Narrative

Round shaped coin, brass in color, 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

In 2005, the 125th Military Intelligence Battalion was inactivated as part of the transformation of the 25th Infantry Division to the US Army's modular force structure. Following the inactivation, the signal elements were to be consolidated and restructured within other combat brigades. As part of the modular transformation, assets previously held at division level, but habitually assigned to the Division's brigades during operations were made organic to those brigades. At division level, military intelligence elements were integrated into the Division Special Troops Battalion (and later the Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 25th Infantry Division). At brigade level, military intelligence were integrated into brigade special troops battalions, or in the case of Stryker Brigade Combat Teams, in the form of separate signal companies.
