165th Infantry Brigade

The **165th Infantry Brigade** was originally constituted on August 5, 1917, in the National Army as part of the 83rd Division during World War I. The brigade was demobilized after the war and later reactivated multiple times, serving in various training and organizational roles throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries. During World War II, its elements were reorganized and redesignated, contributing to the Army’s wartime expansion and training missions. In recent years, the 165th Infantry Brigade has served as a basic combat training unit at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, where it continues to train and prepare new Soldiers for service in the United States Army.
