Yes it seems like the last thing you want to do in this environment is
quash
unit identity, culture and history. Especially since it seems that the
battles are fought by smaller forces (like bn task forces). Why
amalgamate
units? I can see standardizing weapons, organization etc, But if the NAC
is
going to be run by the brits, it seems that they already have a very
firm
understanding of keeping cultural identities seperate within army units
(heck as a matter of fact, much more than the US des.)
