On September 1, 2009, the Texas Army National Guard activated the 1st Battalion (Airborne), 143rd Infantry Regiment, the only Airborne infantry battalion in the Army National Guard. The unit includes a battalion headquarters and headquarters company (HHC), 3 rifle companies (Cos A, B, and C), a weapons company (Co D), and a forward support company (FSC). Most elements of the battalion will be located in Texas, with Co A in Alaska and Co C in Rhode Island (converted from the former 173rd Infantry Detachment (LRS)). Rather than converting an existing TX ARNG unit, the battalion is being built from the ground up.
