Many thanks for this additional info my friend. Also not to disagree, but, the US military TO did have many Brigades--and more than I too had thought. For instance--most Brigades were Armored Brigades, such as some used in the Battle of the Bulge. Chreiton Abrams led one that was part of Pattons Army into Bastogne. The Army also had Cavalry Brigades (Mot) and Para Brigades--but I just dont know much on them myself.

Now here is a real shocker--at least to me. Did you know that the American military had and used more Brigades than the German military? I recently read that somewhere (I think I also read about it in a new book I have that was writtten by a German soldier) and I heard it discussed on a radio program-of all places.
