No, I don't thing so--'cuz the Army won't have to be organized to deploy by ship. I think it will look quite a bit different than the Marines because of the requirement that these 'Brigade Teams' have to fight the Sustained Battle...

What I think they're talking about is what the National Guard is already doing - Separate Infantry Brigades and Separate Armor Brigades. I'm in the 48th enhanced Mechanized Separate Infantry Brigade, Georgia ARNG. We basically have a division, divided by three.

We have three maneuver battalions (two mech infantry, one armor), organic artillery and engineer battalions, and some limited MP, MI, and other ash and trash. The biggest difference is that we don't have a Division Support Command - we only have one Support Battalion. Also, we don't have a DIVARTY or organic aviation assets.

The concept seems to work pretty well -- but then again, what do I know? I'm a dumb-*ss grunt. :D
