4th Brigade - 1st Infantry Division
|
Mission Statement:
In 2006, the 4th Brigade Combat Team was activated. It was one of 3 new kinds of brigade's the Army was forming. The 4th Brigade Combat Team is a light infantry brigade combat team. The Army also was creating a Stryker brigade combat team and heavy brigade combat team. The 4th Brigade Combat was self-sustaining, unlike previous brigades, because of its support battalion and because it has its own reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition unit. Brigade's had previously been supported in the latter role from seperate cavalry troops or from reconnaissance elements in their
maneuver battalions. Support elements had previously been held in Division Support Commands, attached to brigades during combat operations.
