The 136th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB) is a unit of the Texas National Guard since 2008. The unit has a long lineage in Texas, beginning in 1917 as the 117th Supply Train of the 42nd Infantry Division.[1] It was reorganized as the 111th Quartermaster Regiment, 36th Infantry Division in 1936,[2] and again in 1942 as the 36th Quartermaster Co.
By March 1963, the unit was known as HHC, 111th Supply and Transport Battalion, and in 1968 as the 111th Transportation Group. It was redesignated again in 1975 as the 111th Area Support Group. Today it is known both as (Joint Task Force) JTF-136 MEB[3] and the 136th MEB.
The mission of the 136 MEB is to support units in a deployment by securing route access, providing security and destroying threats in the rear areas.
