It looks like that chart is from 1986/87 and it also lists the Berlin Bde as 199thComment

It makes me wonder. There is nothing in the lineage of either bde that shows that actually happening though. I wonder if there wasnt a plan to reflag the Berlin Bde because the bde had no combat history something similar to the School Bde/6th ADA Bde being reflagged to 30th ADA Bde and it didnt happen because the cold war ended. maybe it would have happened if the bde had transformed to AOE configurationOriginally posted by Louied View PostComment

Chief of Staff Army Total Army Analysis 1992 Force Program Decision Briefing
Apparently the Army did one of these "Program Objective Memorandum" biennially for review by the Office of SECDEF.
Again the above document should be read in conjunction with this:
Chapters 1 & 2Comment

Any thoughts on why V Corps is getting two additional ACRsComment

There are also the annual historical summaries, at https://history.army.mil/html/booksh...ct/dahsum.htmlI love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...Comment

I have a hard copy of this, or an updated version, around here somewhere....Originally posted by Louied View PostI love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Chico, please I hope you do! I have the researcher at the Ridgeway Library looking for a 1989-90 version. I'm also looking for an updated, again for 1989-90, force allocation chart.Originally posted by chico20854 View PostComment

Not sure, I could understand one additional. The expectation that the Blackhorse might not be in the best of shape after the initial Soviet thrust thru Fulda. As for two, no idea.Originally posted by Louied View Post
Also interesting is the 199th uses the infantry Bde symbol and not mech Bde. Another is Indiana was scheduled to get an SF aviation battalion.Comment

Didnt the Berlin Bde have three Inf Bns scaled as Air Assault J-Series Inf but each with a Coys worth of M-113s IIRC the Tank Coy jumped from 14 to 22 around 1989.Originally posted by shrike6 View PostComment

So,
Has anyone ever done a comparison of the 1989 NATO and PACT forces to their in-game assignments and how does it compare to this info at the army's historical website archiveComment

Ok, I found it in the deep archives... the crawl space. The full poster (effective date: October 1990) is about 3 feet wide and 2 feet long, so I had to piece it together from multiple scans on my dinky home printer/scanner. It's here and while it isn't pretty it is complete.Originally posted by Louied View Post
When I get back to the office and a full-sheet scanner I'll get a nicer version done, including the notes on the back.

Thanks Chico! Keep it coming! Does that chart also have the Brigades on the back
I recently bought this book and it is excellent ....
The author served in 3 ACR, I was told by him that the 3 ACR's POMCUS stock was in Kaiserslautern at least until 1984, which jives with the Force Allocation chart showing 3 ACR being CAPSTONED to V Corps.
I also found this, one page paper, unknown date, regarding POMCUS. I am figuring late 1980's.....Chico, Shrike your thoughtsComment

Love seeing posts like this Chico as one of the big problems for writing is to get the Orbats right if you are trying to go back in time and get a realistic unit set up - i.e. versus just picking designations and such out of thin airComment
