We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Why am I dubious about this? Stuff like calling something a "brigade" when it has a complement of 80,000 doesn't help one's credibility, now, does it?

I'm still trying to figure out what the "update" was about. There seems to be a sentence fragment to the effect that the "program" was expanded, but that is all.
What's going on? Is somebody just trying to recycle old news to create a new scare? New news would be telling us all about the expansions to the program. Gimme some sinister plots to install a dictatorship or something, or some expansion to put the entire midwest under martial law at the first hanging chad. Something, anything to relieve the tedium.

Brigades are roughly 1,400 Soldiers. I don't even think 3rd ID HAS 80,000 troops.
Furthermore, I doubt they would take one of the most deployed units in the Army and remove them from the deployment cycle just so they can "take our guns."
This article is a sham.

Dunno about infantry divisions....last time I was in a division, it was 3rd AD in the Fulda Gap, back in the dark ages of the Cold War. We had about 15,000 in the division, but that includes combat service support, combat support and combat arms. V Corps had about 35,000 - 40,000 I would guess, based on what I remember...

And they are building special reeducation camps in Georgia to house the dissidents, they are spraying chemicals from civilian airliners that make the populace docile, and they will be confiscating all supplies of tinfoil to prevent you from making your hat.
OK.

This unit only has 8,000 i used to work for Nothcom, who knows where this 80,000 number came from maybe its all of the Army Norths numbers and Northcoms numbers put together.

82nd Division > 2nd Brigade > 325th Regiment > 3rd Battalion
We were one Infantry Battalion within a Regiment that was part of an overall Brigade. Our Battalion alone was 1,100 troops. A brigade can be as many as 5,000 but it depends heavily on what kind of troops we're talking about and what their primary mission is. Nevertheless, you don't 80,000 until at least Corps level, most likely Field Army level.

This article discusses the same thing but a bit more sensibly in my opinion.

Technically, we've been under a National Emergency since a miner's strike in the Eisenhower presidency. It was declared by executive order and never lifted, and many of the executive orders that come out reference that as their lawful grounds for the order.
Who panicked at all of Bush's counterinsurgency executive orders? Or Clintons? (I see hands on that one.)
