What divisions/formations would be in Black Sea?

[Mord]

I was wondering what divisions/formations would be found in Black Sea for the Americans, Russians and Ukrainians? I didn't see anything in the PDF about it. Kinda sounded like they wanted it to be abstract.

 

A list would be great for scenario designers and modders to give us all an idea of what would be viable and realistic in this setting.

For the US Army:

 

Armored Formations:

 

1 CAV (1st, 2nd, 3rd ABCTs)

 

Based out of Texas, but it has represented a large number of the US rotational deployments to Europe.  Note: Uses Cavalry designations vs standard (Regiments, Squadrons, Troops vs Brigades, Battalions, Companies)

 

3 ID (1st, 3rd ABCT)

 

Based out of Georgia.  Troops have made Baltic deployments before

 

1 ID (1st, 2nd ABCTs)

 

Based out of Kansas.  Less likely but historically linked to European deployments.  

 

Other ABCTs include 1st Armored (2nd and 4th ABCT), and 4th ID (3rd ABCT).  

 

SBCTs:

 

2 CR: Based out of Germany.  Is separate brigade, uses Cav designations

 

3 CR: Based out of Texas.  Also separate brigade using Cav designations.- 

 

Other SBCTs are in 2 ID, and 25 ID, however they're located on the US pacific coast or Hawaii/Alaska.  Doubtful for a Ukrainian conflict.

 

IBCTs:

 

173rd IBCT

 

Based out of Italy.  Independant Airborne Brigade. 

 

You can toss in some of the other IBCTs from 82nd, 101st, and 10th Mountain, but given the armored high intensity conflict nature of CMBS, dismounted infantry formations are not as likely to be as high of a priority for deployment minus the 173rd which is practically next door.

Chris made a detailed OOB for Black Sea. As further modules get released more info on that OOB will probably be revealed.

3-69 AR is the unit featured in the American campaign.
