RE: Overloading In the ‘Rank’ Department

While assigned to 82d Airborne, we had a real-world mission assignment: Rescue American nationals from Kenya during a war.

My brigade was DRB3, i.e., we were supporting the load-out of the Division Ready Brigade 1. I recall hearing troops coming back from the marshaling area saying they saw a two-star loading a duce-and-a-half.

Sheesh…..don’t these people have something BETTER to do than get in the way of the men?
