The 75th Rangers have a very small logistical tail, the 101st actually has a huge logistical tail(bigger even than a mech div), a typical US Army light infantry division has a much smaller tail.
As far as total consumption of supplies etc, i'd really have to look it up- if i could even find the info on line.

Snip,
I did not mean it at Div level, but battalion level. To make it specific, can one deploy your infantry battalions on mountains in the manner below, and ensure that all meals for troops are hot meals and not emergency ration tins?
- Platoon or in some cases section posts at separate locations from the company HQ, covering a frontage of say 1.5 km and a depth of about 1 km.
shek, please do give your inputs too.
