Two battalions assigned to the inactivating 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, are set to case their colors in ceremonies this month at the Cavalry Parade Field at Fort Riley.

The casing ceremony for the “rangers” of the 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment is scheduled for 10 a.m. May 1.

The 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment is being reorganized and assigned to the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Benning, Georgia.

The casing ceremony for the “Wolverines” of the Special Troops Battalion is set for 2 p.m. May 12.

Soldiers of the STB have provided intelligence, logistics, signals capabilities among other critical specialities, and have played an integral role in the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team’s training, missions and multiple combat deployments in the last seven years.

The battalions stood up in January 2006 when t he 4th IBCT was activated at Fort Riley. The brigade’s colors were cased April 2 during a ceremony on Cavalry Parade Field ahead of the brigade’s June inactivation. The inactivation is part of the Army’s ongoing restructuring process.

A casing ceremony for the 4th IBCT’s 701st Brigade Support Battalion is also set for 1:30 p.m. June 2.
