It looks like that chart is from 1986/87 and it also lists the Berlin Bde as 199th

It makes me wonder. There is nothing in the lineage of either bde that shows that actually happening though. I wonder if there wasnt a plan to reflag the Berlin Bde because the bde had no combat history something similar to the School Bde/6th ADA Bde being reflagged to 30th ADA Bde and it didnt happen because the cold war ended. maybe it would have happened if the bde had transformed to AOE configuration?

Chief of Staff Army Total Army Analysis 1992 Force Program Decision Briefing

https://emu.usahec.org/alma/multimed...025463I001.pdf

Apparently the Army did one of these "Program Objective Memorandum" biennially for review by the Office of SECDEF.

Again the above document should be read in conjunction with this:

Chapters 1 & 2

Any thoughts on why V Corps is getting two additional ACRs ?

Chico, please I hope you do! I have the researcher at the Ridgeway Library looking for a 1989-90 version. I’m also looking for an updated, again for 1989-90, force allocation chart.

Ok, I found it in the deep archives... the crawl space. The full poster (effective date: October 1990) is about 3 feet wide and 2 feet long, so I had to piece it together from multiple scans on my dinky home printer/scanner. It's here and while it isn't pretty it is complete.
When I get back to the office and a full-sheet scanner I'll get a nicer version done, including the notes on the back.

Enjoy!

Thanks Chico! Keep it coming! Does that chart also have the Brigades on the back ?

I recently bought this book and it is excellent ....

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The author served in 3 ACR, I was told by him that the 3 ACR's POMCUS stock was in Kaiserslautern at least until 1984, which jives with the Force Allocation chart showing 3 ACR being CAPSTONED to V Corps.

I also found this, one page paper, unknown date, regarding POMCUS. I am figuring late 1980's.....Chico, Shrike your thoughts ?

Love seeing posts like this Chico as one of the big problems for writing is to get the Orbats right if you are trying to go back in time and get a realistic unit set up - i.e. versus just picking designations and such out of thin air
