World War II US Cavalry Units : Pacific Theater

At the time of Pearl Harbor, the United States Army still had ten cavalry regiments. The 26th (Filipino Scouts) fought on horseback in the Philippines, while the rest were fought as infantry. Despite this, the cavalry units maintained their own unique traditions, and identity as they saw action in the Pacific and China-Burma-India theatre. This book covers all of the US cavalry units to see action during World War II. It includes the little-covered Texan National Guard regiments, who fought beside ex-Merrill's Marauders as a deep penetration unit. It also contains color-plates of the uniforms.

  • "Little has been published on US armored infantry units and tactics over the years. However, their contribution to the war effort was hugely important. There were a total of 57 armored infantry battalions and two regiments that served throughout the war and in all theaters. Equipped with halftracks, they fought as part of combined arms teams and combat commands alongside tanks, tank destroyers and artillery battalions. Significantly, they were not simply standard infantry battalions provided with halftracks. Their company and platoon organization was very different from the standard infantry un."@en

While retaining their calvary identity, organization and traditions, these units then saw action as infantry. Regiments of 1st Calvary Division took part in the notoriously vicious street fighting for Manila in early 1945;and the Texas NG 124th Calvary was brigaded with the ex-Merrills Marauders to fight deep-penetration unit in the Chinese, Burmese and Indian theaters."
