During this period, the 9th is part of I Corps, it was made up of two light/motorized brigades, a NG mechanized brigade (round out), as well as a combat aviation brigade. The 9th also had an additional NG armored battalion and a USAR engineer combat battalion, a RA engineer battalion and a CH47 aviation company, the 2-75 Ranger battalion, the 1st Special Forces Group and the 35th ADA Brigade are affiliated.
I Corps was intended for use along the Pacific Rim, along with the reinforcement of South Korea in the event of a NK attack.
