In reality, with the Light Infantry Divisions, it was always hoped that the Stryker Brigades now would be developed and attached to these Division to give them some punch, but Armor/Mechanized felt it was better to "rush" a Brigade to beef them up if they needed.
Honestly like I said, modularization should of taken placed in the 80s. Grenada and Panama operations weren't exactly Corps size operations, and Panama was probably the first taste of borrowing units from several divisions to make a complete field unit that was needed. Again in 1990-1991 they did the same thing for Desert Shield/Storm, strong arguments should of prevailed then, but it wasn't until 2003 when it was realized it easier to keep the Division organization loose, but that another story.
