10th Mountain Division
Description
General Barrie thunders into C.J.'s office, slamming the 10th Mountain Division's C4 rating—unfit for service at Fort Drum—as damning proof of military decay. This U.S. Army light infantry division, honed for mountain warfare, ignites the readiness showdown: Barrie wields its downgrade to savage post-Cold War Pentagon priorities, chaining it to broader critiques of force structure and deployability. C.J. parries with policy precision, but the unit's tainted status hangs heavy, exposing hypocrisies in valor and vigilance amid national security brinkmanship.

C.J. Exposes General Barrie's Stolen Valor
Barrie wields the 10th Mountain Division's C4 rating at Ft. Drum as emblem of military decay and unfitness, but C.J. reframes it under Pentagon's two-war doctrine tied to peacekeeping transitions; it fuels the core policy clash on readiness metrics.
