Based upon various internal Army estimates of SBCT weight in unpublished reports and briefings, the unit basic load, and initial sustainment cargo, we used a total organic SBCT weight of 13,400 STONs consisting of a unit weight of approximately 12,800 STONs (vehicles, trailers, and other equipment) and consumable cargo of 600 STONs (a rough estimate of the maximum of the unit basic load or three days of sustainment for each class of supply).
