* Headquarters & an A company, which provided command, control, and oversight for the battalion & quartermaster support to the brigade. However, the forward support battalions of armored and mechanized brigades would have a separate headquarters and headquarters detachment (HHD) and a company.
* A B company, which provided maintenance support to the brigade both with 3rd Shop, and Maintenance Support Teams attached to the individual battalions.
