That additional call-up is what I'm pointing you towards. These are not "call-ups", these are seasoned active duty heavy brigades that are currently in re-fit. We have lost three of our soldiers, and one of our marines to join units that will re-deploy early. In support terms, the school house is critical short while supporting the force. In comparison, when I was a green-suiter here, we had 36 instructors,(32 soldiers, 2 marines, 1 British, 1 Canadian). Now, we have 16 soldiers, 1 marine, and 5 DA-contract-Instructors.

The tip of the spear is on the ground with "their" equipment. To complete the circuit, counter battery artillery, and artillery are on the ground as well.

There are three things the world does not and will not know which is kept US secret policy.

Where are the "Seawolfs and the Ohios"?

Who can issue them the orders?

What really happened to the "Kursk"?

As far as a heavy fight goes, we have had the opportunity to disassemble just about every version of equipment ever produced from Russia, and figure out what takes to make it stop.

As far as training goes, I have worked with Muslim armies, and they truly fail to comprehend the necessity of operations, and maintenance. The US has been training for a few years in the desert, and has a well seasoned DOD that has yet to be fully evaluated on the battlefield. I honestly hope the day of reckoning never comes, because the words of the Japanese still hold true, and the "Sleeping Giant" can be awoken easily enough.

I don't foresee a world at war, I foresee a US three echelon battle drill. The CAV will screen, the heavy armor divisions will destroy from afar, and the artillery will support. Counter battery will eliminate entire grid squares from the face of the earth, and the dreaded A-10s will wreak havoc on anything that moves. The Coalition will defend the rear guard, and the UN can take over 6 days, 5 hours, and 43 minutes after wards. The EU can run the blockade, and dilly out the sanctions. Once Iran is de-horned, the rest of that part of the world will be quite for a few years, and we all can get back to worrying about Korea.
