Wasn't the 2nd ACR in the Battle of 73 Easting? That was after my time but the accounts are an amazing read.

What I read attributes the halts to waiting for fuel and other units to catch up. Not true?

Yes, we kept having to wait for VII Corps to catch up to us. Also, the Corps commander had a case of the slows. Read McGregor’s book Warriors Rage about it. My CO was the hero of the Battle and is now a LT General.
