OOB UAE and Dubai Army
The Amred Forces of Dubai and UAE was due to upgrade after 1991, but when the
Twilight war started, the armed forces of UAE and Dubai only had recived 80 BMP-3's
out of around 430 vehicles. None of the 469 Leclercs was delivered to the countries.
Instead they got their hands on second hand vehicles. Still even if the army is
realtive large it cannot support actions outside the borders due to largely a
not so well developed support force. Also the lack of Anti-armor weapons

While not following RDF at all, but rather LAW0369's idea of what would happen in
the gulf, the reinforcment would come from Korea in 2001. After the European
evacutaion of US troops the fleet steams for Korea to get troops home. All troops
in Korea (except 41si Inf Div and 45th Inf Div) is shiped to the gulf. I would
point out that ideas is for this I got from LAW0369 and Frank Frey.

OOB Israeli Army
In the Twilight war the Israeli army philosophy was to have a core of rediness
for each division that would basically be 2 battalions at high alert in Israel.
The strength would within hours be 4 folded from original strength within 36
hours. This is basically the theory what the israeli army would do if she got
invaded to wage war on their neighbours. Still 36th Division occupies the line
from Tyre to Golan Heights and has full strength.
NOTE : this OOB reflect the strength before call up, aditional men will ad to
the formations when they get called up.
