This is a list of current formations of the United States Army, which is constantly changing as the Army changes its structure over time. Due to the nature of those changes, specifically the restructuring of brigades into autonomous modular brigades, debate has arisen as to whether brigades are units or formations; for the purposes of this list, brigades are currently excluded.
2nd Battalion is a rocket battalion assigned to the 75th Field Artillery Brigade, stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma [5] 19th Field Artillery Regiment. 1st Battalion is a basic combat training battalion, assigned to the 434th Field Artillery Brigade, stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma [15] 20th Field Artillery Regiment (United States)
The brigade combat team (BCT) is the basic deployable unit of maneuver in the U.S. Army. A brigade combat team consists of one combat arms branch maneuver brigade, and its assigned support and fire units. A brigade is normally commanded by a colonel although in some cases a brigadier general (O-7) may assume command. [1]
From 1859 to 1938, "brigade" ("brigade-division" 1885–1903) was also the term used for a battalion-sized unit of the British Army's Royal Artillery.This was because, unlike infantry battalions and cavalry regiments, which were organic, artillery units consisted of individually numbered batteries which were "brigaded" together.
The brigade was the only airborne field artillery brigade in the United States Army with 1st Battalion (Airborne), 321st Field Artillery Regiment providing the majority of the support for the 18th Fires Brigade's airborne mission.
Once again, an FDC exists at the US Army brigade or USMC regimental level that "owns" the battalions. [6] These higher-level FDCs monitor the fire missions of their subordinate units and will coordinate the use of multiple batteries or even multiple battalions in what is called a battalion or brigade/regimental mission.
