Britain comes to the defense of embattled Poland...
Hmmm, why does that ring a bell?

I think they are doing that to every division to save money and from what I hear the brigades that are left just have skeleton crews. They are doing the old National Guard trick of of pulling from 3 units to form one unit that can be deployed. So basicly a Division is really only a Brigade with a bunch of extra senior officers fighting over slots.

He has cut the 101st Airborne Division from 4 Brigades to 3.Which brigade got cut? When did that happen?
Fort Campbell's website for the 101st still shows 4 Brigades, plus Aviation.

"The manoeuvres come as the Kremlin is accused of continuing to stoke the conflict in Ukraine by shelling across the border and increasing the flow of weapons and supplies to Moscow-backed separatists."
Foul. Those artillery positions and supply lines should be hit from the air.

I guess I won’t be seeing any tanks when I visit the London military museums next month.
Oh well, maybe they’ll leave some stuff there for me.

4th BCT cut in April. 82nd also lost 4 BCT. And 1st Cav lost ? BCT. 7 more BCT's to be cut. Army Times was my source.
Just sad to see what this skinny Somalian socialist slug is doing to us....

Thanks for the info... The 101st ABN’s website has yet to be updated it would seem.
