First issue is you have to "prove" to First Army all the skills from individual through crew through PLT, CO, BN, and BDE culminating at a CTC like event. All the qualifications during Title 32 time are typically ignored.
PS - we do not have enough airlift or sealift to move the ARNG Heavy Brigades so we will have time to spin up.
