9th Infantry Division (Motorized)

[James Langham2]

Here is an early draft of another project - the US 9th Division. Please feel free to nitpick.

I realize this will feel incredibly wrong to people used to the Queen's English, but the US Army would not have an Armoured Gun System (I'll give a pass to the discussion of an anti-armour platoon, but since the program name is a proper name, it should be Armored Gun System).


"There were significant opponents of the motorised concept however on both sides, some arguing for an increase in heavy forces as the 9th was to light to fight armour" - should be too

"The division kicked it’s heels and trained hard until January 1997" - should be its (no apostrophe)

"The FAVs were less of a success. These were the Chenowith dune buggies" - Chenowth, not Chenowith

"In 1995 with the outbreak of the Sin-Soviet War" - Sino-Soviet, although Sin-Soviet makes me chuckle

I only had time to look over a little bit.

one thing to look at was your short ranged Artillery.

how about towed old pack 75s most bases have 4 to 7 as salute guns. the hummer could tow one of them with a four or five creates of ammo.

or trailer mounted 107mm rockers
(china's supplied or traded make it up)

or trailer mounted 70mm rockets.
take pods from AH-1/64 or uh-60s they are mostly 19 round pods but groups of 7 round pods could be used. weld them to a trailer old school and put a battery to them..and step back.

I can see the 75mm being used more when the training units convert. The 9th has a full artillery compliment when it deploys so is unlikely to need extra, especially as it adds a new ammunition to the logistic chain.

I am adding a note about the pods though.

Look good so far, keep it up

Well, it's been a day when I have done lots of train travel so here is a fuller, illustrated version.

All corrected thanks.
