As part of the Canadian Army's major restructuring in September 2026, 2 CMBG gave up its artillery regiment - 2nd Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery - and its light infantry battalion - 3rd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment - to the 1st Canadian Artillery Brigade and the 3rd Canadian Light Infantry Regiment respectively.
Two regular force units from other formations, 450 Tactical Helicopter Squadron (of 1 Wing, Royal Canadian Air Force) and 2 Field Ambulance (of the Canadian Forces Health Services Group), are located with 2 CMBG at CFB Petawawa and collaborate closely with the brigade group, though they are not technically under its full command. 2 Field Ambulance is under 2CMBG's operational control.
