Avn brigade is, at least the apache troops.

Wondering about the heavy assets though. Just seems peculiar that we seem to be running more mechanized infantry than heavy armor.

Maybe we aren't being told everything. We certainly have everybody focused on the thrust from the south. There is a lot of territoy west and north plus the captured air bases to the west that will probably be put to some useful purpose. Would not be surprised if while all eyes are focused to the south a nasty surprise pops up from behind!

I believe the current armored forces available amount to:

5 US Army tank battalions - @ 300 tanks at max. strength

Four of these were organic to the 3ID, and I think the other is a battalion from 1st Armored Div.

1 squadron (3/7th Cavalry) - somewhere between 9 and 20 tanks

3 US Marine tank battalions - @ 180 tanks at max strength

Between 2 and 3 British tank battalions - @ 120 Challengers

There are the following mechanized infantry units -

5 US Army battalions organic to 3ID. There is maybe one in theater from 1st Armored

From 14 to 18 US Marine infantry battalions, most of which have some LAV or LVT vehicles.

2-3 British mechanized infantry battalions
