As most are aware the U.S. modular HBCT is made of two CAB, an ARS, a FA BN, STB and BSB. The Brits might go to smaller brigades of around 4,000 made up of one armour BN, one armored infantry BN, one mechanized infantry BN, two light infantry BNs, and a reconnaissance regiment. Is this a truly combined arms brigade or are the Brits putting together a one size fits all brigade? Is this something the U.S. Army should consider - BCTs comprised of one armour BN, one mechanized BN, one Stryker infantry BN, one light infantry BN, and one ARS?
