We have about the equivalent of 10 maneuver divisions. We do the Brigade Combat Team thing now, so it doesn’t quite match up.

I’m visiting family near Fort Campbell & did annual training there until 2010. One of the 101st’s BCTs is usually coming or going. BCT kind of replaces TFs with task organizing mech hvy or armor hvy elements with attached units, OPCON units, etc.

IIRC, the Army had fourteen divisions at the end of Desert Storm then shrank to ten. Would like to learn more about the current RIF & which MOSs are most affected; my guess is it’s the combat ones.

FWIW, I was out for nearly ten yrs then came back as a WO & managed to stay until age 62.
