there were several MP brigades but they only had light armor at best - and considering vehicle losses in Europe they may have had everything except their Hummers taken away and sent there instead

and I think the 42nd got sent to Yugoslavia before the Mexicans crossed the border and thus they were out of the picture

and canon missed the training brigade in California- but at best they would have had Sheridan's and M113 made to look like BMP's and Soviet tanks
You'd be amazed as to the amount of LAWS and the like are available to such units.
