3rd Recon Sqdrn - 17th Cavalry Regt

The 17th Cavalry Regiment was constituted on 1 July 1916 at Fort Bliss, Texas. The Regiment remained in the United States during World War I and was inactivated in 1921.

The Regiment was reactivated and redesignated as the 7th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron (Mechanized) and participated in the breakout from Normandy in 1944. After World War II, the Squadron was redesignated as the 17th Armored Cavalry Group and inactivated on 9 March 1951. Six years later, on 1 March 1957, the troop was reconstituted in the Regular Army as Troop C (Reconnaissance) (Airborne), 17th Cavalry. Concurrently, the unit was consolidated with the 11th Airborne Reconnaissance Troop and assigned to the 11th Airborne Division in Europe. On 1 July 1958 the unit was relived from assignment to the 11th Airborne Division. Shortly thereafter, on 15 November 1958, Troop C, 17th Cavalry was inactivated in Europe.
