SIDE 2

The 124th Armored Cavalry is organic to the 49th Armored Division (1999) with units in Waco, Corsicana, Athens and Austin. Troop E 1/124th Cav Regiment is an Air Cavalry troop with OH-58A/C aircraft.

Organized from six existing units of the Texas National in Central Texas on 13 February, 1929, the 124th Cavalry is the youngest of the ten combat arms regiments of the Texas National Guard. The lineage of the various units of the 124th generally is traced to Texas cavalry deployed during the First World War for Mexican border security service. The 124th Cavalry Regiment was the last horse cavalry regiment of the US Army.
