Definitely find Infantry at Bliss. I was with 1-35 AR & 1-6IN, 2BCT, 1AD. No idea who's deploying out of Bliss these day, but I noticed 2-1AD completed an NTC rotation.

When I was at Ft Bliss in 1966 (AIT) we trained as a Mobile Artillery Unit along with other like units. We were the 5th Battalion 2nd Artillery, (M42 Dusters), Automatic Weapons Self Propel (AWSP) The D-71-Quad 50's mounted on Deuce and Half trucks were attached to us. All AWSP's had Quad 50 units attached. If there were any infantry units there at that time I never noticed.

Often you will find out about units if you go to the Post website.
