Graphic: US 1st Multi-Domain Task Force
A graphic of what I could find on the US Army's 1st Multidomain Task Force aligned to the Indo-Pacific. This is basically a long-range fires unit (from the PrSM, the ATACMS replacement, to LRHW which is basicallya an intermediate range ballistic missile) with its own sensor/intel/effects battalion and, in the future, an IFPC battalion for local air defense.
Note this graphic is just what I could find written publicly, it may be incomplete. For example, I think it's likely that the ADA Bn may have a Maintenance Company, but couldn't find anything written about it. I also think it's likely the ADA Bn is organized as personnel only with no equipment, because they were meant to receive Iron Dome (IDDS-A) in 2023 from two batteries at Fort Bliss but the US said it was sending those to Israel.

What of unmanned assets such as drones? I’m sure every MDTF would benefit from UAVs but I can see the 1st MDTF using unmanned aquatic drones given its Pacific focus.
A few years ago, back when the MDTF was just a 2x9 HIMARS battalion and M-SHORAD/Avenger ADA Bn, there was a Gray Eagle Company in the objective TO&E. I don't know if that's still intended in the future, because there are a limited number of Gray Eagle Companies in the army. But some elements in the MDEB have a UAS capability (although I'm not sure what system) as well as high-altitude balloon sensors.
