Hi 'M,
You know, I get confused by all that unit jargon too! For those of us who were never in the military it does get very confusing, especially when reading a book about WWII. For me all that is rather"extra", as I am more interested in individual characters stories, but I do understand how important it is to people who served with or had family members in specific units.
BTW...I watched THC today also. I have a copy of "Rolling Thunder" on DVD if you ever wish to make a copy for yourself. You gotta feel for the poor guys who had the job of cleaning and repainting the insides of tanks after their buddies had been killed in them...don't know if I could do that.
