It makes me wonder. There is nothing in the lineage of either bde that shows that actually happening though. I wonder if there wasnt a plan to reflag the Berlin Bde because the bde had no combat history something similar to the School Bde/6th ADA Bde being reflagged to 30th ADA Bde and it didnt happen because the cold war ended. maybe it would have happened if the bde had transformed to AOE configuration?

Chico, please I hope you do! I have the researcher at the Ridgeway Library looking for a 1989-90 version. I’m also looking for an updated, again for 1989-90, force allocation chart.

@shrike6

Not sure, I could understand one additional. The expectation that the Blackhorse might not be in the best of shape after the initial Soviet thrust thru Fulda. As for two, no idea.

Also interesting is the 199th uses the infantry Bde symbol and not mech Bde. Another is Indiana was scheduled to get an SF aviation battalion.

Didn’t the Berlin Bde have three Inf Bns scaled as Air Assault J-Series Inf but each with a Coys worth of M-113s? IIRC the Tank Coy jumped from 14 to 22 around 1989.

[3catcircus]

So,

Has anyone ever done a comparison of the 1989 NATO and PACT forces to their in-game assignments and how does it compare to this info at the army's historical website archive?

[chico20854]

Chico, please I hope you do! I have the researcher at the Ridgeway Library looking for a 1989-90 version. I’m also looking for an updated, again for 1989-90, force allocation chart.

Ok, I found it in the deep archives... the crawl space. The full poster (effective date: October 1990) is about 3 feet wide and 2 feet long, so I had to piece it together from multiple scans on my dinky home printer/scanner. It's here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M3i1xCYLJkQrGdKdaDtr11AlfggaFG4Z/view?usp=sharing) and while it isn't pretty it is complete.
When I get back to the office and a full-sheet scanner I'll get a nicer version done, including the notes on the back.

Enjoy!

[Louied]

Thanks Chico! Keep it coming! Does that chart also have the Brigades on the back ?

I recently bought this book and it is excellent ....

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093BDMY3X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The author served in 3 ACR, I was told by him that the 3 ACR's POMCUS stock was in Kaiserslautern at least until 1984, which jives with the Force Allocation chart showing 3 ACR being CAPSTONED to V Corps.

I also found this, one page paper, unknown date, regarding POMCUS. I am figuring late 1980's.....Chico, Shrike your thoughts ?

[Olefin]

Love seeing posts like this Chico as one of the big problems for writing is to get the Orbats right if you are trying to go back in time and get a realistic unit set up - i.e. versus just picking designations and such out of thin air

[Louied]

Thanks everyone, it took hours to go through.......

Quick question, if you notice in FY92 the activate a Mech Bn in Louisiana. If you look at 156th Infantry's lineage, a separate 4th Bn existed from 1991-93. Does anyone have any idea who it was assigned too?

[shrike6]

To hazard a guess, 50th Armored Division. Maybe 36th Brigade since it only had 2 armor battalions. I base that off a GAO report that Louisiana lost a battalion of the 50th AD in 1993.

https://www.gao.gov/assets/nsiad-93-145.pdf page 24

[Louied]

Great spot @Shrike6! I just looked it up and NJ lost two Mech Bns Sept 1 1991
So this must have been to replace at least one.

[shrike6]

Great spot @Shrike6! I just looked it up and NJ lost two Mech Bns Sept 1 1991

It also lost 2 armored Battalions of the 102nd as well in 1991. Guessing it lost a whole NJ brigade at that time. The 36th was missing a mech infantry btn on its formation. Given the location of the btn makes more sense that it was filling that spot imo.

[shrike6]

Yep 1st and 2nd Brigade consolidated in 1991. https://njmilitiamuseum.org/unit-lineages/50-infantry So 50 th Armored division would have 2 Bdes at the time looked like this:

50th AD in 1991

1st Bde

2-103rd Armor
3-103rd Armor
2-113th infantry
1-114th Infantry

36th Bde
7-112th Armor
8-112th Armor

????
4-156th Infantry

[Louied]

I came up with the same thing.......I wonder if the Mech Bn in LA was programmed pre-Quicksilver reductions. I have anecdotal evidence that the NJ element was only at 75% manning. I would love to see the plans for the NE Divs if the Wall didn't come down (42 ID was having trouble recruiting the 3rd Bde to replace 27IB)

I think thats a good guess. It would have been under a pre AOE TOE. Under those TOEs an Armored Division would have had 10 btns and 50AD only had 9 pre 91.

[Louied]

@shrike6

It looks like 50AD converted to J Series TO&E in 1987 from that 1990 realignment PDF I posted. So by 1991 it was the only Heavy Div that wasn’t converted to L Series. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a plan to either merge the NJ element with 42 ID and the TX/LA part the base for another Div….

[Ursus Maior]

Does anyone here have both the J and L TOE at hand or could send/link me a copy?

Thanks for that. I totally forgot about that directory.

[pmulcahy11b]

I've said this in other threads, but 2ID in Korea in the 1980s and early 90s had a strange organization for their three infantry brigades. 1st and 2nd Brigade were standard mechanized infantry brigades. But 3rd Brigade was weird -- one light infantry battalion, one Air Assault battalion, and one Airborne battalion.

3rd Brigade was an experimental organization, however, and last I heard, it was a Stryker Brigade.

[Adm.Lee]

I wondered if that 3rd brigade was meant to be helicoptered as needed as a quick reserve, or possibly airliftable as a strategic reserve for the Pacific theater, or simply easily airliftable from Ft. Lewis to the ROK?

ISTR the 7th and 25th divisions were restructured as Light, in hopes of being able to airlift them to ROK (or somewhere else) in a hurry. Some of 7th ID's battalions did just that in Panama, 1989.

[Louied]

IIRC, someone here or on another forum stated the standard Inf Bde Bns manned posts along the DMZ...
Was this the case?

Hi,

Need some help, I just stumbled across this. Lists all major equipment the Army intended to field to Europe, SWA, and the Pacific:



https://emu.usahec.org/alma/multimedia/639653/20184784MNBT989110551F025441I001.pdf

I'm just trying to reconcile the MBT numbers, Pacific i have the two tank Bns of 2 ID in Korea and it looks like they are counting the Tank Bn at Ft. Lewis also. There are at least two pages marked "Corrected" so I am going off those numbers.

[shrike6]

So your talking the 92 numbers? I'm not seeing any corrected pages for PACOM. I'm not sure Either 2-77/1-33 Armor was going to be part of the 2nd ID in 92 or there were plans to add a third armored battalion in 1992. Could also be a typo. Seems odd to add back in a battalion of M60s after replacing them with M1s two years before.

[shrike6]

Here a proposal from 1984 to redesignate Training Base battalions to Combat Arm designations. Obviously this was not actually used as some of the designations were used for active units. Still interesting.

[shrike6]

This might be a little easier to read.

[Louied]

Nice Shrike6!

I found the answer to that one from a tanker who was in 2ID in the mid-80's. At the time, 1987, a Washington ARNG AR Bn (the independent one, WA ARNG had two, the other was assigned to 81 MXB) was CAPSTONED to 2 ID. The M60A3's in 1992 were to be held in ROK for them. Of course this changed when 81 MXB became the 9 ID RO in 1988 and that AR Bn was taken under command.

[Louied]

Chico,

I only have the list of JTPs and the short title of what they were, basically what I typed.......no detail. They seem to be divided between UK/NATO centric (BAOR/AFNORTH/AFSOUTH) reinforcement, ROW contingencies (reinforcing Cyprus/Falklands/Gibraltar/Hong Kong)and evacuations (they did list one for Afghanistan!), and US/UK specific (basically basing and LOC for US Forces).

So far at Kew I have only found one complete, detailed plan.....UKMF to BALTAP on TTW. It was over 300 pages and had Ports of Embarkation, travel times, radio frequencies, rations, etc......

I know that the MOD does big file dumps at the end of each year and they are still in possession of a lot of files, so maybe a FOI request?

[shrike6]

At the time, the 3rd Bd 2ID was at the Camp South of us (can't remember the name, but shouldn't be difficult to find out). I'm sorry, I can't tell you what their job was during wartime.

[pmulcahy11b]

A CSM (one of our ROTC instructors who had spent a lot of time in SF, including a positing to the SFDB) told me that the SFDB's job in wartime was to leave about a platoon inside of West Berlin, and the rest were to exfiltrate through the wall (at points only they knew about) and "go out and cause trouble in East Germany." What trouble he didn't specify.

I am wondering now, did the 28 IND annoy everyone long enough that they were written into being deployed to the UK first?

[chico20854]

Chico

I am wondering now, did the 28 IND annoy everyone long enough that they were written into being deployed to the UK first?

I guess so?

I was in the 28th in the mid-90s. My impression was that my unit (the signal battalion) was very proficient in its technical performance and utterly and totally lacking in tactical performance. When we have the occasional threads here about "what would have happened to you in the war" I always think my answer would be either "killed in an ambush driving around the division rear area" or "killed while sleeping because the guard was goofing off/sleeping/drinking". The battalion was basically a drinking club that wore camouflage and operated a MSE network...

My duties there concerned keeping track of the equipment and keeping the trucks and generators running (and it was post-Cold War) so I had zero visibility into what the wartime employment was supposed to be!

Maybe this is just a way to keep options open by not committing the 28th or I Corps to a specific alignment in nato plans. The 28th and I Corps also figured in Korean reinforcement plans.

FWIW I corps had training and readiness oversight of 9th motorized, 6th ID, and 7th ID in the late 80s. They kind of acted like the “swing corps”. III, V, VII were all pointed at europe. XVIII was probably going to CENTCOM.

Are you sure about 28 IND for Korea? If so, please tell more, Korea is plans are hard to find. See my The Army’s Role in The Pacific post yesterday.

In a regional War (just Korea popping off, not the Central Front)
I have only seen plans for the following in the 1980’s:
I Corps
IX Corps
2 IND
6 LID
7 LID
9 Mtz D
25 LID
40 MXD
29 SIB
41 SIB
81 MXB
157 MXB

Yep- came out of a conversation with a former adc-m of the 28th at a meeting. We were talking about Korea and he brought up that starting in 89, the 28th started sending staff officers to usfk exercises and training for the I corps mission on the peninsula.

I’m not sure how far they were written in or what their role was.

[Louied]

That's great info, thank you!

I think Korea became “the only war we have” in the 1990s.

Is this the same 28th that the PA National Guard belongs to and trains at The Gap? When I was in the 4th/92nd FA (Reserve), we had an ORE where a bunch of grunts from the 28th (PA-NG) aggressed our RSOP/Advanced Party while we were surveying a new firing position and we mopped the floor with them. I guess they thought we'd be pushovers even though EVERY NCO on our Advanced Party was a Vietnam [COMBAT] veteran.

We had 26 souls and were aggressed by a Company and we won with only 4 killed & 8 casualties. To this day, I HATE carrying the Pig... right up until the bullets start to fly. NEITHER the M249 nor the M240 are guns that you can advance and fire with very easily. They are too long and have a forward weight distribution in their balance. The Pig, however, is pretty compact with the weight just forward of the gun body, and with the bipod legs swung forward past the muzzle brake, doesn't snag on brush. additionally, the forward bipod legs allow you to set it "muzzle down" for loading without plugging the bore. Muzzle-down loading also helps get the belt moving on the feed tray because gravity holds the belt forward as you close the cover. The 550 rpm rate of fire is also very controllable at a slow walk in the brush. We just laid out a wall of suppressive fire to pin their own base of fire down and went toe-toe with their maneuver element in some dense scrub brush on the edges of our RSOP site. I was impressed with how accurate the M60 is if you just give her 6-round bursts on man-sized targets at about 50m. You could hold those bursts on target FROM THE SHOULDER!

It probably didn't hurt us that EVERY 5-Ton in our Battery (we had just converted from tracked SP 8" M110s to 155mm/6" M198 towed Howitzers) had a .50 Caliber machinegun mounted on it. It was like the Depot Commander at First Army was just standing there watching us load when a Corporal said to him "Hey Sir, what are supposed to do with all these extra M2's over there?" and the Depot Commander said: "Give them to those guys. They have a bunch of 5-Tons with ring mounts on them." We LITERALLY HAD 2 40mm M203s, 2 M60s, 2 M2HBs, and 2 M9's (for the drivers, in place of our Grease Guns) IN EVERY GUN SECTION. In addition, Maintenance (our supply, commo, NBC, and mess sections) had either a .50 Caliber or a MK19 Grenade Launcher, an M60, and a 40mm M203 per section as did our three motor pool trucks, our two FDC trucks, and our three Headquarters/Command vehicles (hummers). We had so many belt-fed MGs that half our ammo draw wasn't even 5.56mm.

But now I know we weren't the only ones who the Army did this for, because I watched the Chieftain's Hatch video on the M1 abrams and those lucky bastards even got a Mossberg 590a1 12 gauge. I'd have been bird hunting while I was deployed if they had issued me a shotgun during RESTORE HOPE (although we did shoot a wild boar that wandered into our battery area once).

The HHT of a light cavalry squadron had 22 .50 cals. 8 on support platoon 5 tons, 12 on mess section five tons, and 2 in the maintenance platoon. I’ve heard that putting all 22 on line in the field trains may have been a very unpleasant surprise for the NTC OPFOR.

I think Korea became “the only war we have” in the 1990s.

That would seem to be the background for the 1991 Army in the Pacific document Louied posted earlier; there's 4 MD and 5 MD mentioned in there as possible Pacific forces.

Shrike,

Excellent! Keep it coming. As an aside, another of the many things that bothered me about T2k and their ORBATS, I think 6LID would have been going to Korea or Japan not half way around the World to Norway, especially when you already had 10 LID earmarked (and had been a POMCUS Div) in the late 1980's.

[pmulcahy11b]

I think Korea became “the only war we have” in the 1990s.

You have no idea of how true that was, and probably still is.

[pmulcahy11b]

It probably didn't hurt us that EVERY 5-Ton in our Battery (we had just converted from tracked SP 8" M110s to 155mm/6" M198 towed Howitzers) had a .50 Caliber machinegun mounted on it. It was like the Depot Commander at First Army was just standing there watching us load when a Corporal said to him "Hey Sir, what are supposed to do with all these extra M2's over there?" and the Depot Commander said: "Give them to those guys. They have a bunch of 5-Tons with ring mounts on them." We LITERALLY HAD 2 40mm M203s, 2 M60s, 2 M2HBs, and 2 M9's (for the drivers, in place of our Grease Guns) IN EVERY GUN SECTION. In addition, Maintenance (our supply, commo, NBC, and mess sections) had either a .50 Caliber or a MK19 Grenade Launcher, an M60, and a 40mm M203 per section as did our three motor pool trucks, our two FDC trucks, and our three Headquarters/Command vehicles (hummers). We had so many belt-fed MGs that half our ammo draw wasn't even 5.56mm.

But now I know we weren't the only ones who the Army did this for, because I watched the Chieftain's Hatch video on the M1 abrams and those lucky bastards even got a Mossberg 590a1 12 gauge. I'd have been bird hunting while I was deployed if they had issued me a shotgun during RESTORE HOPE (although we did shoot a wild boar that wandered into our battery area once).

That was a surprise when I transferred from 2/7 at 24th ID (now 3rd ID), where most of the trucks, even the legacy deuce-and-a-halfs, had ring mounts for either M60s or M2HBs. When I got to G3 at 2X (2nd ID HHC), none of the trucks had ring mounts for anyone. The MP company that deployed with us had heavily-armed HMMWVs, and once we pulled into a position, we dug pits for "infantry" positions (I, Eric Harmon, and Mike McCauley, as the only true infantrymen in the DTAC, along with a superfluous officer, had to set up those defenses, sleeping positions, the "latrine," etc) we dug fighting positions for heavy and medium machineguns, Dragons, and our single TOW launcher.

When I got to 2X, I was the only one qualified on the Dragon, as well as the only one who knew how to use a ground-mount TOW launcher (though I didn't have a qualification), so I immediately was put on rectifying that problem. And Eric, Mike, and I also had to teach the REMFs how to use about a half-dozen "infantry" weapons, and serve as range personnel when we did M16 qualification. 2X G3 was an awesome unit, and I learned more than I can keep in my head at this late date, but as far as defending the DTOC and DTAC, it was a cluster. Probably why Eric, Mike and I got MSMs when we left the unit.

Shrike,

Whats really cool to me about the 6th ID one is that it provides conformation of a second Scout Group in Alaska. Up till now I only had one source on it which was a fuzzy map showing an infantry group in Nome Ak aside from the 207th. I couldnt quite make out the unit number and thought it was the 29th IG now I know its the 297th and was around between at least 1989 to 1991.

It may look like other divisions are closer but if you notice the Strategic Mobility slide it shows that it takes an hour less for the 6th to deploy from Alaska to Europe than for the 10th to deploy from NY. (This includes 2 hours for the 10th to get to an airfield. Using Fairbanks and Syracuse as the starting point and Oslo as the end point. There is only 126 miles difference between the total mileage traveled from either point which isnt alot when your flying.

[Louied]

Shrike6,

Thanks I didn't even think about the air mileage! You do have a point, but do you think they would have withdrawn a PACOM Div while the Soviets were fighting (with a ton of troops) in the Far East and Korea kicking off?

For 10 LID, it looks like they were going to use Griffiss AFB near Utica (before it closed).

Shrike, go over to tanknet, 297 Inf Gp shows up in the October 1990 edition "Army: Magazine of Landpower"

[James1978]

The 297th Infantry Regiment (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/297th_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States))is the parent regiment for Alaska NG Scout/Infantry battalions.

According to the TankNet ORBAT and the Wiki article, 1-297th Infantry (Scout) was in Nome.

I suspect that any mention of a distinct 297th Infantry Group was a typo.

[Louied]

James,

It appears in 1990 they split the 207 Inf Grp in two. The three pure Scout Bns fell under 297 Inf Grp and the others (IIRC one Lt Inf which was a temporary RO for 6 LID, one hybrid Light, and one hybrid Mech) stayed as the 207th. That October 1990 issue lists both of them. Just don’t know the answer to why? One of those things lost in those early end of the Cold War days I guess….

[Louied]

Alaskan Scouts/ARNG
In 1948 the Alaskan units became part of the Army National Guard system with the scout battalions designated the 297th Infantry. In its present organization there are five scout battalions and a group headquarters. The 1st, 2d, and 3d Battalions are "pure" scout units headquartered in Nome, Bethel, and Kotzebue, respectively. Each of these units is made up of a number of scout companies scattered over a geo graphic area equal in size to several of the lower 48 states. The basic scout unit is the five-man scout team consisting of a team leader, a radio telephone operator, and three scouts or observers. Its mis sions are primarily reconnaissance oriented rather than combat oriented. For special operations such as am bushes, raids, or direct combat ac tion, two or more scout teams are organized as a patrol to accomplish the mission. The teams report their observations to their respective company head quarters, which pass the intelligence information to the battalions. From the battalions, the information is passed to the group headquarters and then to the Army Force Commander in Alaska, whose headquarters then sends it to other units within the state. Each scout company has from 10 to 20 teams, depending upon the population in the company area. These scout companies are also unique in that they have female soldiers who are authorized to perform medical, supply, administrative, and communication activities but not ac tive combat missions. The 4th Scout Battalion, located in Juneau and along the southeast Alaska panhandle, is organized some what differently. It is similar to a light infantry unit in that it has light crew-served weapons such as M60 machineguns and 81mm mortars. The unit also has six LCM8 landing craft. The 5th Scout Battalion, in An chorage and Fairbanks, is a mechan ized unit and has both Ml 13 and M577 armored vehicles. This unit has more ground mobility than its sister units and heavier firepower with its .50 caliber machineguns and 107mm mortars. It can be considered a cross between an armored cavalry and a mechanized infantry unit and is responsible for covering the state's in terior road network and for helping to defend the various military in stallations in the interior. The group headquarters company has a company headquarters, a group headquarters, a communication pla toon, an airborne detachment (to per form long range reconnaissance patrols and pathfinder missions), and an aviation detachment (with 18 UH-1 and 4 CH-54 aircraft). Each battalion has an aviation section with two UH-1 and one UV-18 Twin Otter fixed-wing aircraft, and the 4th and 5th Battalions also have combat engineer platoons. Because of their scattered locations and specialized missions, these scouts have to rely on aerial resupply or live off the land.

[shrike6]

There had to be some history there. Think about the US Army/ American Vehicle Guides for a moment. The 1st and 2nd IB, the 2nd is the 207th as stated. The 1st states that it is an Alaskan ARNG Bde that assumed responsibility for internal security and LRRP along the Bering Strait. I have a hard time believing in coincidences. There had to be some talk in the early 1980s of putting an additional bde sized combat unit in the AK NG. Which eventually produced the 297the IG IMO.

Thanks I didn't even think about the air mileage! You do have a point, but do you think they would have withdrawn a PACOM Div while the Soviets were fighting (with a ton of troops) in the Far East and Korea kicking off?
I suppose it came down to which theater needed the manpower more and it is alot easier to shift the 6ID east to Europe rather than the 7th or the Electric Strawberry.

For 10 LID, it looks like they were going to use Griffiss AFB near Utica (before it closed). Sounds right, it was late when I was writing that last nite. Utica changes the mileage to 3,585 mi.

First I've heard of it although not totally surprised by it though. From reading it they were basically transferring a USAR Hvy Bde from the first Army Area to the 6th Army. Considering the 157th MX BDE is the only Hvy Bde in USAR and was the First Army area. Also consider that the 157 BDE is in an area where they were having recruiting problems already if you consider the combining of three guard divisions to one. It really isn't surprising and might also explain the appearance of the heavy cav troop e/118th in the 1990s. It would be fairly easy to do.

Shrike,

I thought the same, I also wondered that since you there was a USAR Tank Bn already in Arizona that they would just raise an additional ARNG Tank Bn along with a Mech Bn for the Bde. Please let me know if you find more, especially the initial correspondence that this seems to be responding to.

Louie,
I thought about the 8-40th too. I also thought the 1-180th FA would eventually become the OPFORs FA battalion in the 90s, leaving the 2-180th for DS to this brigade. You could then convert the 153rd FA Bde HQ to be the HQ for this Heavy Bde (158th?). Makes one wonder where they intended to place the other elements. NM was scheduled to lose a large chunk ADA assets in the 90s. They might be able to provide a battalion. Just a thought.
If I come across more I'll post other than what I posted above.

Thanks Paul,

This USAHEC is great, you find gems but it takes literally hours to go through. It also seems like Fourth US Army deposited all their papers there. Not so much on the others.

It looks like the Holy Grail is the CAPSTONE Volumes and the Time Phased Deployment List/Force Packages. The question is who has them?
Looks, so far, that the USAHEC doesn’t.

[Louied]

Shrike/Chico,

Sent a FOI Request Dept of The Army, specifically DCSOPS. Hopefully they have the CAPSTONE volumes (two years ago I did a FOI to FORSCOM with no luck)

The more I read into Capstone the more I am not so sure that there is a list of alignments.

I hope you're right about it though.

I recall from reading about the Desert Shield deployment (https://www.jcs.mil/Portals/36/Documents/History/Monographs/Transcom.pdf) that the Time Phased Deployment List/Force Packages for the CENTCOM AOR were in the midst of a major rewrite when Saddam invaded Kuwait, which caused no end of hassle. (see p 43) So I think it might be a collection of plans (for each region/scenario) that evolved over time, and it might have been computerized rather than paper documents, which could be problematic! Best of luck!

[Louied]

I guess so?

I was in the 28th in the mid-90s. My impression was that my unit (the signal battalion) was very proficient in its technical performance and utterly and totally lacking in tactical performance. When we have the occasional threads here about "what would have happened to you in the war" I always think my answer would be either "killed in an ambush driving around the division rear area" or "killed while sleeping because the guard was goofing off/sleeping/drinking". The battalion was basically a drinking club that wore camouflage and operated a MSE network...

My duties there concerned keeping track of the equipment and keeping the trucks and generators running (and it was post-Cold War) so I had zero visibility into what the wartime employment was supposed to be!

Shrike & Chico, from UKCICC Minutes October 1988:

US Formations Staging Through the UK

a. II Marine Expeditionary Force (IIMEF)
Detailed accommodation requirements for II MEF were it to stage through the UK in wartime, have now been received from the US and work is in hand to identify and earmark suitable sites within the desired radius of the formation's arrival air and sea ports (Liverpool). The maximum requirement would be 28 individual unit sites or, if collocated, 11 larger sites to accommodate 40,600 personnel and their associated vehicles and equipment. The staging of II MEF through the UK will be simulated in Exercise WINTEX/CIMEX 89.
b. US Infantry Division
Whilst it has been confirmed that SACEUR now intends the 9th Infantry Division deploy direct to BALTAP without staging through the UK, the US are likely nonetheless to require staging facilities in the UK for the smaller 28th Infantry Division (17,000 strong). Details of the support and facilities which would be required for this formation are awaited from US staff.

[Louied]

It also appears, from the same document, that Canada formally requested that the UK allow them to establish a Canadian European Theatre Base to support Canadian Forces committed to NATO. They further requested facilities to store 16,000 tons of tri-service ammunition.

Wow, that was amusing to read! I think that had to do with the ill-fated "Tri-CAP Division" that I'd heard about in the early '80s wargaming magazines: 1 brigade each armored, airmobile infantry with lots and lots of TOWs, and air cavalry.

Considering what and where I've been pulling from, it was nice to see a bit of levity in there. Glad someone enjoyed it as much as I did. Not sure what WEB or the public knew at that point he might have thought it was still Airmobile hard to say.
