New Patch
According to the US Army Institute of Hearaldry, the 116th no longer wears the 116th IBCT patch http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Heraldry/ArmyDUISSICOA/ArmyHeraldryUnit.aspx?u=3697. A D-Day anniversary message posted on facebook showed the commander of the 116th IBCT wearing the patch of the 29th Infantry Division. Also, this press release in Aug 2009 has a soldier identified as being with the 116th Brigade wearing the 29th ID patch http://vko.va.ngb.army.mil/VirginiaGuard/news/aug2009/3-116trainingex.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by Agamemnon b5 (talk • contribs) 15:50, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

116th IBCT vs 116th in VANG
Why do we have two separate articles?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/116th_Infantry_Brigade_Combat_Team_(United_States)

vs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/116th_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States)

While the latter is clearly the page with the historical lineage and regimental affiliation, these are, in actuality the same units.

I would recommend merging the articles.
 * The article 116th Infantry Regiment is about the history of the parent regiment and not the brigade. The brigade history and lineage is distinct from that of the regiment as established by the United States Army Center of Military History. Additionally, the current 116th IBCT includes units not linked with the 116th parent regiment. Kges1901 (talk) 22:48, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't disagree with this distinction, but the regimental article also contains an (incorrect) labeling of the current structure. Perhaps a better option will be to scrub the two to ensure the distinction is clear (as you have done some already) and replace the current organization structure with a reference to the current IBCT.

 * Does the clarification of 'parent unit' work for you? I wanted to keep it there since it was more detailed than that on the brigade page. Kges1901 (talk) 23:17, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I think that clarifies it perfectly. Thanks. Are you part of Stonewall? Squatch347 (talk) 15:44, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
