63rd Readiness Brigade USAR
U.S. Army
The 63rd Readiness Brigade, part of the United States Army Reserve (USAR), traces its lineage to the distinguished 63rd Infantry Division, which was activated during World War II and earned acclaim in campaigns across France and Germany. Reactivated in the postwar era, the unit transitioned from a combat division to a support role, adapting to evolving Army Reserve needs. Today, the 63rd Readiness Brigade is headquartered in Mountain View, California, and is responsible for providing base operations, logistical support, and readiness oversight to Army Reserve units throughout the western United States. The brigade plays a key role in ensuring that Reserve soldiers and units are properly equipped, trained, and prepared to deploy in support of national defense and civil missions.
