Eli5. Why do military groups (101st airborne for example) seem to be numbered in random order
In: 1833
As others have said they were originally numbered sequentially and I’d like to add a modern example: the US Space Force is a new service they created an organizational unit called a Delta. They numbed them Delta 1 through 26, with some historic units retaining a number like the 45th Space Wing becoming Space Launch Delta 45.
