The army should be a minimum of 5 divisions bigger (100,000 troops + tail).
If we had about a 775,000 man army with 18 divisions, and we have a 450,000 man army with 10 divisions, then the math says tooth + tail should be in the neighborhood of 650,000 troops.
How to keep the tail from consuming the teeth, so to speak? Our military is so bureaucratic.
