FORT LEWIS - The Army post won't be the only thing the second Stryker Brigade Combat Team leaves behind as it moves to Germany this summer.

The 3,600-member brigade received a new name Thursday during a rain-drenched ceremony.

The move and name change are part of the Army's reorganization to increase the number of active-duty combat brigades, and it didn't have to look far to find a new moniker. The 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, became the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.
