Default 36th Infantry Division reborn

Reader Joseph Stefula writes to say the first US Army National Guard to be organized under the new "Unit of Action" TO will be the Texas 36th Division. The 49th Armored Division, also of Texas, will be stood down and its units incorporated into the 36th Division. We assume the change is being made because of the need to shift from heavy forces for Central Europe to lighter forces for the new paradigms. Orbat.com has a serious complaint Why on Earth is the US Army complicating matters by using the term Unit of Action? Is not a brigade a UA? Unless this is a cunning scheme to fool enemy intelligence, we suggest the US Army's planners be shifted to the field if they have so much time on their hands.

Part of me finds that interesting, that was the unit I believe my grandfather fought with in WWII...


However this constant shifting and reshifting of units, terminology is puzzling. I guess it's not as bad during the Clinton years when units and bases were being cut in droves but still. Or the plans to merge the armed forces into one structure/command.


(Anybody else remember that insane moment?)



Until Later
