USAECAV

The United States Army Experimental Cavalry (USAECAV) was established in the early 21st century to test and develop advanced reconnaissance and rapid-response tactics for modern battlefields. Drawing on both traditional cavalry principles and cutting-edge technology, USAECAV integrated unmanned systems, lightweight armored vehicles, and networked communications into its doctrine. The unit participated in several joint exercises and operational deployments, providing invaluable feedback on the integration of new mobility and surveillance assets. USAECAV’s innovations significantly influenced the evolution of U.S. Army reconnaissance and cavalry units in the decades that followed.
