The 6-6 CAV history illustrates a legacy of valor, service, and professionalism consistent with the heritage and tradition of the 6th Cavalry Regiment. The 6th Cavalry's soldiers, both past and present are among the finest professional and extremely motivated individuals our nation offers. The Officers, Warrant Officers, enlisted Troopers, civilians and family members of this unit are a proud team dedicated to serving the nation.
On 4 May 1861, President Abraham Lincoln issued the second mobilization call for the North and the 3rd U.S. Cavalry was formed. The Regiment was redesignated the 6th U.S. Cavalry when congress reorganized cavalry units on 3 August 1861. By the end of the Civil War, the 6th valiantly fought through sixteen campaigns.
Since then the 6th U.S. Cavalry has participated in numerous major campaigns during the Indian Wars, The Spanish-American War, operations in China, the Phillipines, and Mexico, and World Wars I and II. Of note during WW II, the 6th U.S. Cavalry saw fierce fighting in five campaigns: Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland, and Central Europe. The unit earned its Presidential Unit Citation for its efforts at Betlange and Harlange. When hostilities ended in 1945, the Fighting Sixth Cavalry found itself on the Czechoslovakian-German border, and remained for occupation duty. The Sixth patrolled the border, but also assisted the Bavarian people, helping to heal war-torn Germany.
