1-196th IN BN "Mavericks"

1-196th IN BN "Mavericks" Official 1st BN -196th IN BDE Army Page. We are proud to serve our nation and the community. Welcome to the 1st Battalion, 196th Infantry Brigade.

We are the Training Support Battalion (TSB) for the State of Hawaii. The Officers and NCOs of our organization would like to extend the warmest welcome to you and your family as you integrate into the Charger Brigade. Our Battalion consists exclusively of Officers and Senior Non-Commissioned Officers, who lend their technical and tactical expertise and experience to a very specialized mission set.

Our primary mission is to coach, teach, mentor, assist and evaluate small unit (squad and platoon level) for the National Guard and Army Reserve Units on the Island of Hawaii. Your partnership with your Reserve Component counterparts is essential in the completion of their mission to train and prepare for deployment. In addition to providing quality mentorship and training to the Army National Guard and Reserve units in our area of responsibility, we are also tasked to assist the Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Capability (JPMRC) in an Observer-Controller/Trainer capacity to observe and evaluate CTC simulated rotations for Active Duty Units stationed within the PACOM AOR. The Battalion Headquarters is located at Barbers Point. While it is universally understood that you align with USARPAC as an asset in this organization, you will utilize resources and facilities located at Schofield Barracks, along with Fort Shafter, and Barbers Point.
