After listening to Du Minsheng's story, Su Qiuyue nodded silently.

The word "teacher changed to brigade" was really familiar to him.

Before he was reborn, he had seen such nouns on various news media many times.

After coming to this world, he has been thinking deeply about this issue.

Speaking of this word, it is generally believed that it is the first of the United States.

The process of division transformation in the army that lasted for ten years also mostly referred to the idea of ​​the American division transformation in the brigade.

But in fact, the first country to propose the transformation of division into brigades was the northern neighbor.

But their real implementation is a little later than that of the United States.

It was not until two cruel chariot battles that the northern neighbors saw the drawbacks in their army.

This disadvantage is: the traditional "military division battalion" has too many command levels and is no longer suitable for the development of the current era.

Therefore, the northern neighbors quickly carried out the "department-to-brigade" reform to form a military battalion-level organization.

They changed from "Military Division Battalion" to "Military Battalion", and at least one level was reduced in the middle.

Such drastic reforms will be more conducive to the army's simplification of military affairs and the improvement of its combat effectiveness.

As another global military power, the US's "department-to-brigade" was officially implemented after the Gulf War.

After the United States made such reforms, many countries naturally followed suit.

Indeed, in future wars, the flexibility of the army is a very critical factor.

It is necessary to reduce the command level accordingly, form a battle group of brigade battalions, and form a combat brigade module to adapt to future local wars.

Especially for the very difficult urban street fighting, the original structure is even more procrastinating and bloated.

In fact, before the "department was transformed into brigade", as early as the 1950s, the United States had abolished the regiment-level organization.

However, unlike the northern neighbors, even though the United States has vigorously carried out "department transformation and brigade" for a period of time, it has never given up the division-level system.

In Su Qiuyue's memory, when it entered the second decade of the 21st century, the United States even stopped the division and brigade.

One of the very important reasons for this is that the establishment of the "department to brigade" also has its limitations.

The division, in traditional war theory, is defined as the smallest battle unit.

Simply put, a division must be able to undertake a small battle independently.

Including fire support and logistics services, both must be left out.

Therefore, there will be a large number of service troops in a division. w.

After the division was transformed into a brigade, the biggest difference from before was that the various service forces were organized into larger professional service support units, which were directly controlled and dispatched by the army level.

The brigade headquarters protects the combat troops as much as possible.

If logistics or long-range fire support is required during the war, the military headquarters will be directly called, and the military headquarters will flexibly allocate and command according to the needs of battlefield operations.

Such institutional ratios are flexible enough, but their disadvantages are also quite large.

The most prominent point is that it is not suitable for large-scale wars.

Under the confrontation between strength and weakness, the scientific establishment of the division to the brigade looked very beautiful.

But once the strength of the two sides of the war is equal and fierce confrontation breaks out on a battlefield, the combat power of a brigade is useless at all.

Especially if war breaks out between powerful countries, the existence of a division will be much more intimidating than a brigade.

As for the army, it is still the most basic and powerful combat regiment of this era.

In the previous life, the Americans were the first to discover the disadvantages of "department to brigade".

Next, the northern neighbors.

Subsequently, both of these two military powers stopped the progress of the "department-to-brigade" in the domestic army.

Similarly, our army has taken some detours in the process of "transition to brigade".

Now the military region leaders have proposed to speed up the "department transformation into brigades". It seems that they want to implement this military reform idea to the end.

But the experience of previous lives tells me that such ideas are not the best.

It is certainly true that the division is transformed into a brigade in a general direction, but whether to retain a small number of division-level army combat units is questionable.
