A New Army Brigade Cavalry Squadron: The Multi-Purpose Cavalry Squadron

Abstract

The following thesis was motivated by a desire to improve reconnaissance and cavalry formations within the United States Army. Many of the ideas were inspired by the great scouts and leaders in the 1st Squadron, 91st Cavalry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, with whom it was my honor to serve. The intended audience for this paper includes the leadership of the Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Benning, Georgia, as well as the TRADOC Capability Managers that guide the development of each of the types of brigades. This paper was written with the intent of helping to further develop the formation and use of reconnaissance assets at the brigade level, ultimately increasing the ability of our soldiers to fight and win our nation s wars. With this intent in mind, I humbly submit my recommendations.
