First Brigade Combat Team of Task Force All American.


This doesn't sound familiar. As many times as my son has tried to tell me what his designation is I get confused.Third corps, 1st Cav, 1-7, Gary Owen. Maybe somebody could help me figure it out so it is less confusing.

your son is in a troop (company) in the 1-7 CAV Squadron Garry Owen, (a battalion sized element plus), which is a supporting unit of the 1st CAV Division, which is flagged under 3 Corps. I've spent time in 1st CAV and with a sister 4-7 CAV Squadron Garry Owen in Korea...
