This is all good stuff, but I want to read a little more on the organization of the units. I've been reading more on the operational theories for the employment of forces had we fought the war in Europe that we had prepared for for so long. I'm going to go back and read the source material again as well to try and get a handle on unit movement a bit better. I know that during the fear of possible Nuke attack, they dispersed the formations of the different units. It was either that or risk the annihilation that you mentioned. The risk to this was, if you were near the line....you diluted your defensive/offensive capabilities....so you were more at risk of being dispersed or destroyed by larger enemy formations.
