Good post Abbott, thats about the thinking I came up with after going through these posts.

Does anyone know where vehicles would be stored for later use Like when a unit goes overseas and leaves it heavy equipment behind, where doe that equipment go to be stored Or all the surplus vehicles that are no longer in use, where are those stored

Lot of the equipment of the Division state side was used to help bring incoming National Guard and Reserve up to strength. What was left over after that was used to help train said units and used after that to train next upcoming units and given to them...and so on...Some of the units according to the Vehicle guide still had M60 and M113 units. So the first National Guard Divisions and Round-Out units I am sure would be trained on the M1 and M2, with the round-out rather than round-out brigade taking their M60 and M113 as one of many option when the game was published.

In fact, shortly after the game was release many of the Round-out heavy brigade were in various stages of conversion, while units like the 197th Mechanized Brigade later reflagged the 3-24th Mechanized and later the 3-3rd Brigade still had M113 in their Infantry Battalions at the time they deployed to the middle east to bring the 24th Mechanized up to full strength. Once in Saudi the Brigade equipment was completely updated to more modern system.

There is article in one of the threads about why the Round-out Brigades didn't make it to battle and how some they had more training at the same time when some NG units were undergoing the same conversion training and was a mute point why the NG units weren't performing as well as their counterparts in the 197th Brigade.
