From: jmc@DEC-Lite.Stanford.EDU (John McCarthy) It seems from the papers that Marine combat reserve units were used in Desert Storm and Army reserve units were not, because they were found to be unready. Some commentators claimed that the Army trouble was with the higher level officers. Does anyone know what level of Marine units were used - battalion or higher? What is the reason for the difference?
