Someone - I think it might have been Graebarde but could be mistaken, in which case apologies to the correct author - did a really good write up of how the 5th Division might look in July 2000. It went into a lot of detail - if I remember correctly it even had names for each of the Division's gun trucks.
Not sure if that's what you're after Hybris...it sounds like it might be...unfortunately I did have a copy of it at some point in the distant past, but don't have any more. Perhaps someone else has and might be able to post it?

Great material. I will take profit from it in my current campaign.

I thought it would be better to resurrect this thread than start a new one.
Grae, if you're out there, nice work on your 5th OOB. One question for you: where is the 3-143 infantry? It's mentioned in the Escape form Kalisz scenario but I didn't see it listed for either your light or heavy battalions. Anyway, that's not the main reason I posted here. I'm prepping a classic Escape type campaign for a company-sized unit. I want my company to be foot-mobile/truck mounted (no IFVs or APCs) and I want it to be designated G Company. G Company, 3-143rd Infantry, 5th Mechanized Infantry Division The U.S. army doesn't really use anything beyond E for company designations anymore does it? IT seems like every battalion- even in the same regiment or brigade- just has A-C,D companies. How can I justify a G company other than to just say "it's the Twilight World"? I also want to attach a vehicle maintenance unit to my infantry company. Would this change the combined unit's designation? I mean, would it have to become a task force or combined task force, or battle group, or something like that? Thanks.

Regrettably I don't know who wrote this, but I am pretty sure it is someone here. It is a full breakdown of the 5th right before the battle of Kalisz.
Edit:Just Saw the post above and I think it is Graebeard's |

Here is a breakdown I put together for a Combined Arms miniatures scenario based on the Battle of Kalisz. Each “Stand†represents 3-6 vehicles or a platoon of troops.
I have one for the Russians/Poles too. |

I would appreciate seeing the Russian and Polish ones. I have for years been trying to build up my 1/285 Miniatures collection. I have about 1000 vehicles total (plus about 200 cavalry). One of my goals is to have all the vehicles necessary for the Battle of Kalisz. Those docs will help me figure out what I am missing. |
