In the post-war period the US Army was divided into units that were ready for immediate action, and units, such as National Guard, that would require training before being deployed.

Originally a military acronym for STRategic Army Corps. An elite unit, the word became a term of compliment; "to be Strac" meant "to be militarily excellent" in both dress and skill.
