The whole thing with the Division XLVIIXIVLIIIMLIII () is that it seems to take a great leap back from what we know works.

I was around when we made the leap from 3 companies up to 4 smaller companies...we found that the additional of the 4 company gave us a lot better tactical flexibility over the "old" 3 company battalion....so a dozen years later, we get the "4 companies is inefficient"? The tank platoon used to be 5 tanks, we found that 4 tanks was the most efficient balance between staying power and flexibility...now its 3 tanks?!?!?!

I think some dipshit in the Pentagon may have had an accident with Windows!
