From the Second World War to the present day
Six Infantry Brigades were established in England and Ireland in March 1945. The Third Battalion of the Fourth Brigade, the Brigade Steenstraet, was renamed the Ninth Line Battalion and continued the traditions of our Regiment (the Regiment had become French-speaking again).
After training in Northern Ireland, from April to November 1945, the Regiment was transferred to Germany. The first garrison was Sunninghausen.
On May 4, 1946 it received its new banner from the then Minister of Defense, Lt Kol Defraiteur. In that year the Ninth became Flemish again.
In 1947 the Ninth Line was transferred to Leopoldsburg and disbanded there with its Brigade on April 30. However, it continued to exist as a reserve unit.
From September 15, 1951 to January 31, 1956, the Regiment became an active unit again as a result of the very tense international situation. It was then stationed in Tongeren. In 1956 the Regiment became a reserve unit again, as a guard battalion of the province of Brabant (taken over from the 18th Line).
On December 1, 1975, the Ninth Line was re-established as the Anti-Tank Battalion of the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Brigade in Soest. On May 8 of that year it received its banner from the Minister of Defense, Mr Vandenboeynants (reserve non-commissioned officer of the Ninth Line).
On January 10, 1986, the Ninth Line was restructured into an independent Anti-Tank Company of the same brigade. The unit consisted of a Staff, three platoons of Milan and a platoon of tank hunters.
In 1992 the Ninth Line was transferred to the reserve for the third time as ATk company of the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Brigade.

During the restructuring in 1992 and due to the improved East-West relations, the anti-tank company 9th Line is merged with the sister company of the 8th Line. On July 1, 92, the "Compagnie Antitank 8-9 Line" was created. During the summer of 1993, this unit was disbanded and the traditions were taken over by the Company Headquarters - 8/9 Line. By the amalgamation of the First Brigade Staff and the Company Headquarters 8/9 Line takes over the First Brigade Headquarters - 8/9 Line on January 29, 2003, taking over all traditions from the 8th and 9th Line.
