US Army is making 7th ID part of the ground force designated for the Pacific (25th ID is in play too)...

 

I'm on the outside looking in but it appears that the US Army is taking hardcore changes to make itself the decisive ground force in the Pacific.

Note that I did not say Korea, but the Pacific.

The 2nd ID (which is headed toward being understrength) is still tasked with the fight in Korea, but seems to be off the table for other areas.

The same definitely can't be said for the 25th ID which was the first Army unit to make a full throated swing there.  Now we can the 7th ID to the mix.

So what does that leave us with?

25th and 7th IDs dedicated to a potential fight with China (biased toward that fight?), 2nd ID tasked with Korea and 11th Airborne taking on the arctic fight.

These bastards are out Marining the Marine Corps.

The Army can tailor forces to regional fights.  The Marine Corps must be ready to swing to any fight in any region at anytime.

Force Design was a huge mistake.

The Army got started late but ya got to give the fuckers credit. Once they took a beat and a heading they're on track.
