218 IB only became RO to 1 ID when they lost their Fwd Bde in FRG during the post-Cold War drawdown. Around the same time 1Cav & 24 ID both got their third Bdes back with the drawdown of 9 ID, 194 AB, and 197 IB. AC units were in a massive state of flux at the time. If I was a betting man, prior to the Wall coming down, I would have to say that 218 was most likely CAPSTONED to XVIII Corps along with 28 ID, 39 IB, & 278 ACR.
