If ever there was a need to update the order of battle of US forces in T2K this is it.
Classic example is the 173rd Airborne - which according to Frank Frey and others (waves to Raellus) is in Kenya - yet there is no mention of it at all in the US order of battle

And if you look at the King's Ransom module you see improvised units both on the US and Iranian side (the Air Force security unit and the Iranian formations that Frank created)

and if you look at Challenge you can see that there were units overlooked for sure in the order of battle - for example the Ohio National Guard units in the M1 tank factory article - and definitely the Coast Guard units that are in Rifle River

I suspect there are lots of improvised units created from Air Force personnel, National Guard units, State Guard, etc. you name it - probably mostly foot infantry, maybe with some gun trucks or the equivalent of Somalil technical and other improvised equipment - like the bank car armored cars used by New America down in Florida
