2nd BDE 2nd INF DIV

The 2nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division (2nd BDE, 2nd ID), known as the "Strike Brigade," has a distinguished history dating back to World War I, where the division fought valiantly in France. In World War II, the brigade’s parent division was among the first U.S. units to engage in combat in Europe, landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day and advancing across France and into Germany. During the Korean War, the 2nd Brigade played a crucial role in the defense of the Pusan Perimeter and the subsequent push north. In recent decades, the brigade has deployed in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, continuing its legacy of readiness and service.
