The Only Arctic Airborne Unit in the United States Army | The Spartan Brigade
The 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division,“Spartan Brigade”, is an airborne infantry brigade combat team of the United States Army. The Spartan Brigade is the only airborne infantry brigade combat team in the Arctic and Pacific theaters, providing the combatant commander with the unique capability to project an expeditionary force by air. The importance of units like the 4/25 IBCT... can be easily summed up by a quote from Brig. Gen. Billy Mitchell, who is widely regarded as the father of the U.S. Air Force. “I believe that in the future, whoever holds Alaska will hold the world,”.
