Unit FAD level.

[MegaTron]

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen

I was recently moved to the billet D TAMCN Commodity Manager for 1st Maintenance Battalion and I was wondering how would I find out what FAD level a unit is in, so I can brief my OIC on what FAD level 3/5 is due to having trucks that belong to them at the 3rd shop under priority 05. this help would be greatly appreciated.
