Armor-Cavalry Regiments (c2005)
Format:
Xth Regiment (Nickname) (Date)(Home station)
Xth Squadron (Status, Type, Higher HQ)(Home station)
Nicknames: Given when known.
Date: The regiments constitution or organization, whichever came first.
"Dates" for subordinate units may be given at a latter time.
Home station: Given for actual operational regiments only and naturally subordinate active
units as well. In the case of non-operational regiments, as we understand it it's "home"
is with it's lowest numbered Continental US (CONUS) unit (ie 1st Battalion, etc), or if
it has none in CONUS, the lowest numbered unit elsewhere. Because of space and time
constraints we are not able to give the home stations of individual companies and troops
of various (esp ARNG) battalions and squadrons. For such ARNG units the homes station
given is actually that of the HHC.
Status: Regular Army (RA), Army Reserve (AR) or Army National Guard (X ARNG)
Type: Tank battalion, armored cavalry squadron, etc. Also includes Inactive status. Also note
that this includes all Armor and Cavalry regimental units, which in the case of many
Cavalry regiments are actually infantry units. However they are part of Cavalry
regiments and as such will not appear on my Infantry Regiments page (whenever it is
done).
Higher HQ: The brigade, division, etc the unit is part of.
We do not pretend to present the official status of these units, just the best information we
have on them. As such we hope this is a valuable resource to many. We would would like to thank
first and foremost the Office of the Chief of Armor for quickly responding to inquiries about
the Armor Regimental System. We should also mention the great help of the Military History
Institute, who's archives were invaluable. They and Armor Cavalry Regiments, by the NG Bureau,
vastly updated our information.
The status of Armor and Cavalry regiments in the US Army is currently in a state of flux due to
the establishment of new Armored Reconnaissance and RSTA squadrons as part of the new Modular
Brigade Combat Team concept. Several former Armor regiments are being redesignated as Cavalry
regiments, while new Cavalry regiments are being created as the lineal successors to World War
II Tank Destroyer Battalions. Meanwhile, the Army National Guard is also apparently planning to
convert several armor and infantry units into cavalry. We have currently listed new Army National
Guard Armored Reconnaissance or RSTA squadrons that are being formed. Other units in the process
of transitioning will be updated as they do so. However, much of this information is not yet
available.
We are always looking for new or updated information and welcome any such.
If you have any questions or comments (especially new info) please e-mail

1 While the 4th Squadron, 1st Cavalry was assigned to West Point in 1958 (to the
remembrance of some there), this unit has somehow become 'lost' over time. The unit is not part of
the USMA garrison (as the similarly assigned 1st Battalion, 1st Infantry - which was assigned to
USMA on the same date - is), and historians there do not know where the units colors are or how
this came to be.
2 Redesignated from 32nd Armor Regiment.
3 Redesignated from 33rd Armor Regiment.
4 Redesignated from 40th Armor Regiment.
5 Redesignated from the 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion.
6 Redesignated from the 705th Tank Destroyer Battalion.
7 Operates as the peacetime state command and control of E, F and G Troops, 82nd
Cavalry, but has no wartime operational role or units.
