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." |
The internet is just such an awesome place for geeks to find information on their subjects of passion. It's amazing what one can come across here. I bet DIA had those infos in the 80s, a lot of the barracks are clearly referenced with US terminology and names, but imagine a broader public of experts could have had these information back then: Big data analyzes are just so powerful when compared to smaller data studies.
