It's had it's strong points, to be sure.

That's verging on something really close to brigade districts, except the British don't brigade the battalions together tactically.

I think a plan with brigade districts - something closer to the old German divisional districts, instead of the British regimental system - would be a better option for the US if you want to go with regional recruiting and staying with a unit for an entire career.
