(2nd/14th QMI) was reformed as an armoured car squadron, before being increased to a full regiment in 1950. In 1956, it converted to an anti-tank unit, equipped initially with 6-pounder and 17-pounder guns, before receiving 120 mm anti-tank guns and recoilless rifles. In 1960, "A" Squadron became part of the regular army, eventually being transferred to become "B" Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment in 1966. At the same time, 2nd/14th QMI was re-designated as a cavalry regiment, re-equipping with armoured vehicles. The regiment was reduced to a squadron in 1976, before expanding again to a full regiment in 1980, being renamed the 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment (Queensland Mounted Infantry) (2nd/14th LHR (QMI)) in 1981, equipped with the M113 vehicle in the armoured support role. In 1986, the regiment became an integrated unit consisting of Regular Army and Reserve soldiers. It converted to the reconnaissance role in 1992, and was re-equipped with the ASLAV vehicle between 2001–2004. In March 2005, the regiment became a completely regular unit to meet the Army's increased operational tempo. Since this date elements of the regiment have made a number of operational deployments. 2nd/14th LHR (QMI) has contributed a number of SECDET rotations to Iraq. In 2006, A Squadron was deployed to Iraq to serve as part of the third rotation of the Al Muthanna Task Group which became the first rotation of Overwatch Battle Group (West).

On 30 August 2012, Lance Corporal Stjepan Milosevic, 40, from the Regiment was killed – along with Private Robert Poate, 23, from 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (6 RAR) and Sapper James Martin, 21, from 2nd Combat Engineer Regiment (2 CER) – by an Afghan National Army soldier in a 'green on blue' incident at a patrol base north of Tarin Kowt. In October 2016 the Regiment began the process of being restructuring under Plan Beersheba, with B Squadron replacing its ASLAVs with M113AS4s to provide combat lift to the 7th Brigade.
