Units & Organizations

3RD HEAVY BRIGADE COMBAT TEAM, 3RD INFANTRY DIVISION
The heritage of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, is a unique blend of two proud lineages. The unit traces its roots to the foundation of the 3rd Infantry and to a long-term affiliation with Fort Benning and the Home of the Infantry.

The 3rd Brigade was organized Dec. 1, 1917 at Camp Greene, N.C. From there, the brigade deployed to the First World War's European battlefields and received battle streamers for participation in the following campaigns: Aisne, Champagne-Marne, Aisne-Marne, St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne and Champagne in 1918. The brigade was disbanded Oct. 12, 1939 at Fort Douglas, Utah. During World War II, each regiment represented in the 3rd Brigade fought as part of the 3rd Infantry Division, where they were known as the Blue and White Devils. It was reconstituted on April 18, 1963, as 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, in Aschaffenburg, Germany, where it served until relocating to Fort Benning in 1996.

The brigade's association with Fort Benning began when the 197th Separate Infantry Brigade was organized in Sep-tember 1962 as a separate brigade to support the Infantry school. The brigade was later assigned a worldwide rapid de-ployment mission as part of the XVIII Airborne Corps. In October 1990, the 197th deployed to Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm as part of the 24th Infantry Division. The 3rd Brigade was attached to the 1st Armored Division alongside the 197th and together they spearheaded the coalition attack to the Euphrates River. In June 1991, upon return from the Operation Desert Storm, the 197th was re-designated as the 3rd Brigade, 24th Infantry Division.

In 1996, the 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized) colors came home from Germany to Fort Stewart, Ga. On April 24, 1996, the Brigade Combat Team at Kelley Hill assumed the proud lineage of the 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division.

In January 2003, the 3rd Brigade Combat Team deployed to Kuwait in support of the Global War on Terrorism.

On March 20, 2003, the brigade spearheaded the coalition ground attack into Iraq, leading the 3rd Division's attack during three major battles. Over 21 days and 600 km of continuous offensive combat operations, 3rd Brigade's drive culminated in the seizure of northwest Baghdad, setting the conditions for the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime. The Sledgehammer Brigade re-deployed to Fort Benning in June 2003 and almost immediately began transformation into a Brigade Unit of Action. In January 2005, the 3rd Brigade deployed to Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom III. The brigade spent 2005 conducting full spectrum operations in Diyala Province, parts of Sal ad Din Province and in the western city of Rammadi. In March 2007, the 3rd Brigade deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom V. After three deployments, totaling 42 months deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, 3rd Brigade trained and de-ployed as an Advise and Assist Brigade in 2009. This is the unit's fourth deployment to Iraq and the Brigade closely partnered with attached Transition Teams and the Iraqi Security Forces during the deployment. The Hammer Brigade returned to Fort Benning in late 2010 completing its last deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom VII. Upon the units return it was equipped with the latest Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the M2A3, and the Army's latest Tank, the M1A3. The unit will continue to execute its long range training calendar in preparation for full spectrum operations whereever it is needed.

11TH ENGINEER BATTALION
The 11th Engineer Battalion has engaged enemy forces from the Battle of Cambrai, France, to the Battle for Baghdad International Airport. Sergeant First Class Paul Ray Smith was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor after distin-guishing himself in action with an armed enemy near Baghdad International Airport on April 4, 2003. The Jungle Cats have fought on three continents against enemies in five major conflicts. The battalion re-activated at Fort Benning in January 2007 and stands ready to deploy in order to provide flexible command and control over modular engineer units in support of maneuver forces.

The 11th Engineer Battalion maintains two deployable command posts capable of providing command and control to as many as seven engineer mission teams. It provides unique skills, including assault and fixed bridging, road and airfield construction, vertical and forward operating base construction, demolition expertise, disaster relief and route clearance.

Units include the 63rd Engineer Company (Horizontal Construction), 60th Engineer Company (Vertical Construc-tion), 362nd Engineer Company Multi-Role Bridge (MRBC), Headquarters and Headquarters Company and the Forward Support Company. The 60th Engineer Company provides vertical construction capabilities, building new command centers and barracks space for maneuver troops occupying new positions and renovating the living and working con-ditions of troops deployed to austere conditions. The 63rd Engineer Company improves roads, builds runways and supports combat arms forces with mobility, counter-mobility and survivability. Originally designed to support Corps level gap crossings in a linear battlefield, the 362nd Engineer Company provides crossing options over dry and wet gaps during full spectrum operations.

14TH COMBAT SUPPORT HOSPITAL
The 14th Combat Support Hospital serves as a major subordinate command at Fort Benning, although its tactical higher headquarters, the 44th Medical Command, is located at Fort Bragg, N.C.

The 14th CSH is the medical task force headquarters for all corps level FORSCOM medical units on Fort Benning. "Task Force 14" is currently comprised of the 14th CSH, which is broken into Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, A Company and B Company; 926th Preventive Medicine Detachment; the 690th Medical Company (Ground Ambulance), the 19th Medical Team (Optometry and the 172nd Preventive Medicine Detachment, currently garrisoned at Hunter Army Air Field.

The 14th CSH was the first deployable Army hospital to convert into an Echelon Above Corps Combat Support Hospital from a Field Hospital configuration, which took place Oct. 16, 2004. The 14th Combat Support Hospital deploys to a joint/combined operational area and provides flexible, responsive, and effective Level III Health Service Support and Force Health Protection to supported forces conducting full spectrum operations and/or contingency operations.

The 14th CSH served in support of OEF VII from Jan. 31, 2006 to Jan. 30, 2007. Their tenure in Afghanistan was char-acterized by compassion, education and innovation. The highly specialized staff was directly responsible for decreasing the patient mortality rate from previous OEF rotations. The staff also produced the lowest in-house infection and venti-lator-associated pneumonia rates in the CENTCOM Theater of Operations. Additionally, the staff treated more than 22,000 outpatients and 850 inpatients, performed more than 1,200 surgeries, filled more than 67,000 prescriptions, regu-lated more than 750 air evacuations, conducted more than 11,000 radiological exams, administered more than 25,000 lab exams and treated more than 2,400 dental patients. All totals far surpassed those of previous rotations, a result of increased efficiency and a tireless work ethic.

690th Medical Company
In October 2006, the 690th Medical Company returned from its second tour in support of OIF, where the unit was separated among four different Forward Operating Bases and assigned a mission area of responsibility that consisted of more than 100,000 miles of battle space. They provided medical support for more than 1,500 Combat Logistics Patrols and they evacuated approximately 264 critical patients from those patrols alone. The company encountered more than 147 Improvised Explosive Devices during convoy patrols.

These Soldiers logged in more than 250,000 accident-free miles and maintained a fully mission capable equipment rate of more than 95 percent for 40 pieces of rolling stock.

926th Preventive Medicine Detachment
The mission of the 926th is to provide reliable corps-level preventive medicine services in order to minimize the medical and environmental health threats to the warfighter and those they support on the battlefield. The 926th PM was deployed in support of OIF from July 2007 to October 2008.

19th Medical Team (Optometry)
The 19th Medical Team (Optometry) activated on Oct. 16, 2008, and began their optical services and optical fabri-cation mission in support of Fort Benning tenant units, as well as FORSCOM directed missions. Key highlights for this re-porting period include the activation of this new unit and the establishment of the new Headquarters and Team Building. On order, 19th OPTO deploys to joint/combined operational area and provides eye care and optical fabrication services to supported forces in the area of operations while simultaneously providing command and control to two eye teams.

75TH RANGER REGIMENT
The 75th Ranger Regiment is the U.S. Army's premier light Infantry unit with a primary mission of planning and con-ducting special operations missions in support of U.S. policy and objectives. Rangers are ready to go anywhere at any time, with zero notice; to meet and to defeat the enemies of the nation.

The Ranger Regiment is one of the greatest producers of talented leadership and combat training in the Department of Defense and continues to select and attract only the brightest, most talented, disciplined, and toughest Soldiers in the U.S. Army. The regiment is one of the very few 100 percent volunteer units in the military. Every Soldier, from line Infan-tryman to supply sergeant, assigned to the 75th, must be selected by the regiment to be assigned to the regiment.

Since the onset of the Global War on Terrorism in 2001, Rangers have conducted a myriad of complex joint special operations in a wide spectrum of terrain and conditions from the 10,000-foot mountains in Afghanistan to the urban sprawl of Baghdad. They have led hundreds of air assault raids and thousands of direct action raids in which Rangers successfully destroyed or captured our nation's worst enemies.

Fort Benning is home to Regimental Headquarters, Headquarters staff, the 3rd Ranger Battalion and the Regimental Special Troops Battalion. Also a part of the regiment are the 1st Ranger Battalion at Hunter Army Air Field, Ga. and 2nd Battalion stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash.

The 1st and 2nd Ranger Battalions were reformed in 1974 by then Chief-of-Staff General Abrams, after being dis-banded after their successful use during operations in Europe during WWII. On Oct. 25, 1983, Rangers of 1st and 2nd Battalions "Led the Way" by conducting the airborne assault to seize Point Salines Airfield in Grenada and the rescue of American students. The 75th Ranger Regiment and 3rd Battalion were activated on Oct. 3, 1984, creating the largest unified Ranger force since World War II. The entire regiment conducted a combat jump and operations in Panama in 1989 as a part of Operation Just Cause. In 1993, elements of the 3rd Battalion deployed to Somalia to conduct missions in support of Task Force Ranger. The Rangers captured several enemy leaders responsible for launching attacks on United Nations forces. In 1991, elements of the regiment deployed to Southwest Asia where they conducted operations in support of Operation Desert Storm.

With Rangers conducting daring airborne parachute assaults and subsequent combat operations across Afghanistan and Iraq, the regiment once again has shown its strategic relevance in the current conflict. The regiment has maintained a continuously deployed combat force in the Middle-East with distinction since the start of the Global War on Terror.

U.S. ARMY MARKSMANSHIP UNIT
The U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit was established March 1, 1956, at the direction of President Dwight D. Eisenhower to raise the standards of marksmanship throughout the Army. The USAMU enhances the Army's recruiting effort, raises the standard of the Army's marksmanship proficiency and supports the Army's small arms research and development initi-atives in order to raise the Army's combat readiness. Since 1956, members of the USAMU have won hundreds of national titles, more than 40 world championships and 23 Olympic medals.

The unit promotes the Army by heightening public trust and confidence in Army marksmanship through awareness programs, which assist the U.S. Army Recruiting Command's increasing requirement for top quality new recruits. The USAMU also enhances combat readiness through the unit's provision of technical and advisory assistance in the de-velopment of military match-type small arms, equipment and ammunition. Upon request, USAMU will coordinate and conduct basic rifle and pistol marksmanship "train-the-trainer" clinics for small arms proponents, the U.S. Army Infantry School and other service marksmanship training units.

USAMU is composed of six competitive shooting sections: Service Rifle, Service Pistol, International Rifle, International Pistol, Action Shooting and Shotgun. Of these teams, International Rifle, International Pistol and Shotgun are Olympic sports. Support is provided to these Soldier-athletes through the Custom Firearms Shop and the support branches of supply, operations and administration.

The unit also makes or customizes small arms and ammunition through the Custom Firearms Shop, with gunsmiths, machinists, range technicians and ammunition loaders. Here, gunsmiths build top-quality competitive-grade rifles and pistols. The shop's research and development efforts have led to enhanced accuracy and reliability of our competitive weapons systems and ammunition and improved the combat effectiveness of the entire Army. It is here that the M-21 and M-24 Sniper Systems and Special Reaction Team Rifles were developed and tested. The combined efforts of the Soldiers and civilians of the USAMU have earned it the title, "the Home of Champions."

U.S. ARMY MANEUVER CENTER OF EXCELLENCE BAND
For over 50 years, the Maneuver Center of Excellence Band has taken great pride in entertaining the Soldiers, military families and civilian audiences of the Fort Benning, Columbus and Phenix City communities. The band's performances create esprit de corps among Soldiers and veterans, as well as providing patriotic spirit within the civilian community. As a promoter of the Army's Strategic Outreach, the band is involved in Soldier support.

The band's eight performing groups (Ceremonial/Marching, Concert and Big Bands, Brass and Woodwind Quintets, Jazz and Dixieland Combos, and Show Band) set the standard for musical excellence and perform more than 400 missions a year. The band annually performs a patriotic tour of cities in Florida, and supports parades, festivals and programs throughout Georgia and Alabama.

Each Soldier assigned has to maintain proficiency in physical and mental fitness as well as Army Warrior tasks while preparing for the next performance. Being able to successfully balance these requirements and being given the op-portunity to lead an ensemble are among the most rewarding aspects of being a military musician assigned to Fort Benning.

All musicians must meet and maintain expertise on their chosen instrument, a skill that must be attained prior to en-listing. These skills are fine tuned at the U.S. Army's School of Music in Norfolk, Va., following basic training, The band also prides itself in being a self contained company, managing its own administrative duties, safety and security, operations, training, and supply activities. Noncommissioned officers assigned are given even more opportuni-ties to lead or supervise the operations of one of these functional areas.

DIRECTORATE OF TRAINING
The Directorate of Training, part of the Maneuver Center of Excellence, provides Infantry, Armor, and Combined Arms expertise and instruction to develop agile and adaptive leaders. The DOT is composed of two divisions, the Tactics Divi-sion and the Combined Arms Integration Division. Together, these divisions provide and support instruction across the spectrum of leader courses taught at Fort Benning.

The DOT is the proponent for three courses — the Maneuver Pre-Command Course, the Maneuver Captains Career Course and the Tactics Certification Course. The Tactics Division is responsible for their instruction. The MPCC prepares battalion and brigade command designees to successfully assume command and lead their organizations. The MCCC trains captains in the art and science of Combined Arms Mission Command and battle staff leadership across the full spectrum of operations within contemporary operational environments. Their aim is to teach the Infantry and Armor officer "how to think" as opposed to "what to think."

The TCC teaches Army doctrine and the foundations for tactical planning and execution to instructors from the Infantry Basic Officer Leaders Course, the Noncommissioned Officer Academy, Ranger Training Brigade and Reserve Component. These courses are taught at the small group level and focus on full spectrum of kinetic and non-kinetic operations and combat leader skills.

The CAID provides select common core and branch specific/warfighting functions instruction in support of the MCCC, the Basic Officer Leader Course, Officer Candidate School and the Noncommissioned Officer Academy. The CAID is comprised of officers and noncommissioned officers representing the Engineer, Fire Support, Aviation, Signal, Military Intelligence, Staff Judge Advocate, Logistics, and Chaplain branches who bring their experience and subject matter expertise to the MCoE instruction. Civilian instructors in CAID provide instruction in communicative skills and mil-itary history to all of Fort Benning's leader courses and tenant units.
