Default Re: Iraq errors report

A reconnaissance platoon with six scout vehicles (class 32 ones, like unit 290) should be added
Availability date 1/1960-4/2003

A mechanized versions of the support weapons platoon should be added, composed by:
1) Two APCs
2) 2 MGs sections
3) 3 60mm mortars
Availability date 1/1975-4/2003

Formation 166: SPAA Batallion
Should have its number of units cut back to nine from the current twelve.
Also final availability date should be restricted to 4/2003


Formation 305: Combat Sup't Co
It looks like could be reorganized in a more rational manner
1)Unit 350 in slot 1
2)Formation 1286 in slot 2
3)Formation 1186 in slot 3
4)Formation 1186 in slot 4
Also final availability date should be restricted to 4/2003

Two formations that should be deleted
Formation 310: Bn Weapons Co
Formation 311: Bn Weapons Co
Properly configured formations 290-291-292 make them redundant
