What reference is used for a MTOE?

• A. Alpha characters
• B. Numeric
• C. Roman numerals
• D. Greek letters

Answer: (A)

The reference used for a MTOE is alpha characters. In Army documentation, the Modified Table of Organization and Equipment is coded with letter designators to identify the specific version or type of MTOE in use. This alphabetic coding keeps the reference simple and scalable as revisions occur, and it avoids confusion that numbers, Roman numerals, or Greek letters might introduce in organizational coding. So you’ll see MTOE references designated by letters rather than numeric, Roman numeral, or Greek identifiers.
