[edit] Copyedits

This article reads like it was directly copied from a book. I have tried to streamline it just a bit, but there is much that can be deleted or condensed into encyclopedic format. 198.203.136.200 18:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1st Regiment lives still!

The 1st Cavalry Regiment was not deactivated completely. the 8th Squadron 1st Cavalry was flagged in March of 2007 at Ft. Lewis Wa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.10.214.81 (talk) 03:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

2/1 Cav is also active again:

On June 1, 2006 at Ft Lewis, WA, a large Army reflagging ceremony occurred. The 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry’s colors were cased, the colors of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment were transferred, and the 4th Brigade, 2d Infantry Division colors were uncased. The 2d Squadron, 1st Cavalry’s colors were uncased as part of this latter ceremony. Our unit is alive once again after a 10 year stand down. (http://www.2-1cavalry.com/history.htm) Also, 1/1 Cav and 2/1 Cav took part in Desert Shield/Storm assigned to 1AD and 2AD respectively. (2/1 Cav was attached to 1/7Cav 1CD) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.191.27.197 (talk) 04:49, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

3/1 Cav was also reactivated and took the place of 1/30 INF in 3/3 I.D. in the middle of 2006. They are currently in Iraq. That was my unit before I ETS'd.Feral Mind (talk) 01:45, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
