November 24, 201312 yr #6 The last patch was the new 85th Division patch..what it is now I don't know
November 24, 201312 yr #7 The last patch was the new 85th Division patch..what it is now I don't know It was for the "new" 85th Division, Training Division, I think, to replace the "CD" Cuter Division SSI. I believe that the Army switched back to the CD design some time ago, but it is worn by the 85th Support Command now. From the unit website- After World War II, the Custer Division was reactivated as a Reserve element, first as an Infantry Division, then a Basic Training Division, and then as an Armor/Cavalry Training Division. As a Training Division, two of our battalions, the 1st Battalion 335th Regiment (Armor) and the 2d Battalion 353d Regiment (Chemical) were mobilized in January 1991 in support of Operation Desert Storm. The Division was re-designated as a Exercise Division in 1992 and became the first exercise Division to simultaneously conduct simulation and lane training. In 1999 they were reorganized to a Division (Training Support). In 2007 they were reorganized into the Regional Support Group-West. In 2008 they were reorganized into the 85th USAR Support Command continuing the Custer Legacy.
