And you can always have a few more raised. Never forget, in each of the canon time lines, the Soviets had increasingly been mobilizing for the China War. By time WW3 broke out, all their Cat C forces were either mobilized or were mobilizing and a lot of Reservist had already been called up. By the time NATO was involved, all of their wartime production plans were up and running (but so too was the West's for the most part - either to supply the Chinese or as part of the run-up to full war).
Clearly, GDW did not have EVERY unit accounted for, even US forces are woefully incomplete. For example, there are dozens of brigades of various types not mentioned anywhere. Combat Engineer Brigades and Corp Artillery Brigades are all but ignored. Corps HQ units are barely mentioned, and each US Corps command brings a TON of combat support and fire power to the fight. Same with the Soviets. Also, the Spetsnaz and MVD/KGB units are never really discussed either, which gives any game master wanting to add a lot of a fertile unit territory to mine.
