 PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Autumn 1996
Army leaders and defense intellectuals alike contend that the National Guard divisions are not needed for the national military strategy.
The best the Army has been able to do for E-Brigades is to connect ten of them loosely to each of its active divisions in a mentorship mode, but without real operational missions and with no intention of using these brigades in a future war.
