There seems to be some errors on Mike Pompeo military service. "From 1986 to 1991, Pompeo served in the U.S. Army as an armor officer with the West Germany-based 2nd Squadron, 7th Cavalry in the 4th Infantry Division. He served as a tank platoon leader before becoming a cavalry troop executive officer and then the squadron maintenance officer.[20] Pompeo left the U.S. Army at the rank of captain.[2][21][22][23] It is in conflict with other wikipages for the 7th Cavalry and 4th ID. 1. From the 7th Cavalry wiki page: "The 1st, 2nd, and 5th Battalions were deactivated after the Vietnam War, and only the 3rd and 4th Squadrons remained as divisional reconnaissance squadrons assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division and 2nd Infantry Division respectively." 2. From the 4th Infantry Division wikipages: "Post Vietnam/Late Cold War ... Returning to the US, the Division resumed training and Cold War missions. The Division remained stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado from 1970 through 1995. During this period, the Division was converted to a mechanized infantry division, and frequently sent constituent units to Europe to participate in the annual REFORGER exercises to continue the Cold War mission of deterring Communist threats. In 1976 the Division's 4th Brigade was established and permanently stationed forward at Wiesbaden, West Germany as Brigade 76, remaining there until being inactivated in 1984. It was during their time in Fort Carson that the Division assumed the nickname, "Ironhorse".[10]

I think the unit histories are accurate and the Pompeo biographic is not. Hope someone can nail this down. Eugene721@gmail.com
