1st Battalion
After redeploying from Iraq in 2005, the 30th Infantry Brigade began the process of converting from an enhanced heavy separate brigade to the new heavy brigade combat team table of organization and equipment. As part of this reorganization, 1st Battalion was converted to a combined arms battalion. In the process, the battalion lost one of its three tank companies to 1st Battalion, 120th Infantry Regiment, but gained two infantry companies from the recently deactivated 119th Infantry Regiment as well as an engineer company. The battalion is set to deploy with the rest of the brigade in early 2009. 1st Battalion currently has companies in the following locations in North Carolina:
- Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC) located in Fayetteville, North Carolina
- A Company (Infantry) located in Williamston, North Carolina
- B Company (Infantry) located in Smithfield, North Carolina
- C Company (Armor) located in Southern Pines, North Carolina
- D Company (Armor) located in Sanford, North Carolina
