Geiselman > 1st Armored Division > 2nd Brigade > 3rd Brigade > 4th Brigade > 3rd Armored Division > 1st Brigade > 2nd Brigade > 3rd Brigade > 4th Brigade You sure about these designations? Normally the 'numbered' manuever brigades are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd - there is no "4th" as such. The 'other' brigade-size elements are usually Aviation Brigade, Divarty, and Discom (no numbers). > 1st Cavalry Division 1st Cav Div deployed with the 2nd Arm Div's 1st Brigade as it's third brigade (1st Cav has two active brigades and the 155th Arm Bde, Mississippi NG - not yet deployed). > 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division > 3rd Brigade Again, another double check. I have not heard of any of the 3rd Herd from Wurzburg, Germany being deployed. Its 3rd Brigade, out of Ashafenburg, Germany, was its weakest brigade. (But, I could be wrong). > 24th Mechanized Infantry Division > 197th Infantry Brigade The 24th deployed with the the 197th Mech Brigade (Separate) as its 3rd brigade (24th's third brigade is the 48th Inf Bde, Georgia NG - not yet deployed) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's paper talked about a "Light Corps" and a "Heavy Corps": XVIII Airborne Corps [Light] 82nd Airborne Div 101st Airmobile Div 24th Mech Div 3rd Arm Cav Rgt 6th Division (French) [can anyone confirm that the French have an entire division deployed? Armor? Mech? Light?] VII Corps [Heavy] 1st Arm Div 2nd Arm Div 1st Mech Div 2nd Arm Cav Rgt 1st Arm Div (British) [I knew the British 7th Arm Brigade (Desert Rats) was deployed - have the British deployed an entire Armor Division?] Marine Expeditionary Force 1 Mar Div 2 Mar Div -------------------------------------------------------------------------- mike schmitt
