SIDE 2 -

The 7th Squadron, 10th Cavalry regiment was originally stood up on December 16th, 2004 as part of the 4th Infantry’s new modular design. The unit replaced the 3rd battalion, 66th armor, which was inactivated, and shifted its mission from that of a tank battalion, designed to close in and destroy the enemy to a cavalry regiment tasked to find and maintain contact with the enemy. The 7th Squadron, 10th Cavalry was deployed to Iraq as of January 2006 and was operating out of Camp Taji, located 10 miles northwest of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.

The 7th Squadron, 10th Cavalry has since been deactivated. Only the 4th Squadron is still active and assigned to the 3rd Brigade, 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson, Colorado.
