Did anyone else notice, in yesterday's big parade, that almost all tracked vehicles (Pattons, Bradleys, Strykers, Self-propelled howitzers, etc.) were crewed by the 1st Cav, no matter what unit they were supposedly from? Seems that some fuzzy doings caused that . . . or were they all from the 1st Cav and marked for other units to simplify the logistics of getting all those rigs to DC?

And your point is?...

Why would vehicles supposedly assigned to the 1st Armored, 3d ACR, 10th & 11th Divisions, etc., be operated by soldiers from the 1st Cav?

My guess... The 1st Cav was assigned the primary mission for the parade. The various vehicles were shipped in to be operated by members of the 1st Cav. Probably saved a lot of money.

Or . . . all of the vehicles were from the 1st Cav, but unit IDs were changed for the parade . . . That would save a bundle; shipping most vehicles from one or two locations rather than many.
