Brigade Combat Team

A Brigade Combat Team (BCT) is a large, organized military unit that combines infantry, artillery, armor, and support elements. It functions as a self-sufficient team capable of conducting a variety of missions, such as combat, peacekeeping, or disaster response. Think of it as a small, versatile army within the larger military structure, designed to operate independently or alongside other units. BCTs are structured to provide flexibility, speed, and a full range of capabilities to respond effectively to different operational needs.
