By October 1986 all heavy army and national guard divisions, including the 1st Cavalry Division, had transitioned to the Army of Excellence J-series TOE.[35] Thus the division's tank battalions fielded 58 M1A1 Abrams tanks, 6 M3 Bradley cavalry fighting vehicles and 6 M106A2 mortar carriers.[36] The two tank battalions of the 155th Armored Brigade were also equipped with M1A1 Abrams tanks.[37] The division's mechanized battalions fielded 54 M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, 12 M901 ITV anti-tank vehicles, 6 M3 Bradley cavalry fighting vehicles, 6 M106A2 mortar carriers.[38] The combat aviation brigade had only partially transitioned to the AH-64 Apache, with the 7th Squadron, 6th Cavalry receiving its Apaches only in September 1991.[19]
The authorized strength for an armored J-Series division was 17,027 men[39], 348 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks, 316 cavalry/infantry fighting vehicles, 72 M109 155mm self-propelled howitzers, 9 M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, 12 M110 203mm self-propelled howitzers (transferred in 1986 to field artillery brigades at corps level)[40][41], 50 to 44 attack helicopters (50 for an all AH-1S Cobra combat aviation brigade, 44 for an all AH-64 Apache combat aviation brigade), 38 to 28 utility helicopters (38 if the Assault Aviation Company was equipped with UH-1H Iroquois helicopters, 28 if the Assault Aviation Company was equipped with UH-60A Black Hawk helicopters; in the first case 2 were assigned to the aviation intermediate maintenance company as reserve), and 54 OH-58 Kiowa observation helicopters (4 assigned to divisional Aviation Office).[42] The divisional air defense artillery battalion was to be equipped with 18 MIM-72 Chaparral and 36 M247 Sergeant York (DIVAD) systems[42], but with the cancelation of the York air defense battalions retained a mix of MIM-72 Chaparral, M163 Vulcan and FIM-92 Stinger systems, until the AN/TWQ-1 Avenger could be fielded, with the 1st Cavalry Division's 4th Battalion, 5th Air Defense Artillery receiving the first systems in 1989.[29]
