1:124th Cavalry (National Guard)

The 1st Squadron, 124th Cavalry Regiment (1/124th Cavalry) is a unit of the Texas Army National Guard with a storied history dating back to its origins in the early 20th century. Originally constituted in 1929 as part of the Texas National Guard, the regiment served in various roles, including federal activation during World War II, where elements were deployed to the China-Burma-India Theater. After the war, the unit was reorganized and continued to serve as a reconnaissance and security force within the National Guard structure. Today, 1/124th Cavalry provides reconnaissance, surveillance, and security operations, supporting both state and federal missions.
