Jerry:
With an AC Army reduced from 785,000 to 480,000, and us struggling to man 5 Groups, I would not count on us enlarging to add another Group anytime soon.
We at SWCS are having to make massive changes in staffing and support structure to graduate a sufficient number of SF soldiers to meet the current and projected force requirements for the foreseeable future.
I wish we had 4 RC SFGs still, though.
Last time I saw our old Battalion Commander, LTC George B., it was '93 or '94 and he was the DCO of 12th SFGA, IIRC.
