Is there a comprehensive list somewhere? Which ones have you observed? I'm particularly interested in which ones might be used in a Scout or Reconnaissance unit, if applicable.

The ESB doesn't have any unit level task. Now they call it E3B testing. This way you can test for the EIB/EFMB/ESB at the same time for your MOS. Most of the individual tasks are the same but then you split off into the lane that caters to your MOS. We have done it at Benning.

So you're telling me the official ESB web page is outdated... shocking. I jest, but thanks for the update.

Yes sir, I did find these resources. I'm asking about the following from that first webpage:
"METL Lane Tasks
Five (5) Additional Tasks: Mission Essential Task List (METL); Brigade Commanders or higher will identify 5 unit’s related METL TASK to incorporate in their train-up and testing." And "Brigade Commanders choose from ESB task or 5 unit specific task such as " Rig a rucksack" or "PMCS a vehicle" (Approved though Test Management Office)"

Those could be specific tasks associated with the unit's METL (they don't have to be .. the option is given to the commander). This is going to change from unit to unit. If you look at TRADOC Regulation 672-9 (para 1-4d) it tells what the unit needs to do to get them approved.
If the unit doesn't want to come up with 5 tasks, it just can use 5 of the other preapproved tasks.
