Special Troops Battalion, 2nd Brigade Combat Team

The mission of the 2nd Brigade Special Troops Battalion is to, on order, deploy by land, sea or air to a specified joint area of operations and provides combat support to 2nd Brigade Combat Team.

A part of the US Army's modular force structure transformation included the creation of Brigade Special Troops Battalions. These units were designed to provide organic signals, engineering, military intelligence, military police, and other support which had historically been achieved by the habitual attachment of companies and platoons from units assigned to parent divisions. Elements of the 10th Signal Battalion, 110th Military Intelligence Battalion, 41st Engineer Battalion, and 10th Military Police Company were all inactivated and reflagged as elements of the new BTSBs.
