    Could you combine the two into a Combat Control and Support Brigade or is there no need to do such a thing?

    The cav squadron you propose is not the old division cav squadron, but the corps BfSB?

    Brigades directly subordinate to the Corps seems to be a no-go because of span of control. So, how does one flatten C2 between the BCTs and Corps?

    Others have written that corps and division are combined - is this an UEx? Basically, a smaller corps?

    In theory how is this suppose to look?
    Could a C2 Bde and a Sus Bde be combined. Sure, but I would never recommend it. Missions, roles and functions are in no way close enough together.

    No, I AM proposing a "new: DIV CAV to replace the missing ones at the division and corps echelons. The BFSB was/is a terrible waste of resources that will never be able to do anything close to what a DIV/Corps CDR needs them to do in terms of fighting for information.
