[edit] Incosistencies with Army comparisons

The US Army's current modular force combines artillery with armor and infantry in one brigade combat team commanded by a colonel. This is counter to the claim, "...ground combat element combines artillery and light armor at a much lower level than is common in the U.S. Army." The designation MEU and BCT are different, but both are commanded by a colonel, hence the point that "...a level much lower than is common in the U.S. Army" needs clarification.

Also, combat aviation in the U.S. Army resides at division level, under a major general, not theater. Theater would be Corps or higher. ----AGB, SFC, USA
