I have reason to believe that this term is still being used. In Generation Kill (which is about the Iraq War) they talk about R.C.T. 1 as if it was a Division. Can anyone confirm this? 203.160.122.148 (talk) 08:22, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The term is still commonly used in the Marine Corps today. The term RCT still refers to the regiment and its attachments, they are not referring to it as a Division.--Looper5920 (talk) 09:30, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
