"Hello, we need to integrate French gear from the 1980s with American gear from the 1940s. To keep it interesting, there's some shit from the 1960s as well. Have fun lol"

From a video on what the planned and canceled Striker Cavalry Regiments would have looked like: one maintenance (ohrange) troop has more enlisted than all of the actual fighting units (blue).

The HQ troop is an exception, but their 154 enlisted were probably split 50/50 for writing obituaries after helo crashes and wrangling drunk maintenance lads.
