The 37 IBCT developed a reputation for being one of the most disciplined, mission focused and professional Brigades to serve in Theater, given high praise by the Commanding Generals of Army Central Command, 3rd Army (Patton’s Own) and Multi-National Force – Iraq (MNF-I) for accomplishment of its mission. "The Soldiers brought great credit upon themselves, the Brigade and the Ohio and Michigan National Guard. A true testament to the type of individuals we have in our ranks. The Soldiers of the 37 IBCT demonstrated over and over the persistence in doing what was needed to be done to accomplish the mission, giving up was never an option and they knew that success could not be achieved without determination, and they showed that throughout the entire mission." - COL Richard T. Curry, Ramadi, Iraq 2008
