The Division absorbed the units of the 26th Infantry Division and the 50th Armored Division in post Cold War restructuring. The New Jersey brigade that transferred from the disbanding 50th Division in 1988-9 was initially an armored brigade, but transitioned to an infantry brigade in the very first years of the 21st Century
