More on Brigade Combat Team
Description from Wikipedia:
The brigade combat team (BCT) is the basic deployable unit of maneuver in the US Army. A brigade combat team consists of one combat arms branch maneuver brigade, and its attached support and fire units. Brigade combat teams are generally commanded by a colonel (O-6), in some rare instances they will be commanded by a brigadier general. A brigade combat team carries with it support units necessary to sustain its operations separate from its parent division. BCTs contain organic artillery support, formerly received from the division artillery (DIVARTY).
Currently, the U.S. Army is on converting its brigades into the new Brigade Combat Team (BCT) program . In this program, divisions that generally have not deployed individual brigades due to lack of integral support (1st Armored Division, 25th Infantry Division, etc.) have been restructured, giving them the ability to deploy one or more BCTs anywhere in the world. These BCTs will be able to stand on their own just like a mini-division; however, the soldiers assigned to a BCT will stay at their assignment for 3 years. This is intended to bolster readiness and improve unit cohesion.
