OT: US Army question
I've been reading: A History of the Korean War: Pusan to Chosin. Anyway, in the
organizational chart for the US Army of that day they mention a Pioneer &
Ammunition company, which is normally attached to the headquarters company of
an infantry battalion of the US Army. What does a Pioneer & Ammunition company
do? Does the US Army still have Pioneer & Ammunition companys today? Also, does
the US Army still use Regimental Combat Teams anymore?

Re: OT: US Army question
Pioneer, seems to be a name used by the Australian battalions.
Regiment: military unit consisting usually of a number of
battalions. We'd probably call it a Artillery Division.

Re: OT: US Army question
Bill, The Korean War, An Oral History, Pusan to Chosin by Donald Knox shows
Pioneer & Ammunition Platoons (not companies, I guess i got that wrong) as
being attached to every Headquarters Company of every US Army Battalion in
Korea. It even has stuff written by guys who were in Pioneer & Ammunition
platoons in the US Army back then. I figured if anyone knew it would be you.
They also had Pioneer & Ammunition platoons in WWII. I know one WWII vet who
was in the 90th infantry division (105 artillery) in WWII maybe I'll ask him.
