Actually Leg the RDF book proves that they had to load tanks and helos from Germany and bring them to the RDF
and missing ships doesnt mean anything - Frank said that the French had a naval squadron in the area and then left them out of the OOB - so leaving out US ships could also have been done
You can tell by looking at the US vehicle guide versus the RDF
24th Mech
July 1, 2000 - 2000 men, 9 M1A2
Jan 1, 2001 - 4000 men, 18 AFV
101st
July 1, 2000 - 4000 men 4 AH-64
Jan 1, 2001 - 4000 men, 4 AH-64, 12 UH-60
9th ID
July 1, 2000 - 1500 men, 12 LAV-75
Jan 1, 2001 - 3000 men, 16 AFV
82nd
July 1, 2000 -3000 men, 7 AFV
Jan 1, 2001 - 3000 men 12 AFV
6th ACCB
July 1, 2000 - 600 men 12 AH-64
Jan 1, 2001 - 1100 men, 6 OH-58, 12 AH-64
1st Marine
July 1, 2000 - 3000 men, 6 M1
Jan 1, 2001 - 3000 men 16 AFV
3rd Marine
July 1, 2000 - 4000 men 5 M1
Jan 1, 2001 - 4000 men, 12 AFV
Add up the difference and what do you get
4000 men
35 AFV's
12 UH-60 helos
6 OH-58 helos
meaning 2000 men havent been accounted for yet in the formations or they took losses in men and AFV's between June and Jan and they were made up
So that makes a possible 3rd Armored Division transfer even more likely along with possibly the other 1000 men being assigned with the 18 helos
they had 5000 men and 54 AFV after all and that definitely would give the RDF the reinforcements seen above
and the remaining men and AFV's may not have arrived yet - its says the first of 6000 reinforcements arrived in Dec of 2000 - it doesnt say that they had all arrived
so there it is Leg - its canon that tanks and helos were brought from Europe to the RDF in the December 2000 reinforcement
