About two-thirds of those eligible accepted transfers out of the brigade, which was back-filled from other units in the Division. The brigade deployed on "temporary change of station" orders with the expectation that it would return to Fort Bragg after the Tet emergency was resolved. When it was decided to retain the brigade in Vietnam its status was changed to "permanent change of station" and all soldiers who had deployed with the brigade were given the option of continuing to serve a full tour in Vietnam or to return to Fort Bragg. Most (except for junior officers and junior enlisted men) had already served at least one combat tour and opted to return to CONUS. The brigade was then filled with replacements from across USARV and from CONUS. Most replacements were not airborne qualified and the brigade eventually became "Airborne" in name only – just as the 101st Airborne Division and the 1st Airborne Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division had already done during Vietnam service.
