On order the 4th Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment transitions to War and performs reconnaissance and security operations to allow 2nd Infantry Division to execute OPLAN 5027. In December 2004, Camps Stanton and Gary Owen were closed. Also, as part of the transformation of the 2nd Infantry Division to the US Army's new modular force structure, its divisional cavalry squadron was inactivated. Each modular maneuver brigade under the modular force structure recieved an organic cavalry squadron. 4th Squadron, 7th Cavalry was reorganized and reassigned as the organic cavalry element of the reorganized 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division and moved to Camp Hovey to continue its mission."
