U.S.Army CAPSTONE Alignments circa 1989
Though my expertise is the British Army, I recently delved into the U.S.Army in 1989.
Now the Army CAPSTONE program was started in 1979, to align RC units with wartime missions in Europe (NATO), Korea, and SW Asia, along with missions in CONUS & Theatre Defense. I found some interesting stuff recently in the minutes of some Defense Authorization Committees and State Adjutant General's reports, along with articles from various Army Branch magazines (Armor, Field Artillery, Etc) 26 ID European/NATO 28 ID SWA/XVIII Corps 29 ID(L) European/NATO, secondary SWA (not 100% confirmed yet on either) 34/47 ID Replaces 6 ID(L) if it goes to Korea, under I Corps, unknown secondary 35 ID (M) European/NATO 38 ID European/NATO 40 ID(M) Korea, secondary European/NATO or SWA 42 ID European/NATO 49 AD European/NATO 50 AD European/NATO 27 IB(L) RO 10 MtnD(L) 29 IB Corps mission (taken directly from Congressional Testimony) 30 IB(M) European/NATO (taken directly from Congressional Testimony)possibly AFSOUTH (Italy, Greece, Turkey) 30 AB European/NATO 31 AB European/NATO 32 IB(M) European/NATO (Reforger deployments) 33 IB unknown, suuposed to reinforce Inf School at Benning (mid 80's) but "Maneuver and Firepower" states five ARNG brigades were organized as "Rear Battle" brigades 39 IB unknown, but augmented 101 AbnD(AA) in mid 80's also, maybe Rear Battle brigade 41 IB I Corps Rear Battle brigade (taken directly from Congressional Testimony and a former Officer in the Bde) 45 IB III Corps Rear Battle brigade 53 IB Theatre Defense Reinforces 193 IB in Panama 73 IB Theatre Defense"non-NATO mission in Aleutian Islands" Ohio AG report 81 IB(M) RO 9 ID(Mtz) 92 IB Theatre Defense/SOUTHCOM Reserve 116 CB RO 4 ID(M) 155 AB RO 1 CD 163 AB Korea, secondary European/NATO 207 IG(S)Theatre Defense Alaska 218 IB(M) unknown 256 IB(M) RO 5 ID(M) 107 ACR European/NATO 278 ACR SWA, secondary European/NATO 157 IB(M) Unknown 187 IB Theatre Defense Iceland 205 IB(L) RO 6 ID(L) I have also filed a FOI request and awaiting an answer. |
