LCU Full strength measure

Hi- Latest v, Allies, 9/July/43, scenario 9. I have 1 and 2 Mar Divs in rest/training mode at Saipan. They have been there at least 4 months since last combat. I've taken the Jima's with other troops. I need these 2 divs for Okinawa.
I Mar Div has 3504 infantry and 7710 other troops, total 11214, with an Assult value of 333.
2 Mar Div has 3892 infantry and 8933 other , total 12795 , AV 361.

I thought that each div should have 15-17K troops at full strength.

Where can I find out the values if each div. is at full strength, ready for combat? I looked in the LCU data base, but that doesn't seem to answer my question. I also looked at each div's TOE, but don't know what exactly that shows. Also, where can I find out the RATE of reinforcement? I am not using tracker, as I've never been able to make it work.

Comments, please. Thanks, Hugh Browne

You see it right under unit name, where there could be something like (90/100), indicating that unit is 90% of TOE.

Some units are even (120/100), indicating that they are set by scenario designed to be 20% overstrength. Unit cannot become overstrength during game. When that sort of unit takes casualties that push it under 100%, it can grow back only to 100%.

Sardaukar-Thanks, I see that now.

A further ?- 1 MarDiv shows 78/82 and 2 MarDiv shows 89/89. Do these mean they can never go to 100%?

Thanks, HB

No, they will go to 100%. 78/82 means that unit only have 82% of troops & equipment in inventory, unit will get more when those comes available, up to 100%. 78% of unit is fully operational, rest of things in inventory is still disabled.

78/100 would mean unit has 100% of troops & equipment, but only 78% is operational.
