Unit History & Information
The 3rd Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, known as the Thunderbolts, served with the 82nd Airborne Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team. Its cavalry chapter began during the Army's conversion to modular brigade combat teams. Army reporting dates the squadron's activation to August 2006. The organization brought reconnaissance capabilities into the Devil Brigade, combining the skills of scouts, vehicle crews, communications personnel, and the Soldiers supporting them.
A 2009 Army account describes squadron Soldiers competing in the Excellence in Armor program. The evaluation included vehicle identification, map work, equipment knowledge, and other skills needed by reconnaissance personnel. Another report from that year documents a Thunderbolts spur ride, bringing cavalry traditions into the airborne brigade. The event tested Soldiers' endurance, knowledge, and ability to work together. These accounts give concrete examples of squadron life beyond a generic list of reconnaissance tasks.
