FORT BENNING, Ga. (AP) - A ceremony is planned at Fort Benning
to mark the inactivation of the U.S. Army's 1st Battalion, 11th
Infantry Regiment.
Fort Benning is deactivating the unit because the Army has cancelled its Basic Officer Leader Course II, a training course designed for new lieutenants.
Some of the training the new officers have received in that course will be included in their next level of training.
The unit has been assigned to the U.S. Army Infantry School since 1987 and has at times responsible for the 283rd Army Band,
the Infantry Captains Career Course, the International Student
Detachment and the Fort Benning Replacement Company.
It has been shut down and reactivated five times since it was
formed in 1798.
