It seems like it ought to mean something to me. What exactly are the implications of such a reconfiguration? I'm not sure I know the difference between one Army unit and another. I was in the Marines.

The Armored Cavalry Regiments were unique. They were combined arms mini-divisions that were often given divison-sized missions. The 3 line squadrons had mixed tank/scout troops, tank companies and howitzer batteries. Many considered them the elite of the armored force. For decades 11th and 2nd ACRs manned the ramparts of the frontier of freedom in Europe.
