Talk:2nd Cavalry Regiment (United States)

message: The title for this article is wrong - it should be U.S. 2nd Cavalry Regiment. 2d is not a proper numerical representation.
:The US Army doesn't put the "n" in 2nd... nor do they put the "r" in 3rd- so you see 2d and 3d.  Which, I assume, is why it keeps getting written that way here.  Cheers --DarthBinky 04:15, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

message: re the last sentence:In 2006 1st Brigade of the 25th Infantry Division, reflagged as the 2d Stryker Cavalry Regiment and restationed to Rose Barracks, Vilseck, Germany.: that sentence is not clear. so the 25th ID lost a brigade? what's that got to do the 2d ACR?

replies: text: Reflagging means that one unit has it's name and "history" changed to that of another. The original unit (in this case 2d ACR) is either deactivated or reflagged to something else. This time the 2d ACR was reflagged as a brigade of the 2d Infantry Division, and the 1st of the 25th was reflagged as the 2d SCR. Carnefice (talk) 02:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

message: In the graphical representation of the structure, it seems that the Anti Armor, MI, Engineer, and Signal troops stand alone and do not fall under any of the squadrons. Yet right next to it on the written description of the structure, the troops belong to specific squadrons. Which one is it???--Shovonma17 (talk) 05:14, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

message: According to Sawicki's lineage book, the 2nd Cav does not have a campaign streamer for the Philippines. Although most active regiments did rotate through the Philippines prior to World War I, I'm not sure we should list it as an engagement if it doesn't line up with official records and campaign participation credit.

message: After six months in Haiti, 1st Squadron arrived to replace 3rd Squadron. 2nd Squadron replaced 3rd Squadron in October 1995 and redeployed in March 1996 completing the cycle

message: Infantry battalions have companies while cavalry squadrons have troops; however, in this article I see squadrons with companies. I'm aware that such units are often predominately infantry and the infantrymen, to emphasize their MOSs, favor calling their units companies instead of troops.  What is the official, DA-approved designation?  Companies or troops?  I suspect the latter.VilePig (talk) 23:48, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Didn't this division have any role in Vietnam, I'm sure they did, so why isn't it included in this wikipedia?
