The Stars & Stripes has an article on the dedication of the 2nd ID, 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team (1HBCT) at Camp Casey, Korea. According to the article, "There was a sense of déjà vu at the ceremony. Ten months ago, 2nd ID’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team (Strike Force) paraded in the same place for the last time before deploying to Iraq. The only difference this time was the color of the uniforms: green instead of desert tan." The 1HBCT is scheduled to stay in Korea. A separate Stars & Stripes article discusses the evolution of the aviation units in Korea, some of whom used to train with the 1=503rd and 1-506th Air Assault Battalions.
