message: I corrected several scattered instances of "3rd," "third cavalry," and the like to the standard "3d Cavalry;" as well as "[the] regiment" to "Regiment."
In the section about CPT David Rozelle, I removed this statement: "One of the contributing factors that caused this was that Capt. Rozelle had failed to line the bottom of his Humvee with sand bags.  This was to supposed to help prevent the blast from entering the vehicle.  Has he followed this order, the injury might not have been that substantial."  In addition to the poor writing, this section is uninformed speculation.  First, there is no reliable source cited for the existence of an order regarding sand bags (because there was no such order) and second, a sand bag-lined floor would not have mitigated the effects of an anti-tank mine explosion on the occupants of a Humvee.63.160.173.6 17:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree 63.160.173.6, I think the statement is out-of-line. I don't know how CPT Rozelle's Troop ran, but in my unit the idea that sandbags ought to be put at the bottom of our Humvees was not a command but more of a rumor that soldiers didn't know what exactly to make of. Plus the sandbags could only be fitted to a very small portion of the bottom of the Humvee. -- Atfyfe () 04:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Corrections and Removal 

message: I standardized the initial format for the squadron sub-sections in the "Origins" section to make them all look the same.  I filled in most of the unit "nicknames" from memory, but I've forgotten some, namely HHT, 4th Squadron and HHT, Support Squadron.  Also, the Howitzer Batteries for 2d and 3d Squadrons are "Lion" and "Regulator," but I'm not sure which one was which.  I haven't been able to find a source for these at the official unit site, Globalsecurity.org, military.com, or anywhere else, so somebody with a better memory than me will have to fill those in.
Also, the Longknife Squadron unit history could use a little cleaning up, and the last paragraph of the Muleskinner Squadron section (regarding OIF III) is of questionable notability. Mike f 16:51, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Still no movement on this issue. Crazyhorse troop is not the nickname of C troop through all of the history of the regiment, and before I make an edit to this page I need some informed feedback about how to handle this issue. Aramis1250 (talk) 02:06, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Squadron sub-sections 

message: I've been trying to track down the changes in unit size, organisation, and equipment over the years. Obviously, there's the shift from horses to tanks, but info on the US Army's armoured cavalry regiments is a bit thin. For instance, a lot of detail about the current unit, less on earlier times.
Some of this just needs linking to the correct article, I'm sure, but a couple of references suggest that not all the periodic reorganisations of units were applied to all the ACRs. I get the feeling that it needs an insider to explain it all to the rest of us. Zhochaka 14:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Steve-o.JPG

message: I added a graphic of the 3d Armored Cavalry Regiments structure. However this is the old structure, which will change with the ongoing Transformation of the United States Army. The new structure will be the standardized Heavy armored brigade structure, but as I did not find any information today about which units will survive the transformation, I created a graphic with todays structure. As soon as someone knows what the new structure will be (especially what will happen with the 4th Squadron), let me know and I will update the graphic. --noclador 19:12, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This line got me to raise my eyebrows. I'm certainly no expert and don't know the Wiki edit process but this line strikes me as pretty unbelievable. It does seem to be lifted word for word from the unit's official history but that doesn't make it true. 
Am I just misinterpreting this line or is there more context to it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.161.206.5 (talk) 08:18, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  The 3rd Mechanized Cavalry Group was the first military unit to cross the Alps since Hannibal in 215 BC? 

message: I've seen some revisions added that include OIR and the nsome others to remove that and just categorize it under Iraq and Afghanistan. This should be seperate as Operation Inherent Resolve did not include Afghanistan however included Syria. This Operation was not tied to combat operations directed against the Taliban, Al Qaeda, or other groups in Iraq but directed at ISIL/ISIS.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Micahz2019 (talk • contribs) 00:02, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
