Better US OOB

Description
I had always felt that vanilla HoI4's US Army OOB was somewhat lacking.

So I completely remade it from scratch, using official sources for placement and design. Note that I have not made any changes to the Navy or the Airforce. I may update this mod to include those, if I find that it would be worthwhile.

In terms of actual changes, I added Organized Reserve Divisions, the 1st Marine Brigade, and the Light Armored Regiments to the 1936 and 1939 starts, as well as moving divisions around to the places they were headquartered in 1936 and 1939. I also made some adjustments to US division namelists, where it was appropriate.

If you see a mistake, please let me know, and I will try to patch it.

This mod is, obviously, NOT compatible with Ironman mode. It may be compatible with other mods, but your mileage will vary.

An additional resource is the US Army Orders of Battle 1919-1945 Vol. 1 (Infantry) and Vol. 2 Cavalry & artillery. Be careful with these. They give the impression that some of the formation were in existence in '36 and on paper they were but most were not manned or were cadre at best.

No worries! I'm glad that you brought this up to me, that way I can make adjustments. I'll take a look at the link you posted, and make some changes.

I'm not trying to be cruel or argumentative or dis your effort but the OOB posted is not correct for 1936 (i did not do '39). The NG divs were 4 rgt formations because they kept their WWI OOB until reformed in '42. The reserve divs were that reserve that were nothing but paper as they had no bodies. The regular divs after the third were not raised until late '39 into '41. Try http://www.niehorster.org The US only starts in '41 but its a good starting place and gives the date raised. In '36 the org given for the US is an indication of how unprepared the US was and is fairly accurate..
