Bad ass Regular units,
3rd Infantry Div
24th Mechanized Infantry Div
101st Airborne Div [airmobile]
82nd Airborne Div
10th Mountain Div
4th Infantry Div

Most of the Light Infantry divisions that were around in the 80&#39;s were also pretty good. I think they all transferred to the reserve component though.

Thanks Cloney, exactly what I wanted to know.

But is that Army or Marines?

[Cloney]

Those are all US ARMY units, I don&#39;t know too much about the Marines.

I found out today that the 24th Mechanized Infantry fought with an Iraqi Republican Armored Div in Gulf War I and kicked the crap out of them. The 24th is a line unit and aren&#39;t considered "elite" per-se. I guess the Republican Guard units weren&#39;t too elite either. I&#39;m not saying that the 24th is a bad unit, as I&#39;m sure they are excellent. I am just pointing out that since the Iraqis were elite, they should have atleast put up a decent fight.

The 101st and 82nd are also excellent and are premier light infantry units. In a head to head battle with an equivalent unit I&#39;m sure they would kick ass and come back for seconds.

I don&#39;t know too much about the 3rd, I&#39;m sure we&#39;ll see in Gulf War II. However, having seen pictures of them training and having watched them train on the news, I have complete confidence that they will romp any Iraqi unit that tries to put up a fight. (That is if any Iraqi units decide to fight )

MFR stands for Marine Force Recon. They are the forward elements and special ops of the Marine Corps.

Might as well just say "18th Airborne Corps"

Oh - Thanks&#33; I&#39;m afraid there&#39;s a lot I don&#39;t know about US military in general, then again - I&#39;ve never been obsessed with the "military-thing" &#33;
