Obviously, this is down at FT Riley as part of the 1st ID, but I'm not sure what downtrace this is. Any info would be grateful.

Isn’t HBCT (heavy brigade combat team) an older name for armored brigades under modularity?

It is their 1st BCT. HBCT was a term that was used in the past for ABCT. When they updated the Force Structure, they are now ABCTs. The issue with many units is when you look in their MTOE or TDA they haven't updated their units. I am in a TDA unit and my Cadre UIC is updated but the Student UIC is not. They look completely different but they are in the same company.
