The 110th Information Operations (IO) Battalion was federally recognized as an organization on April 1, 2008. Following the inactivation of the 2d Battalion, 110th Field Artillery Regiment, the 110th IO battalion was given the honor to carry the 2d Battalion 110th Field Artillery lineage which dates back to World War I. The 110th IO FSB was designed to provide trained, deployable, culturally aware, and regionally focused information operations teams to perform tactical strategic-theater IO tasks.
The unit's higher operational headquarters is the 56th Theater Information Operations Group, Washington Army National Guard.[1] Maryland National Guard administrative and operational control (Title 32 and State Active Duty operations) of the battalion has been reorganized from under the 29th Combat Aviation Brigade in Edgewood, Maryland to the 58th Expeditionary Military Intelligence Brigade in Towson, Maryland[2]
