapons, helicopters, and AV-8B attack jets, but no fighter aircraft. In contrast to the larger task forces, MEUs are deployed routinely in peacetime. Two MEUs are always forward deployed: one in the Mediterranean and one in the Western Pacific or Indian Ocean. These units form, train, deploy, and then disband to ensure rotations of people and equipment about every six months. Note 6: The Marine Expeditionary Brigade (MEB) is a MAGTF built around a reinforced infantry regiment and an aircraft group composed by both fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Notionally, there were nine MEBs in the active force structure, although only six MEB headquarters were permanently staffed in peacetime. During a war in Europe, the Marines would send a brigade to Norway and thirty days of supplies and the equipment for one MEB are located in central Norway. The MEB deploys with 30 days of accompanying supplies and is capable of conducting combat operations of limited scope. The Amphibious MEB embarks aboard Naval ships to destinations throughout the world, where it can make an amphibous assault, take a beachhead and open a lane to project offensive combat power ashore. An Amphibious MEB would deploy aboard Naval vessels with more than 4,000 Marines. About 20 amphibious ships would be required to transport a brigade. An Maritime Prepositioning Force MEB can be much larger, and project offensive combat power throughout its theater of operation. An MPF MEB would deploy to a theater where it would offload the required equipment from an MPF ship. Because this is a land-based force, it can be much larger than an amphibious MEB, bringing more than 16,000 Marines and Sailors to the theater of operation quickly. One MEB per MEF is required to be ready for embarkation within four days of notification. Note 7: A Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) consists of about 50,000 Marines. It also has a substantial number of weapons including tanks, light armored vehicles, howitzers, helicopters, and fighter and attack aircraft. About 55 amphibious ships would be required to transport a MEF. The size and composition of a deployed MEF can vary greatly depending on the requirements of the mission. It can deploy with not only its own units but also units from the other standing MEFs, the Marine Corps Reserve, or the other Services and the Special Operations Command. A MEF typically deploys by echelon with 60 days of sustainment. The MEF is required to be ready for embarkation within ten days of notification. Note 8: Marine Corps and Navy planners divide MEFs and MEBs into three parts or echelons. The assault echelon (AE) comprises the troops and equipment that would be needed to sustain the task force for an amphibious landing and the first 15 days of combat. It consists of about two-thirds of all troops in the task force and about half of all vehicles, but only one-quarter of needed cargo. The assault follow-on echelon (AFOE) and the fly-in echelon (FIE) carry enough supplies to support the task force for an additional 15 to 45 days, after which the landing force would require further reinforcement. Note 9: The most likely role of the Marine Corps Reserve upon mobilization will be to augment or reinforce an active duty MEF. "Augmentation" refers to filling the unmanned structure of a MEF while "reinforcement" adds additional capabiltties to a MEF. The remainder of 4th Marine Division and 4th Marine Air Wing could be mobilized to field a Marine Expeditionary Brigade to reinforce a MEF or to provide a nucleus to reconstitute a division and airwing. If augmentation or reinforcement is not ordered, the Reserves could be used to field a division and a wing with reduced capability. Note 10: Each active-duty Marine Division previously had five artillery battalions: three direct support with M198s, one General Support with M198s and one mixed mechanized artillery battalion. In 1987-1989, however, the M198 General Support battalions were transferred to the Reserves. Note 11: Marine Fixed Wing Aircraft Holdings (some deliveries ongoing): 120 F-18A, 20 F-18B, 36 F-18C, 10 F-18D, 134 AV-8B (plus 5 in storage), 7 TAV-8B, 21 RF-4B, 98 A-4M, 15 OA-4M, 9 TA-4F, 54 A-6E, 4 EA-6A, 18 EA-6B, 36 OV-10/A/D, 13 F-21, 42 KC-130 (Flight International reports 50+ F-4S, 25+ RF-4B, 20+ A-4E/F, 130+ A-4M/OA-4M, 20+ TA-4F, 75+ A-6E, 6 EA-6A, 12 EA-6B, 64+ OV-10A/D) Note 12: Marine Rotary Wing Aircraft Holdings (some deliveries ongoing): 84 AH-1J/T/W, 80 UH-1N, 206 CH-46E, 94 CH-53A/D, 76 CH-53E (Flight International reports 165+ AH-1J/T/W (deliveries ongoing), 50+ CH-53A, 85 CH-53D, 98 CH-53E (deliveries ongoing), 300+ CH-46E (may also include CH-46F, other models), 92+ UH-1N, 40+ UH-1E) Note 13: Marine Equipment Holdings: 716 M60A1, 416 LAV-25, 96 LAV-AT, ~190 other LAV variants, 1,323 AAVP-7A1 (may include command and recovery variants), 54 AAVP-7R recovery vehicles, 143 M109A3, 108 M110A2, 335 155mm M101A1, 468 155mm M198, 438 81mm mortars, 1,117 TOW (generally HMMWV mounted), 1,700 Dragon, 1,929 SMAW, Redeye, Stinger, IHAWK

Some notes on the USMC from the NATO1989 OOB just a suggestion
I made the post and then thought other might take it the wrong way, so first off I was just placing data so the great work accomplished by others could use this as a frame to update their work,
Second others could come up with reasons or concepts of what happened to all of the men and women of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (the ACE of the IIMEF). Just me I would surmised that a lot of the ground crews became the fillers for the 6th REGT when it came out of Norway (IIRC) and the 8th REGT. You have to hand it to Leg for creating the 2MARDIV OOB, he did an pretty good job. I would say that certain units would not be 'dsibanded', but reduced. certainly Isuspect that the 2/4 Marine would still be around in some fashion still serving with the 8th REGT. I was really posting this to assist with OOB refinement. (We are about to start a game and I researching a character....) Last edited by robert.munsey; 03-18-2018 at 08:23 PM.

You can also use this same method for troops leaving Poland for Germany during Omega. Szczecin is NATO in hands in 2000 so it could serve as evacuation assembly area.

However lets say that it was something not so drastic, something simple as improper trained crew and the RO-RO rolls over during the final landing stages, as they off loaded the RO-RO improperly (it happens) and it rolled over in the bay with the Marines and Germans looking at it thinking; "Okay, No what, that was our meal and fuel ticket. Now what?" Hence the start of the USMC version of the 'Good Luck you are on your own adventure.....
