On Reflagging

[Homer]

256th IN BDE existed as a separate LAARNG mech bde in various guises until becoming an IBCT in the mid/late 2000s. Their MATES site was on North Fort Polk and they shot gunnery on the 40 series ranges and MPRC at Polk at least through the early 00s.

Thanks for this insight.

I guess the question is how would inactivated divisions just be reactivated in their pre-existing structure in response to a Twilight War level of crisis? Or would they constitute whole new structures? I can see that when 5ID inactivated, some of the units were moved to 2AD. Would they be sucked back in, leaving those other divisions understrength?

As to round out brigades - while interesting that it would take several months for them to be ready after being activated, I don't see how they could reconstitute an entire division with Guard units while waiting to form active units in a reactivated organization.
