Hi all,
While working on my BAOR document, as you might know, I have taken a stab at the U.S. Army in the 1980's. I'll be brief but believe it or not it has been much easier dealing with the MOD/British Army than getting any info from DOD/U.S. Army.........I digress........ I have attached scans from the book U.S. Army Guard & Reserve: Rhetoric, Realities, Risks the deployment times are from the early 1980's (prior to 1984) and represent the "best-case".....as you will also see there are some minor typos (2nd Inf Div (Mech) !?!?!?) but from my research so far its pretty accurate. Re: POMCUS ......It looks like POMCUS wouldn't have been fully stocked until the early 1990's at the earliest..... I have read multiple documents (Congressional testimony etc.) that basically state that 5 ID(M) was planned on going to Europe via ship........as of 1989 the "10 in 10" (Division Equivalents) would have been: III Corps 4 ID (M) 1 CD (-) 2 AD 3ACR = 3 DE V Corps 8 ID (M) 3 AD 194 AB 197 IB (M) 11 ACR = 3 DEs VII Corps 1 ID (M) 3 ID (M) 1 AD 2 ACR = 3 1/3 DE For a Total of 9 1/3 DE 5 ID (M) (-) would come via the SL-7 fleet (2 Bdes) making a total of 10 DE. I have not included the ARNG Bdes because according to the U.S. Army in Congressional Testimony they were NOT planning on having any ARNG R/O Bdes in Europe as part of "10 in 10" |
