The 71st was previously a Battlefield Surveillance Brigade. Battlefield Surveillance Brigades were eliminated in 2016 and the 71st was restructured to an Expeditionary Military Intelligence Brigade due to doctrinal changes and the inactivation of the 36th Division Artillery (DIVARTY).
It is an integrated Intelligence, Surveillance Reconnaissance organization capable of performing security operations for Army Divisions and Corps and is capable of small-scale contingency missions when augmented by other capabilities.
