Engineer Brigade - 1st Cavalry Division
As part of the Army's transformation towards a modular force, the Engineer Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division was inactivaed at Fort Hood on May 24, 2005.
The 1st Cav Div Engineer Brigade functions as the reception, staging, onward movement and integration (RSOI) headquarters. This was successfully demonstrated in Exercise Foal Eagle, when the brigade headquarters deployed to Korea to support the RSOI of an armored brigade headquarters and balanced task force into the Korean theater.
The Engineer Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, was activated in October of 1992. Through the Army's "Engineer Restructuring Initiative," the nucleus of the brigade was formed around the division's historic 8th Engineer Battalion.
The 20th Engineer Battalion was brought from Fort Campbell, KY, to join the brigade and the 91st Engineer Battalion was activated to complete it.
