UNITED STATES ARMY
2nd INFANTRY BRIGADE COMBAT TEAM, 25th INFANTRY DIVISION (UEx)
Unit Guidons
The US Army's infantry brigade combat team (IBCT) is built around three infantry battalions, each with a headquarters company, three rifle companies (A, B and C) and a (heavy weapons company (D). Guidons for these companies are of the standard, traditional pattern for the Infantry branch. Combat engineer, military intelligence and signal companies are grouped in a brigade engineer battalion (BEB). The headquarters company of the BEB has an Engineer branch guidon and the other four companies have branch-oriented guidons. The cavalry squadron and the field artillery battalion have guidons of the standard branch pattern. The cavalry squadron has a headquarters troop, two motorized reconnaissance troops and one dismounted reconnaissance troop. The FA battalion has a headquarters battery and three firing batteries, two with towed 105mm howitzers and one with towed 155mm howitzers. Each firing battery has six howitzers. The headquarters company and forward support companies of the brigade support battalion (BSB) have buff guidons with scarlet letters and numerals but no branch insignia; the other three companies have branch-oriented guidons.
Infantry brigade combat teams stationed outside the continental United States have received a BEB (replacing the former special troops battalion) but not a third infantry battalion. Their BSBs, therefore, have five rather than six forward support companies. The 2nd IBCT of the 25th Infantry Division, which is stationed at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, is organized in this manner. It was converted from a Stryker brigade in 2014-15.
1st Battalion, 151st Infantry: The 1-151 IN is a unit of the Indiana Army National Guard. Under the Army’s Associated Units pilot program, the 1-151 is the 2nd IBCT's third infantry battalion. It will train and deploy with the brigade, and its soldiers wear the SSI of the 25th Infantry Division.
