Why does a brigade support battalion exist?
With the high mobility of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army needed to make brigades as independent as possible, rather than moving entire divisions as a single unit. By expanding brigades with their own support and multi-branch combat battalions, they could be deployed as a unit without need for further support or attached units. Thus, what was called a Brigade is now called a BCT - Brigade Combat Team.

How many men comprise an army brigade?
The modern military no longer uses set piece units at levels above battalion size. They customize units to accomplish a specific mission, adding forces like engineers, intelligence units and detaching armor or artillery. A brigade was once somewhere between a regiment and a division. Today it could be less then 3000 men, or even twice that number. Particularly in the U.S. Army, the brigade has replaced the division as the primary tactical combat unit. That is, divisions are now primarily logistical and administrative in nature, while the brigade is the self-contained unit deployed for combat. As such, brigades are "customized" when deployed, adding various asset units depending on the mission. A deployed brigade now can consist of little more than a 2-3 battalions and some logistical support, up to sizes that rival divisions: 4-5 combat battalions, 2-3 major combat support battalions (artillery, aviation, etc.) plus a full complement of logistical units. The idea is to create a "plug-and-play" model where a brigade structure consists of little more than a skeleton staff until it is to be deployed, at which time the parent division (or sometimes even other divisions) assign that skeleton brigade command the full complement of units it will need to accomplish its specified mission.
