Odierno: Only Two US Army Brigades are Combat Ready

[surgicalcric]

It was actually two Regiments not brigades that are ready:

75th and 1st SF

I remember when not being "green" across the board on your unit manning report was enough to get a battalion commander cashiered. I guess things have changed.

On that note and based on your reference Sir that with all but two brigades ready for combat I would think the axe would fall on the neck of the CoS. But how could it be Odierno's fault? After all, he knows nothing about combat.

Maybe I missed it. Did the article say which two brigades are combat-ready?

No, but a basic search of online copies of post newspapers across the country should help the pieces fall in place. That, and an open ear at any bar just outside the gates. Open source is too easy.

I think he is full of shit. 82nd has reassumed DRB (or GRF), so that's one Bde. This is politics to blame sequestration and the "shutdown" for a loss of readiness.

No, that's two Groups in the same Regiment

I thought about that and while you're probably right it is still BS and he still needs to go. It is sad when someone makes a statement so ridiculous that the only redeeming outcome is the possibility he's lying.

It is a bucket of fail.
