The headache grows. The 43rd and 49th Military Police Brigades have similar continuity issues:

49TH MILITARY POLICE BRIGADE
A California National Guard Brigade, which was brought into federal service on 20 August 1996. In November of 1996 the brigade moved to San Diego, California and became responsible for traffic control in the area of the port of embarkation. In June of 1997, the brigade was made responsible for security and distribution of foodstuffs in the southern half of military region IX (California, Nevada and New Mexico). In September of 1997, the brigade reformed at Fort Irwin, California and came under command of newly formed 89th Corps. It was soon involved in combat with advance elements of the Mexican Army, and by the end of the year had been forced back to Camp
Roberts, California.

Emphasis mine again for the same reason. I'm now wondering if someone the
US Army Vehicle Guide was working off a draft timeline that had the nuclear strikes occurring in 1996 rather than 1997, and this discrepancy didn't get caught during the book's development cycle. I can't find any evidence that there were major internal security and food distribution problems happening before the TDM.
