191st Infantry Brigade (Training Support)
The 191st Infantry Brigade is a US Army Reserve Training Support Brigade [TSB]. The Brigade's mission is to provide pre-mobilization leader and collective training assistance and support. The Brigade's main focus is providing training support, assistance, and evaluation to client units. The Brigade also provides assistance to civilian authorities during peacetime crises and/or natural disasters.
Late in 1962 the Defense Department approved reorganizing reserve units. In the Army Reserve some former divisional units assigned to the 79th, 94th, 96th, and 103d Infantry Divisions were used to organize four brigades, which added flexibility to the force as well as provided four general officer reserve billets. In January and February 1963 the 157th, 187th, 191st, and 205th Infantry Brigades were organized with headquarters in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Montana, and Minnesota, respectively. As with the Regular Army brigades, the number and type of maneuver elements in each Army Reserve brigade varied. The 191st Infantry was organized at Helena, Montana in February 1963. It was subsequently organized as the 191st Separate Infantry Brigade (Mechanized).
