Unit History & Information
The 1st Squadron, 17th Cavalry’s association with the 82nd Airborne Division grew from the consolidation of the 82nd Airborne Reconnaissance Company with Troop A, 17th Cavalry in 1957. The squadron organization followed in May 1964. Its reconnaissance role combined work on the ground with support from the air: the Army’s history of the 1983 Grenada campaign describes a ground cavalry troop equipped with jeeps alongside three air cavalry troops. That ground-scout element provides the context for the Troop A identity commemorated here, within the division’s broader cavalry reconnaissance tradition.
