I wondered if that 3rd brigade was meant to be helicoptered as needed as a quick reserve, or possibly airliftable as a strategic reserve for the Pacific theater, or simply easily airliftable from Ft. Lewis to the ROK?
ISTR the 7th and 25th divisions were restructured as Light, in hopes of being able to airlift them to ROK (or somewhere else) in a hurry. Some of 7th ID's battalions did just that in Panama, 1989.
