For cross-country transportation and employment, the TLB will be towed by combat vehicles such as an AVLB, combat excavator, tank retriever, the battle tank (M60 or M1), and the logistics vehicle system (LVS) MK48/14. The TLB will be organic to the combat engineer battalion, Marine division, and engineer support battalion of the force service support group (FSSG).
