[PAR] [TLE] 1st Cavalry Division (United States) [SEP] The 1st Cavalry Division ("First Team") is a combined arms division and is one of the most decorated combat divisions of the United States Army, as well as the other four branches of the U.S. military.  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 2017, the 1st Cavalry Division is subordinate to III Corps and is commanded by Major General John C. Thomson III. [PAR] [TLE] United States Cavalry [SEP] The United States Cavalry, or U.S. Cavalry, was the designation of the mounted force of the United States Army from the late 18th to the early 20th century.  The Cavalry branch became the Armor branch with tanks in 1950, but the term "Cavalry" such as "armored cavalry" remains in use in the U.S. Army for mounted (ground and aviation) reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA) units based on their parent Combat Arms Regimental System (CARS) regiment.  "Cavalry" is also used in the name of the 1st Cavalry Division for heraldic/lineage/historical purposes.  Some combined arms battalions (i.e., consisting of a combination of tank and mechanized infantry companies) are designated as "armor" formations, while others are designated as "infantry" organizations.  These "branch" designations are again, heraldic/lineage/historical titles derived from the CARS regiments to which the battalions are assigned.
