message: Forrest Tucker & Larry Storch ? I doubt these two comic actors actually served in the US Cavalry... perhaps this should be specified to mean they played cavalrymen on the comedy series, F-Troop.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.6.180.7 (talk) 01:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why not, if some idiot can add Ronald Reagan to the list, who only pretended at being in the military, by making war films at Roach Studios. It's kind of difficult to be in combat when he never left the security of his bed in Los Angeles.--

replies: text: FYI "Reagan enlisted in the Army Enlisted Reserve on April 29, 1937, as a private assigned to Troop B, 322nd Cavalry at Des Moines, Iowa. He was appointed Second Lieutenant in the Officers Reserve Corps of the Cavalry on May 25, 1937, and on June 18 was assigned to the 323rd Cavalry.[29] His service number was 0 357 403. Reagan was ordered to active duty for the first time on April 18, 1942." If you want sources, read his wiki article. Jrcrin001 (talk) 03:24, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Famous Cavalrymen 

message: Should there be a mention on this page regarding the US horse-borne charge in 2001?  It is mentioned, and well cited, in the War in Afghanistan article, and the Fall of Mazar-i-Sharif article as well. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 13:21, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Horse-borne charge

message: Hello,
I removed the following:
*27th Cavalry Regiment
*28th Cavalry Regiment, Established and Organized at Camp Lockett out of the 10th Cavalry Regiment
The lede for Buffalo Soldier recently stated the 27th & 28th Cavalry regiments were part of the original units organized right after the Civil War. This is clearly in error. There was no 27th or 28th Cavalry regiments in the history of the US Army. For a quick historical list, please click here.
Yes, I know the 27th & 28th Cavalry Regiments are listed in the two following cites, but both come from one source - an article written for the San Diego History Journal that is scant on sources for these two units. My guess is it is a typo.
* 27th Cavalry Regiment ref name=CpLockett {Citation
| title = Historic California Posts: Camp Lockett
| url = http://www.militarymuseum.org/CpLockett.html
| accessdate = 2008-01-17} ref
* 28th Cavalry Regiment ref name=CpLockett ref name="28cav" ref {Citation
| title = Defending the Border: The Cavalry at Camp Lockett 
| url = http://www.sandiegohistory.org/journal/93spring/border.htm
| accessdate = 2008-01-17} ref
Can anyone show me another source - like a US Army source? Please advise. Jrcrin001 (talk) 03:19, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  27th & 28th Cavalry regiments 

message: The WW2 Section seems to concentrate more on horsed cavalry than the more prevalent (at least post Pearl Harbor) mechanised variety! It also jumps mid paragraph from talking about horses to mechanized cavalry groups. I have split section into two subsections, horse and mechanized, and reordered paragraphs in, hopefully, a more logical manner.
Strangely, no reference was made of the most numerous cavalry unit (the Troop in each Infantry Division - well, at least in the ETO) nor of the squadrons in each armored division! The information on the unit structure was rather confused and had errors. I have corrected and expanded this from the referenced source - in particular, the halftracks used by the assault gun platoons seem to have been M3s and the M8 HMCs were variants of the M5 Stuart, not of the M8 Greyhound!Glevum (talk) 21:15, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Organisation - WW2 Mechanized Units 

message: This section is in a totally different style than the rest of the article, without any context whatsoever. It's an outline of positions in a rifle troop? It has no source, so I'm tempted to just cut it. However, it is interesting, and I'd like to keep at least some of the info in the long term. What do people think? - - mathmitch7 (talk/contribs) 15:28, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Let it stand--perhaps someone will volunteer to write a lead-in paragraph for it (maybe I will do it myself, someday) and yes, a reference citation would be good (I have seen that Table of Organization somewhere...), so, I think it is valuable historical information for anyone interested in U.S. Cavalry.CobraDragoon (talk) 15:13, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
