Aramike,
If I may make a suggestion or two..
I would use a couple books as source that are on this topic.
Even, though highly ficticious there are atleast two that come to mind and can give some insight.
a.) Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy
and
b.) Team Yankee, by Harold Coyle.
There is are two more books I can suggest about that very topic, written as a study paper/book by a General (ret), but unfortunately, I am in Germany right now and can't give a title. But I think it was called World War III. It was was pre 1990's, so no idea how usefull it might have been.
EDIT:
I think I found it at Amazon:
