[edit] V Corps?

Why is V Corps being eliminated?

And why is United States Army Europe and United States Army Korea in bold?

[edit] 172nd Stryker BCT

Has anyone noticed that no reports seem to indicate the future whereabouts and/or designation of the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team? Does anyone know whether the Army plans to phase this unit out?--SOCL 18:14, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

- I'm not sure. I've heard nothing about them phasing it out. In fact, I think its a model for what they want the rest of the Army to look like. Definately confusing. --Hal06 22:55, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

On a follow-up, I found out that 172nd Stryker will be reflagged as 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division upon return from deployment in Iraq, hence why it is no included anywhere.--SOCL 01:29, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Since the announcement in early 2006, the plan went from 43 active brigades and 34 NG brigades to 42 active brigades and 28 NG brigades. Does anyone know which brigades were cut?

Many NG divisions were completely cut out and reflagged as training commands. For instance, 7th Infantry Division at Fort Carson has been reflagged Training Support Division West, presumably carrying no true brigade-type units in the same way most training support units usually do not.--SOCL 02:36, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number of Tanks

In positioning-end state, it says

21 armored brigades (Total: 1,160 of both M1 Tanks and M2 Bradleys; 600 M3 Scout vehicles)

Does this mean 1160 M1s and M2s each or 1160 M1s and M2s combined ?Xerex 15:01, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

and those numbers dont even make sense. According to the article each brigade will have 56 M1's and 56 M2s and 30 M3's multiply be 21 and you get 1176 M1's 1176 M2s and 630 M3'sXerex 03:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1st ID

As part of the army transofrming, 4 BDE of 1 ID will not be an armored BDE. It is a light infantry brigade as soon by the designation 4 IBCT, 1 ID. www.riley.army.mil

[edit] Gobbledygook

This entire article, but particularly the "Culture Training and Readiness" section is of the worst kind of New Army jargon. This is an encyclopedia for world-wide public use, not an article in a military journal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.238.92.21 (talk) 07:14, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
