The Pentomic Division: the concept is simple; your division has five battlegroups, each consisting of a infantry battalion, a tank company, a cavalry troop and a battery of artillery. Division has Davy Crockett/Honest John support (complete with tacnukes!!!!) and a battalion of 155mm for general support (did I mention complete with tacnukes?). Downside is your "division" is now more like a reinforced brigade. Plus side is that you can now field more divisions for the same money AND they can survive a nuclear war!!!!!!!
The TriCap Division: this concept was really pulled out of the bottom of somebody's duffle bag! Your division consists of a Brigade of Attack Helicopters, a Brigade of Airmobile Infantry and a Brigade of Armor. You use the airmobile infantry to set a blocking position to use the numerous TOW/Dragons they have, the attack helicopters shoot the shit out of any tanks moving and your armor brigade conducts its set-piece counterattack.

Hey I kinda like the TriCap Division outfit. If one looked at the 2nd Infantry Division before 9-11 it was basically the same thing with it 1 brigade with 2 Air Assault Battalions. Then again in Korea it might make sense. Never made it over there. Besides they had to do something with all those surplus aircraft after Vietnam...
The Pentomic Division was someone the wet dream of those who brought us the Unit of Action concept....before they relabeled them Brigade Combat Teams...lol
