HQ 2 BDG 49AD

**HQ 2 BDG 49AD** (Headquarters, 2nd Brigade, 49th Armored Division) traces its origins to the post-World War II reorganization of the U.S. Army National Guard. Reactivated in the early 1950s, the 2nd Brigade of the 49th Armored Division was headquartered in Texas, serving as a vital armored force during the Cold War era. The unit participated in numerous training exercises and supported domestic operations, maintaining readiness for both national defense and state emergencies. With the Army’s force restructuring in the late 20th century, the 49th Armored Division and its subordinate brigades, including HQ 2 BDG, were eventually inactivated or reorganized into new commands.
