Yes, I understood that. I've comment on other remarks you've made, and yet you're answering something I'm not talking about. You raised some points about the size of a MEF that I think aren't correct. Are you sure? I'm not trying to fuss with you. A Corp in Army terms is a huge force.

I think you must have me confused with another poster.

"A Corp[s] in Army terms is a huge force."

III Corps is composed of two active divisions (1st Cavalry and 4th Infantry), one reserve division (49th Armored .. Texas Lone Star), 13th Corps Support Command (over a brigade in size), and the 6th AirCav .. well over 60,000 troops.

From my days as a Gator Sailor and working with the III MEF out of Okinawa. Not including support personnel a MEF is between 1200-1500 Marines. My memory may be faulty but I don't think so.
