After the end of Operation Desert Storm/Shield, the US Army inactivated many units. The units fighting the War on Terrorism are the survivors of the "Peace Dividend". While additional fighting brigades are being created, no additional deployable higher headquarters units are planned. This list is not comprehensive as it only includes active-duty formations under the divisional structure. There are many Reserve, National Guard, and support units not included or referenced here.
