Powell and Schwarzkopf were roughly at similar spots in 1986 - both were Lt. Generals commanding V Corps and I Corps respectively. So, with a POD no earlier than that, and preferably at least mid-1987 or later...

1) Is it plausable to have Powell go on to be the commander of CentCom and be in charge of a large operation against either Iraq or Iran while Schwarzkopf becomes Chair of the Joint Cheifs?

2) What's the best/most plausable/most interesting way to the above?

3) What happens?
