Yes, I also realize this too, that is one of reason why I believe that helo assets would be consolidated more quickly. Too keep those that were operational with the ability to perform their functions. Never bough into the theory into units operating at less 50% of their authorized TO&E before the Nukes dropped in late 1997 and 1998. If Aviation unit or Armor unit dropped below they would be relieved of front-line service and sent to the rear for rest and reoragnization. Which could include the handing over of equipment and personnel to other units to keep them functional.
