I find the Littlefield idea interesting story wise, and I'll see how I use it.
As far as the 40th ID: I think that it makes more sense for the brigade that is available to be the main body aound which reservists are trained, equipped and deployed. My understanding is that reservists in Calilfornia and Oregon would be available, and so while the normal processes might face a lot of challenges, I think it is reasonable that a division can b formed around reserve units.
The division has considerable support in the form of logistics, tansport, signals and engineers to make this possible.
Because of this I'm going to cut down somewhat on armoured vehicles to reflect losses of fuel and parts, and halve the number of APCs, mortar carriers, etc. I think for artillery and aviation I will simply restict their use, and have their use controlled at high levels of command.
