Thanks!

I extensively mined that website; it is an incredible resource the likes of which I'm sure the DIA would have killed for (or prosecuted anyone that revealed if they had their own internal version!) back in the 80s. The page above that in the structure http://www.ww2.dk/new/army/msd/msd.htm lists it among the mobilization-only divisions, which is why I categorized it as such. There was an earlier version of the site that had a heirarchy of readiness from A all the way to G. (A to C are the familiar ones, D is a unit like this that has a fairly substantial equipment pool and cadre, F are training divisions and G are more along the lines of "a warehouse full of SKSs and RPDs, two colonels and a list of local reservists."
