National Guard: Reported Readiness of Combat Brigades During the Persian Gulf War.

Abstract

The 48th brigade was one of three Army National Guard "roundout" brigades activated for the war. The 48th was the roundout brigade for the 24th Infantry Division, which had been deployed to the Gulf. After the 48th was mobilized in late 1990, it trained at its mobilization station and at the Army's National Training Center (NTC), Fort Irwin, California. The 48th was validated by the Army as being ready for deployment, but it was not deployed and remained in training status. The Army selected an active Army brigade, the 197th Infantry Brigade, to deploy in place of the 48th.
