In 2005, the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division began transformation to the US Army's new modular force structure. As a result many of its units were reflagged. Also, units previously held at division level were made organic to the unit, a key element of the modular transformation. 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry was reflagged as the 1st Battalion, 9th Infantry. The 1st Battalion, 9th Infantry was reflagged as the 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry. 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry was reflagged as the 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry. The 2nd Battalion, 17th Field Artillery and 2nd Forward Support Battalion (redesignated 2nd Brigade Support Battalion) were also made organic to the new Brigade Combat Team.

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.
