15th Cavalry

The 15th Cavalry Regiment was constituted in the Regular Army of the United States in 1901 and first saw service during the Philippine–American War, conducting pacification operations in the Philippines. In the years that followed, the regiment served along the Mexican border and participated in the Pancho Villa Expedition. During World War II, the 15th Cavalry transitioned from horses to mechanized vehicles, serving as a reconnaissance unit in the European Theater. In modern times, the regiment has continued its legacy as a training and reconnaissance unit, supporting U.S. Army operations and training at Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning), Georgia.
