187th Infantry Brigade (United States)
- 187th Infantry Brigade (United States)
The 187th Infantry Brigade was first formed under the United States Army Reserve's 94th Army Reserve Command, which wore the patch of the inactivated 94th Infantry Division, from which the 187th was formed when the 94th was inactivated and the combat element reduced to brigade size. As a separate brigade, the 187th wore its own shoulder patch. It served from 1963 through 1994, when it was inactivated as part of the Army-wide post-Cold War drawdown.
Cold War plans called for the Brigade to deploy to Iceland as part of the Iceland Defense Force if a confrontation between NATO and the Soviet Union eventuated. [Isby and Kamps, Armies of NATO's Central Front, 1984]
