Homer,

By the mid (1985) to late 1980's 39INB had a Direct Training Relationship with 101 AAD and it fell under XVIII Corps. However it was scheduled to go to Europe either with XVIII Corps or as follow-on reinforcement with I or III Corps
(the TAA-92 Chart has them falling under III Corps). All the SIBs Inf Bns were reorganized from H-Series (HHC, 3xRifle Coys, CSC) to an organization based on Abn/AA Bns (HHC, 3xRifle Coys, TOW Coy) (j or L series?). I know 45 SIB converted its Bns I am not sure if 39SIB converted by 1989.

Thanks. I figured they’d go abn/aaslt at some point.
