Take the Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) as an example - good idea, but just too small to do much good in a large disaster - according to one rumour, an entire engineer brigade could have been employed in Central America cleaning up the devastation of Hurricane Mitch. Unfortunately, somebody made the decision to put together a small, specialized DART, rather than maintaining the ability to deploy, oh, let's see ... an entire Combat Engineer Regiment?
Going one step further, the idea of converting the entire CF into one, big JTF 2 would probably end up meaning that we would have an excellent Army, but too damned small to do anything, anywhere.
Of course, this is only my personal opinion (and I'm not reading the same comic books that somebody else is ... sigh, it was so nice when he wasn't around)
Dileas.
