Надеюсь, что Админы меня не побьют за отсутствие перевода на русский, т.к. даже мне не владеющему английским итак всё понятно. ;)
Наземная группировка
HQ US 3rd Army
HQ I MEF; III, V, XVIII Corps
3rd Medical Command
3rd Personnel Command
335th Theatre Signal Command
416th Engineer Command
377th Theatre Support Command
4th Mechanized Division [still off shore Turkey]
3rd Mechanized Division [Kuwait]
1st Armored Division [Not clear]
1st Cavalry Division [Alerted but we don't know where it is going]
101st Airmobile Division [Kuwait, all helicopters arrive by March 18]
2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment [XVIII Corps]
3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment [III Corps]
2nd Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division
1st Marine Division
2nd Marine Division [major elements of]
4th Marine Division [at least one MEB equivalent]
At least 6 National Guard infantry battalions
Additionally, at least one battalion of the 10th Mountain Division and elements of the SETAF [the major combat unit of which is the 173rd Airborne Brigade] have been alerted for movement; it is not clear where these troops are going.
US National Guard mobilization is significant; details can be found in the article by Shawn Dudley. Some of the confusion on where exactly US units are headed is being caused by persistent rumors that the US has started a buildup aimed at North Korea and also is preparing to step up its role in Colombia. The 92nd Air Assault Brigade of the Puerto Rican's Guard has been mobilized as a complete unit; this is fueling the speculation about Colombia.
Other formations V Corps deploying are combat and combat service support units:
130th Engineer Brigade
205th Military Intelligence Brigade
22nd Signal Brigade
3rd Corps Support Command
Given the threat from both ballistic missiles and converted unmanned aircraft equipped with biological and chemical weapons air defense is of critical importance to the Coalition. The following Patriot units are deploying:
108th Air Defense Artillery Brigade
35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade

The following continental US based units are deploying to the region:
9th Air Space Expeditionary Task Force
363rd Air Expeditionary Wing [Prince Sultan AB, Saudi]
40th AEW [Diego Garcia]
386th Expeditionary Group [Kuwait]
332th Air Expeditionary Group [Kuwait]
320th AEW [Oman]
405th AEW [Oman]
379th AEW [Qatar]
380th AEW [UAE]
39th Air and Space Expeditionary Wing [Incirlik, 4 fighter squadrons]
Essentially, it appears that units of the 7th and 8th AEF stayed in the theatre and were reinforced with units of the 9 AEF, which normally would have replaced one of the previous two AEFs.
The new task-based organization of the US Air Force is extremely confusing [and therefore makes hiding real assets that much easier].
The RAF will be deploying Tornado GR4s, Jaguars, aerial tanking and intelligence gathering aircraft in addition to those already in the region.

The US naval deployment will be principally centered around carrier battle groups. How many they will need depends on a number of political and military factors – the cooperation of Gulf countries, the planning deadlines, the anticipated length of high-intensity operations, etc.
The US currently has 3 carrier battle groups in the region:
CV 64 USS Constellation [CAW 2]
CVN 75 USS Harry S. Truman [CAW 3]
CVN 72 USS Abraham Lincoln [CAW 14]
CVN 73 USS George Washington [CAW 17]
CV 63 USS Kitty Hawk [CAW 5]
Two additional carrier groups are preparing to either reinforce them, or eventually replace them [CVN 71 USS Theodore Roosevelt [CAW 8] and CVN 68 USS Nimitz [CAW 11]. While the US could deploy six carriers in the theatre, it is likely that number will be overkill. Five carriers would appear quite enough.
[With the Japan-based Kitty Hawk enroute to the Gulf, the USS Carl Vinson, currently exercising near Hawaii, replacing it in the 7th Fleet on account of the Korea crisis. ]
