I created graphics of current @USArmy divisions and the future WAYPOINT 2028 division.

First up the current and future light division. The @10MTNDIV (10th Mountain) will likely be the first division to be reorganized like this.

1/n

Next the @82ndABNDiv and @101stAASLTDIV, which are currently organized like light divisions. Both divisions will slightly differ from standard light divisions under WAYPOINT 2028.

2/n

Current heavy division and future heavy division organization - my guess is that the @FightingFirst will receive a Stryker brigade from the @4thInfDiv, and the 4th Infantry will receive an armored brigade from the @1stCavalryDiv, which in turn will gobble up the @3dUSCAV.

3/n

This would give III Corps three heavy WAYPOINT 2028 divisions, with the @1stArmoredDiv becoming the army's Penetration Division, meant for crossing rivers in Eastern Europe.

4/n

This leaves the @2INFDIV, @3rd_Infantry, @11thAirborneDiv and @25thID:

• 2nd Infantry - in South Korea, no idea what will become of its two Stryker brigades in Washington
• 3rd Infantry - will likely be a heavy division with Pennsylvania's National Guard Stryker brigade

5/n

• 11th Airborne - tasked with defending Alaska, so it will receive a unique organization with airborne and infantry brigades
• 25th Infantry - based in Hawaii, it will be a light division with probably an attached National Guard infantry brigade

6/n

Speaking of @NationalGuard - it will be interesting to see how the Guard's current eight infantry divisions (28th, 29th, 34th, 35th, 36th, 38th, 40th, 42nd) with their 27 brigades (20 infantry, 5 armored, 2 Stryker) will be formed into coherent divisions.

7/n

The US Army is clearly moving away from counter-insurgency to peer-level conflict with this reorganization. Most clearly with the massive Penetration Division... which should be based in Poland, because it is designed to fight there.

8/n

I like this reorganization. Especially the Protection Brigades (revamped Maneuver Enhancement Brigades). I only have serious doubts about cutting separate Stryker brigades.
Stryker brigades with wheeled, armored Dragoon Strykers with 30mm chain guns are an excellent

9/n

capability that allows commanders to quickly project protected firepower across vast territories. I hope the @2dCavalryRegt of @USArmyEURAF remains untouched by WAYPOINT 2028. I also would prefer @3dUSCAV to remain independent and 1st Cavalry to become a second Penetration

10/n

Division.
Last but not least - the @USMC reorganization is clearly meant to fight and defeat China in the Western Pacific, while the US Army's reorganization is clearly meant to fight and defeat russia in the Eastern Poland.
