Concerning Active Tank Battalions, and based on what the refs have shown us thus far, it's taken the CORPS
4 months to deactivate the
1st Marine Tank Battalion and the
2nd MTB had
one of it's
four companies deactivated.
I feel at this pace and allowing for slight delays at the Army Depots to accept (The "
yard" might be full to some degree because of the
USA ABRAMs that are awaiting modernization to the
M1A2C (SEP 3) standard.) anymore tanks.
My instinct is telling me,
March 2021 for active duty deactivation, give or take a month.
Otherwise no official date has been set.
I still think we should use the given date. It strikes me odd that it appears they're in a hurry to deactivate the "
active" units but then "
drag their feet" on the reserve component another year.
Again there is discussion within the CORPS and outside of it to save the 4th Tank Battalion.
I'd prefer the "
wait and see attitude" and just simply make
one change instead of
two or more in the game.
And there's still the
potential things could change after the November elections as well.
I know it's still going to happen, until I submit my last Patch Submission, but I'm just really tired of "
chasing dates" and last years
ABRAMS rework is coming to mind right now. So on this one my heads really at what I expressed in the
previous two sentences above.

Pat
