4-2 ARB – 6th Cavalry

The history of the 4-2 Attack Reconnaissance Battalion goes back much further than the Apache Helicopter. The 3rd Squadron, 6th Cavalry was formed back in May 1861 and fought through the Civil War, Indian Wars, the Spanish-American War (as pictured here) and then throughout World War I and II. It was only just in 2006 that the 3rd Squadron, 6th Cavalry was re-activated as the 4th Battalion, 2nd Aviation Regiment.

2-1 ADA BN – Ichabod Crane

In 1814, the great American author Washington Irving met a young captain named Ichabod Crane. 6 years later, when Irving would write the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Ichabod Crane would provide the inspiration for the main character with his namesake. At the time CPT Crane commanded Battery B of the 1st Artillery – a unit that is still operational today as the 2nd BN 1st Air Defense Artillery in the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade.
