86th IBCT (MYN) was under 10th MTN (LI) at the beginning of the Associated Units Pilot. At the end of the initial pilot 86th IBCT (MTN) was reassigned as an independent brigade, to allow the 3rd Brigade to realign with 10th MTN (LI) as it was determined that a NG division (with most of its staff in an M-Day status) was not well equipped to have a full time active duty element beneath them.
