Description: In January 2000 the 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment began transformation into the first Interim Brigade Combat Team Infantry Battalion, leading the Army in the Chief of Staff?s vision of a highly-deployable and decisively lethal early-entry combat force. Since then the Tomahawk Battalion has lead the Brigade in developing the doctrine and training methodologies necessary to prepare to face our future?s emerging asymmetrical threats. The black beret symbolizes the consummate professionalism epitomized by the soldiers, noncommissioned officers, and officers of the 1st Battalion. Just as the Tomahawks are the archetype of the future of U.S. Army Combined Arms, the youngest member of the Battalion is the model of the Army?s future. His photo and the beret he donned with the Battalion are on display in the Battalion's Transformation Hallway.
