The 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment is the Army's only Armored Cavalry Regiment consisting of nearly 5000 Soldiers and over 1800 tracked and wheeled vehicles including 123 Abrams tanks, 158 Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicles, 18-155 mm howitzers, 18-120 mm mortars, 24 Apache AH-64 attack and 10 Blackhawk UH-60 lift helicopters and two Shadow Unmanned Aerial Surveillance Platoons among other major combat systems. It is easily the most powerful, flexible and capable brigade level combat formation in the world.

The Regiment has a worldwide contingency mission to conduct operations as an air-ground, combined arms team in support of a contingency corps, a Joint Task Force, or a Multinational Force. The Regiment is organized into three ground cavalry squadrons, an air cavalry squadron, a support squadron and four separate companies. This formation traces its history back over 163 years to the Regiment of Mounted Riflemen fromed in 1846. "Brave Rifles!"
