11th ACR 2nd squadron F troop

The 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (11th ACR), known as the "Blackhorse Regiment," has a distinguished history dating back to its activation in 1901. The 2nd Squadron, with its F Troop, played a significant role during the Vietnam War, conducting armored reconnaissance and security operations in challenging environments. F Troop was instrumental in patrolling the Cambodian border, engaging in combat operations, and providing critical intelligence for larger unit maneuvers. In later years, the 2nd Squadron, including F Troop, was stationed at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California, where it served as the Opposing Force (OPFOR), training U.S. Army units for deployment by simulating enemy tactics and scenarios.
