303rd Calvary

The 303rd Cavalry Regiment traces its lineage to the interwar period, originally constituted in the Organized Reserve in 1921 as part of the United States Army. It was first activated in Washington State and assigned to the 61st Cavalry Division, primarily serving as a training and reconnaissance unit. During World War II, elements of the regiment were reorganized and absorbed into other units to support the war effort, reflecting the Army’s transition from traditional horse cavalry to mechanized forces. After the war, the 303rd was reactivated in the Army Reserve, continuing its legacy of reconnaissance and security missions before eventual inactivation or consolidation during later force restructurings.
