If you're talking about 3-73, they stood up as an MPF BN. It was designed to provide direct fire support to the IBCTs, while consolidating the maintenance/training for the M10s in one place. Division troops, but not division R&S. I'm tracking all the BCTs' cav sqdns cased colors last year

FWIW, no division has had DIVCAV since the BCT reorganization in the 00s. I think this is the 82nd deactivating the m10 booker battalion. 1CD tested DIVCAV out a few years ago. It was less than successful, partly b/c it was built out of hide from the ABCT CAV SQDNs.

The self-prescribed antibiotics are the most concerning thing here. Do you want antibiotic resistant superbugs? This is how you get antibiotic resistant superbugs

You may not be able to win solely with artillery, but a lack of shells and guns might just lose the war for you:

And maybe recency bias, but Shohei Ohtani

Bo Jackson is absolutely one of the greatest all around athletes, but I wouldn't put him as one of greatest winners.

I don't understand how you go from "proven design we need to modify a little" to "whoops, need to throw it all out and start over" without grossly mismanaging or changing requirements mid-design.

Similarly, I think it's funny that Jason Isaacs is a captain in Fury (age 51) when he was also a captain in 2001's Black Hawk Down (age 38). Not impossible for WWII, but definitely unlikely for an infantry company commander

"Haunting" would imply a demon,* so definitely unlikely attached to a sacramental

My favorite point was "Missileers have low morale, no potential for senior leadership, and the rest of the Air Force doesn't like them, so why not give our problem children to the Army?"

How is KD to the already record-setting Warriors #2? They won titles before he got there, and won after he left.

Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors, beating the Warriors and ending their KD era, should be on there somewhere.

You can get Michelin tires at many fine tire outlets across Alabama, not sure why this a mark of culture.

The kids of 1955 wanted to hear Johnny B Goode (1958). The kids of 1995 wanted "Freak on a Leash" (1998)

I don't see how you create "stability" for the DIB, but also make it easier to reprogram funds within the portfolio. I'm no expert but saying "Here's a big multi year order for drones (but we can switch to your competitor if we feel like it)" doesn't sound stable to me.
