What does 3rd Brigade Combat Team IN Replacement mean?

16.2K

So I'm graduating AIT soon. Very soon. And my orders are to airborne, which was in my contract, no problem there, then to the place I wanted to go, 82nd Airborne, 3rd Brigade Combate Team IN Replacement, that's where I'm confused, what's IN replacement, assuming its infantry, what does that mean? Can anyone elaborate please? Any help is appreciated.

It’s just Infantry replacement. Essentially what it means is that they will give you exact orders down to a Battalion once you physically get to Bragg.

SPC (Join to see) yes you're going to 3rd BCT 82nd Airborne. There are different types of brigade combat teams, 3/82 is an Infantry Brigade combat team.

SPC (Join to see) Yes and then when you get to Brigade they will tell you which specific Battalion you will be assigned to.

You will be okay. Your orders just mean you are going to the brigade replacement depo. From there you'll be assigned to a battalion and then into a company. Once at your company you'll be assigned to a platoon.

Hopefully you’ll go to 2-505 best BN in 3rd BCT
