I think we had the discussion about the 8th a few months back and it was agreed that the number of M2 Bradley's as listed (42 from memory) had to be a typo.
This was based on the comment that the majority of the infantry were carried in trucks.
Therefore a more "realistic" (yeah, I know, it's an ironic term for what is essentially a work of fantasy) number of APCs might be just 22, significantly reducing the combat power and manouverability of the division.
We cannot reduce the number of M2s much lower than that as it's also mentioned that the Apache helicopter (currently dragged around on a truck) shares ammo with the 25mm cannon of the M2s and there isn't (for 2000) a shortage of this.
