ARMY DIVISION OF THE DAY

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Cavalry_Division_(United_States)

I RETIRED FROM THE 1ST CAVARLY DIVISION IN 2014. WHAT AN HONOR TO SERVE WITH THE FINE MEN/WOMEN OF THE 1ST CAV DIV.

The 1st Cavalry Division ("First Team")[1] is a combined arms division and is one of the most decorated combat divisions of the United States Army.[2] It is based at Fort Hood, Texas. It was formed in 1921 and served during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, with the Stabilization Force in Bosnia-Herzegovina, in the Iraq War, in the War in Afghanistan and in Operation Freedom's Sentinel. As of October 2017, the 1st Cavalry Division is subordinate to III Corps and is commanded by Major General Paul T. Calvert.

The unit is unique in that it has served as a Cavalry (horse) Division, an Infantry Division, an Air Assault Division and an Armored Division throughout its existence.
