Organisation record as of 2026 · lineage residue named
The present unit, from the Guard's current organisation of the 76th Mobile Brigade Combat Team: the 2nd Battalion, 151st Infantry Regiment, headquarters and headquarters company in South Bend, with a forward-support company in South Bend attached to it and a field-artillery detachment in the same city supporting it. That battalion is the named present unit for this county in the Guard's own current listing, successor in the county's Guard seat to the companies the wars file's machinery articles describe passing the township's men through South Bend. The floor's pattern case — a lineage carried name by name to a present battalion, as Fort Wayne carries its 1st Battalion, 293rd Infantry, the Nightfighters — is Fort Wayne's because Fort Wayne's companies stood in an unbroken local line; the same form cannot be run for Lakeville, whose militia record is one lieutenant, John M. Asire, and no company roll behind him (gap G-WAR-6, standing). What this section adds is the destination end of the line: any township man who served in the county's Guard across the twentieth century served in the South Bend battalion line that today stands as 2-151 Infantry. The residue is named and current: the battalion's official lineage-and-honours certificate, rung by rung back through its predecessor designations, is held in the Army's lineage record and was not read for this section; with G-WAR-6 open at the township end, this item closes mixed — present unit named and dated, the rung-by-rung succession and the township link both carried as named residue.
