Thanks, Barry. Thanks a lot.
I seem to remember a day when C-2 was a minimum standard of readiness (and being less than C-1 was cause for some "help" for a commander).
But I guess C-4 is now the minimum standard. Everybody gets a trophy for participation, even in FORSTAT/SORTS/GSORTS (depending upon your age)

I would like to know the sources of this information....I may be an old bastard, but in my day SORTS reporting was CLASSIFIED information!

It's been this way for years. Sequestration made it even worse.
The military in this nation has been punished, cut, feminized, labled rapists for cheap political gain, and forced to "celebrate" sodomy and homosexuality.
50% of all cuts had to be paid out by the military, which is only 15% of all spending.

Eight years of a Commander-In-Chief who didn't even try to *hide* his contempt for the Armed Forces.So,there's no way this should be a surprise.

Yeah that’s right tell our enemies how unprepared we are for them...

But the Army still has $$$ to send Brigade sized units on boondoggle “training exercises” with South Africa set up by Obama’s diplomats.

I am not certain I believe that three BCTs are fully ready.

We had 92 Army divisions during World War II and a division has three brigades. That’s not counting the Marines. NINETY TWO. From a much smaller country than now.

No wonder that Barry was talking like a "war hawk" with three weeks left as a "Lame Duck" !

It was more than a year after Pearl Harbor before the US Army was really combat ready (El Guettar, March 1943). The Marines did better- they got up to combat standards in about 6 months.
So by those standards 30 days doesn’t look too bad.

I hope a full compendium of the damages Obama, Clinton, Holder, Lynch, Brennan, Lerner, et all inflicted on us is widely published soon.

Thanks to you, I will have USR nightmares tonight. I retired in 2013 and it took 18 months for the nightmares to stop. Next you will bring up QTB’s

Wiki: “The infantry brigade combat team, as of 2014, contains 4,413 soldiers and is organized around three battalions of infantry. Each type of brigade (light infantry, air assault, or airborne) has the same basic organization. Each infantry brigade is capable of air assault operations, whether or not it is officially designated as an air assault brigade. Also, most units typically maneuver in HMMWVs when deployed and operate as “motorized infantry” to facilitate speed of movement.
“The infantry brigade combat team consists of seven battalions: one cavalry (RSTA), one brigade support, one engineer, three infantry and one field artillery.”
So we have only 13,000 odd soldiers capable of fighting ... both Putin and Xi are smiling.
