Current BCT MTOE problems?

I've been in two BCT's and have seen the MTOE be virtually ignored during deployments. The assignment slots are either too few or too many between junior enlisted vs NCO, the equipment is out dated our just an unneeded surplus for the mission at hand. These are just a few of the problems I've come across.

What are some shortfalls you've seen with your unit MTOE vs the mission(s) you actually have to accomplish?

What needs to happen for a unit's MTOE to be changed or modified?

My last unit was an HHBN and the MTOE was an absolute joke. In the headquarters section of HSC (HQ and Support Company) we were only MTOE'd seven personnel, but roughly double that number of weapon systems. We also weren't MTOE'd enough tents to complete our mission if we ever deployed to the field, not to mention that the BN S3 was MTOE'd more vehicles than personnel, but not the right type of vehicles to move their equipment.

It's a fun place to be a company XO.

I always wished that MTOEs would allot Company HQs a training room NCO, and a BN HQs a Schools guy!
