The 170th Infantry Brigade Combat Team of the United States Army was reestablished 15 July 2009 at US Army Garrison Baumholder in Germany. The 170th Infantry Brigade Combat Team was formed by reflagging the 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division. The 170th Infantry Brigade Combat Team is organized as a hybrid of the Army of Excellence (AOE) and modular brigade designs, as it incorporates both organic artillery, engineer, and support battalions together with its base of two infantry and one armor battalion.
