Introducing project “Military Insignia”, featuring top quality military heraldry designs. Here you will find designer apparel, accessories, custom postage and gifts decorated with insignia of the 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team "Thunderbird". It is a modular Infantry Brigade Combat Team of the United States Army headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It is a part of the Oklahoma Army National Guard. Formed from the downsized 45th Infantry Division which saw action during World War II and the Korean War, the 45th Infantry Brigade was activated in 1968 and assigned to training duties for active duty army units for most of its history. Selected as an "enhanced" brigade in 1994, the 45th saw deployment as part of the United Nations peacekeeping force in the wake of the Bosnian War, being among the first National Guard soldiers to see duty in Bosnia. Its first deployment to Afghanistan to train soldiers of the Afghan Army was followed by a deployment to Iraq to assist in the turning over of American military bases to Iraqi forces. The brigade received all heraldry, lineage and honors from the 45th Infantry Division, including its Shoulder Sleeve Insignia and campaign streamers for combat in World War II and Korea. It has since received several of its own decorations for participation in the subsequent conflicts.
