After several weeks of distractions, I've finally come out with part 1 of my history on the organization of the National Guard. Thank you to @mcbarry.bsky.social for his collaboration! We have more to come! open.substack.com/pub/jhausdor...

I'm not usually one to do fan fiction on main, but given trecent statements regarding US Army force structure seem pretty juiceless imo I thought I'd do a double whammy of reimagining the Cav Regts as ACRs with a whole battalion of SUAS hunter-killers instead of the old helo-based 4th Sqdn
