- 5th Battalion, 73d Armor
- 5th Battalion, 33d Armor
- 5th Battalion, 41st Field Artillery
- Troop D, 10th Cavalry

There were the following units assigned to the 194th Armored Brigade (Separate) in 1990. They were:
- HHC, 194th Armored Brigade
- 1st Battalion, 10th Cavalry
- 2d Battalion, 10th Cavalry
- Troop D, 10th Cavalry
- 4th Battalion, 15th Infantry

The brigade downsized to primarily the 19th Engineer Battalion and Task Force 1st Battalion, 10th Cavalry. The task force consisted of a headquarters company, two armored (M-1 Abrams) companies, two infantry companies (mechanized) and one field artillery battery (M109 SP 155mm - Battery A, 77th Field Artillery).
The brigade was reduced to a separate battalion task force in 1993, the 2d Battalion, 33d Armor, of which at least three companies were tank and one was mechanized infantry, with sources also mentioning artillery and Bradley M-3 scout companies.
2–33 AR Task Force was finally disbanded in mid-late 1994.

Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or composition:
“Reason, progress, unselfishness, a wide historical perspective, expansiveness, generosity, enlightened self-interest. I had heard it all my life, and it filled me with despair.”
—Katherine Tait (b. 1923)
“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
