I could imagine NATO formations by 2000 doing away with HQ's below the battalion level effectively-with platoons and even companies being more of a paper nominal organization so no HQ at company level?

On a related note ironically I think many NATO formations by 2000 would resemble Red Army formations 1944/45 with a relatively sparse "tail" and straining to keep as many combat-capable riflemen on the front. By Vietnam, approximately 90% of a US division was in the "tail" with approximately 10-12% being available for combat. Could a reverse for NATO formations by the year 2000 be feasible?
