Why Would they read it? Tin foil caps are easier...

Besides, are so much fun too watch...

Why is this Infantry and not CSS if the mission were support or WMD? Oh,well. The Government will take care of it. [ROLL]

Its not just one or the other, its both. The idea is that a single BCT contains the bodies needed to perform the mission. Its already a self contained unit, with a single C2 structure in place. The unit is going through additional training to support this new role. And they are still trying to determine if the response team would be active or Guard. There are many that believe its more of a Guard type mission, however the AD side has the time and money to train up and respond quicker.
This is a new assignment for units that will rotate between CONUS units. Its an additional duty if you will, with out any increase in the size of the force, or restructuring.
Do you know of a CSS Brigade?

Do you know of a CSS Brigade?

Fair enough. I don't. My time on AD I was a lower EM and not privy to larger scale stuff.
