The division's 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team was inactivated after leaving Afghanistan in spring 2015, and its maneuver battalions were reassigned to the remaining three brigade combat teams; subsequently the division's 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team was re-flagged as 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team.<ref name="4thBctReflag">{{cite web|title=4-1 BCT reflags to 3-1 BCT|url=http://fortblissbugle.com/state-of-the-military-mg-twitty-sees-bright-future-for-fort-bliss/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160817101214/http://fortblissbugle.com/4-1-bct-reflags-to-3-1-bct/|archive-date=17 August 2016|access-date=3 March 2019|url-status=usurped|publisher=Fort Bliss Bugle}}</ref> The 1st Stryker “Ready First” Brigade converted to an armored BCT in summer of 2019, exchanging its 300+ Strykers for Abrams tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles. <ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.army.mil/article/223475/1st_stryker_brigade_combat_team_converts_to_armored_brigade |title=1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team Converts to Armored Brigade |date=June 20, 2019 |website= Army.mil |publisher= |access-date=  }}</ref>
