So they never had any infantry in these divisions? Hmmm.

Here is a reference to the meaning of the symbols:

HyperWar: Map Symbols

"." Squad
".." Section
"..." Platoon
"I" Company
"II" Battilion or Squadron
"III" Regiment or Air Group
"X" Brigade
"XX" Division or Wing

There are some other symbols on the Iraq maps, so I'll be looking for more references. ALso, I have zero working knowledge of our various units hardware and troop strength, so can't interpret the maps well. But the maps beat the tar out of trying to interpret a text description!

I think the significance is that the "Naked X inside" means only infantry. The armored stuff may be, but isn't necessarily, accompanied by infantry. I see one of our units having a combination of infantry and Air Assault (close air support, Apache probably).

Do you see the 101st north of Med2? Holy sh!t. They were in the same (general) location yesterday.

Now I have developed a habit of chacking for new maps . . . LOL!
