But of Course. 10th Mountain is again a full Division. The Rangers 
are a force to be reckoned with as they have now become experts at 
not only airport seizure, but also space port seizure with all of the 
associated toxic and radiological hazards associated with Space Port 
Operations. Then there are units with history like the 1st Infantry 
Division (Big Red One), 1st Armoured, etc. Units with history like 
the 82nd and 101st Airborne have expanded to be fearsome units with a 
far greater degree of mobility due to a high proportion of powered 
armour and closely attached strategic mobility assets.

I suspect that with the tribal nature of the British Military, 
"American" units would retain much of their history and tradition. 
Likely a great deal more than had they remained American alone. 
Naturally, all that I have stated needs approval by St. John, but I 
think he'd like it.
