replies: text: I found this page from the Theordore Roosevelt Association with a section titled "What's in a name?"  It's still a little confusing, but both (and all) of the articles on Wiki are correct in their naming system as far as the legacy of the Roosevelt family is concerned.

message: From this week's Army Times:
XVIII Airborne Corps to lose 82nd, 101st
By Matthew Cox
Staff writer
*Within two years, the XVIII Airborne Corps will no longer have the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions under its wing.
*In fact, the Fort Bragg, N.C., based corps is giving up command of all its traditional divisions to become one of three specialized headquarters designated to command combat deployments to war zones like Iraq and Afghanistan.
 
*The XVIII already gave up command of the 3rd Infantry Division at Fort Stewart, Ga., on Oct. 1 and is slated to give up control over the 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, N.Y., next year. It will let go of the 82nd and 101st by next year.
*The mission of XVIII Airborne Corps will change in that it will focus more on its primary warfighting mission,” said Lt. Gen. John R. Vines, commander of the XVIII Airborne Corps.
*The change is part of Forces Command’s Transformation Command and Control Plan, an effort to help the XVIII, along with I Corps at Fort Lewis, Wash., and III Corps at Fort Hood, Texas, fit into the Army’s new modular brigade structure.
*Now, these corps headquarters will be on a rotation to become the headquarters element of a deploying task force of units and not have to worry about managing units at home base.
*The divisions and their brigade combat teams will report to Forces Command, which is moving to Fort Bragg around 2010.
*The Associated Press contributed to this report.

message: Is there a guide on military terms, specifically on capitalization?  The use of capitals is all over the place in many articles, and I'd like to get a feel for this before making changes.  I know the US military is now using Soldier, Sailor, Airman and Marine.  --Gadget850 ( Ed) 13:30, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Joint Publication 1-02 Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms is the closest you will come to a single source on language. Also, you need to look at the Unit Histor pages on the US Army Center for Military History website, and the US Army Institute of heraldry website. Both links are on the US Army page, and on the US Military History Project page. - SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 16:43, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi. I had a solid look at Utah Army National Guard. I have hidden significant chunks of that article which I think should be in an over-riding "state-based national guard" article. This is in the interest of improving the article...
Note, a majority of the people who want the full detail, will be prepared to read several articles to get it. Most of them, will read almost every one of these state-based national guard articles - so wouldn't making them read the same sentence 53 times be fairly annoying?
Everything I've hidden between  marks, should go somewhere else, which every one of these articles can link to.
No, I'm not American but I'm an ex-reservist from Australia. I have specifically stayed away from Australian millitary articles based on WP:BIO - too involved to do it impersonally.Garrie 05:34, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.  B2T2 21:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I have recently seen some removals of links on American Revolutionary units and battles by Thadius claiming that the links were spam. Every external links to http://www.myrevolutionarywar.com were removed. This link was used since Wright's book "The Continental Army" that is available at the Center for military history does not have the lineage section digitalized. Some articles of concern are 6th South Carolina Regiment, 1st Maryland Regiment, etc. The question is - Is the link Spam?--Oldwildbill 22:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it because most of the site links to Ancestry.com pages, for which you have to pay after a while?  I would still think the information is valuable, even if you have to pay to get it.

message: Between now and 2008, the Armor Center is moving from Fort Knox to Fort Benning, and will be consolidated with the Infantry Center to form the new US Army Maneuver Center. The two schools will remain separate - but will share Fort Benning - and Fort Benning will gain new cantonment areas to replace those lost at Fort Knox. The Institute of heraldry is designing a new patch for the maneuver Center, which will be the new garrison for Fort Benning as well as the headquarters for the two schools. The Armor Museum is moving, but NOT the Patton Museum, which is privately owned. Source: November 13, 2006 Army Times. - SSG Cornelius Seon (Retired) 07:40, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
