Looking for Us 5th OOB

[Raellus]

I thought it would be better to resurrect this thread than start a new one.

Grae, if you're out there, nice work on your 5th OOB. One question for you: where is the 3-143 infantry? It's mentioned in the Escape form Kalisz scenario but I didn't see it listed for either your light or heavy battalions.

Anyway, that's not the main reason I posted here. I'm prepping a classic Escape type campaign for a company-sized unit. I want my company to be foot-mobile/truck mounted (no IFVs or APCs) and I want it to be designated G Company.

G Company, 3-143rd Infantry, 5th Mechanized Infantry Division

The U.S. army doesn't really use anything beyond E for company designations anymore does it? IT seems like every battalion- even in the same regiment or brigade- just has A-C,D companies. How can I justify a G company other than to just say "it's the Twilight World"?

I also want to attach a vehicle maintenance unit to my infantry company. Would this change the combined unit's designation? I mean, would it have to become a task force or combined task force, or battle group, or something like that?

Thanks.
