This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Organization section, you might want to explain what "Headquarters and Headquarters Company" is. I mean, I know what it is, but how 'bout your reader. In the Reactivation section, this sentence ---> "The brigade prepares other units for mobilization, trains, assists, and supports them during pre-deployment exercises", "trains" do you mean like in "training"? If so, I would change it. Same section, "All members of the PRTs hae assembled for the training", something is very odd.
- "The Headquarters and Headquarters Company of the brigade is located at Fort Bragg, and acts as the command element for the formation, overseeing all subordinate brigades which are also located at the Fort." for clarification. Everything else,

- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- Dates need to be unlinked, per here. Throughout the article, link "Fort Bragg", "War in Afghanistan", "COL", "CSM", "Mechanized", and "public affairs" to their correspondence articles. The article tends to have red links, if they don't link to anything, it would be best to unlink them, per here. In the World War II section, the link "Company", do you mean it to the organization link or the military one? Same section, you might want to link "Stillwater, Oklahoma" once, per here. In the Reactivation section, it would be best if "Provincial Reconstruction Team" was followed by ---> (PRT), I mean, I know what it means, but how 'bout your reader. Same section, "In Fall of 2008", with seasons differing in different part of the world, a different wording than autumn or fall should be picked, per here. Same thing with the "spring" mention.
