Also that there are "numerous smaller specialty and support units"-- that's something I could exploit in tweaking things for the history I want.

Could be that an MEU first deployed, then the rest of the regiment plus attachments arrived.

regarding "numerous smaller specialty and support units", 1-125 Field Artillery Minnesota National Guard was supposed to deploy to Norway if things went bad in RL. They (and the 4th MEB) had equipment pre-positioned in Norway.

In my campaign, a National Guard infantry brigade also goes to Norway. 3-172nd Infantry VT NG is the only mountain infantry unit in the US, in my campaign, 3-172nd is one of three other mountain infantry battalions that comprise the NG brigade sent to Norway (in my campaign 172nd IB, but I am not very imaginative). The 172nd IB includes 3-172nd, an NG battalion from Colorado and I can't remember the rest, will need to check notes when I am home.
