Reconstituted 15 April 1960 in the Regular Army; concurrently, consolidated with Headquarters and Service Company, 2nd Infantry Battalion (see ANNEX) and consolidated unit designated as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2d Special Forces Group, 1st Special Forces. Withdrawn 14 December 1960 from the Regular Army and allotted to the Army Reserve (organic elements concurrently constituted). Group activated 15 March 1961 with Headquarters at Columbus, Ohio.

It might be interesting to hear how he was in that Group in the 1990's.
