56th Cavalry Brigade
The 56th Cavalry Brigade was a brigade of the Texas Army National Guard. Its legacy is carried by the modern-day 56th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. As part of a post First World War reorganization plan in 1919 the 51st through 59th Brigades were created and designated by the US Army as separate National Guard cavalry brigades, although they were notional units that existed mostly on paper. In 1936, four National Guard cavalry divisions were fashioned from pairing up the cavalry brigades. They formed the 21st (51st and 59th Cavalry Brigades), the 22nd (52d and 54th Cavalry Brigades), 23d (53d and 55th Cavalry Brigades), and the 24th (57th and 58th Cavalry Brigades) Cavalry Divisions. The remaining 56th Cavalry Brigade was designated a non-divisional cavalry brigade. In 1940, the US government began considering the value of mounted troops on the modern 20th-century battlefield. Although the fledgeling Armored Force was sorely in need of troops and funding, the Regular Army de ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
