    2d Stryker Cavalry Regiment History, Customs and Traditions of the “Second Dragoons” THE OLDEST CONTINUOUSLY SERVING MOUNTED REGIMENT IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY ESTABLISHED 1836 Left Blank Intentionally Dedicated To The soldiers of the 2d Cavalry Regiment who have steadfastly served their nation since 1836. Preface This document is a work of many hands and is intended to be a living reference for the soldiers who serve today as well as a record of the service of those who have preceded them. Special recognition is given to William Heidner and the others who were part of the original team who assembled this book at the direction of the Colonel of the Regiment.

By this effort we wish to carry on the traditions of this special unit and at the same time record the new chapters and pages of history written by today's Dragoons. We intend this to be a living document updated in accordance with the bi-annual schedule of 2d Cavalry Association reunions as well as the experiences and deployments of the Regiment. The content of this document is subject to copyright law and any reproduction or modification of the material here may be subject to approval of the 2d Cavalry Association and the Commanding Officer of the 2d Stryker Cavalry Regiment.
