All of the posters are right. First the 2ID will keep its patch, for at least the UAX and one or two of its BCTs or UAs. The key in what the Army is doing is attempting to streamline one level of command by using one HQs formation capable of both tactical and operational C2 (corps/division), and making its fighting tactical formation self contained. For example, the CSS and CS (i.e. support formations and signal COs) are organic to the BCT not attached from some SPT command or Signal Bn owned by the Division. If any one is familiar with old regimental combat team or seperate INF BDE these are kinda the model. Its going to take a few years for it to sort out and folks to get their arms around the name changes. However, its the first really functional change in a long time. The BCTs have organic recon and intel, fires, UAV, support, signal, etc.
There are also thousands of majors and LTC in VA, Wash DC and elsewhere sweating the patch thing, likely more than sweating the best MTOE for the formation.
