So this must have been to replace at least one.

It also lost 2 armored Battalions of the 102nd as well in 1991. Guessing it lost a whole NJ brigade at that time. The 36th was missing a mech infantry btn on its formation. Given the location of the btn makes more sense that it was filling that spot imo.
