I went IRR from the 126th 17 yrs. ago, currently they are on standby to possibly go to Texas on deployment for helping with the hurricane Harvey victims.

I served with the 126th when it was Armor, this year when I turn 60, I plan on helping the Dowagiac group out. Have talk with and meet some of the members, they're a great group of guys.

Yes I have. I was part of the BN when they were still CAV SQDN. They are now an Infantry BN, they fall under the Command of the 32nd IBCT out of Wisconsin. They have fallin back into the beginning roots. The BN CoC is among the best in the state. The individual units also have some of the best command teams as well as the Unit Full Time Staff. The new MTOE is as someone would think it is. This BN has recently re-flagged from CAV to Infantry. There are lessons being learned, and they have the right people in the right positions to do so.
