The title for this article is wrong - it should be U.S. 2nd Cavalry Regiment. 2d is not a proper numerical representation.
We used 2nd Armored Cavalry, 2nd Armd Cav, (2A/C maybe), the 3 years I was there 1962-1965. I never saw 2d from us, VII Corps, or 7th Army.,----
Official Army designations do indeed use 2d and 3d; however, people tend to use 2nd and 3rd because that's what they're accustomed to using. For examples of official designations, see the US Army Center of Military History website at

re the last sentence:In 2006 1st Brigade of the 25th Infantry Division, reflagged as the 2d Stryker Cavalry Regiment and restationed to Rose Barracks, Vilseck, Germany.: that sentence is not clear. so the 25th ID lost a brigade? what's that got to do the 2d ACR? Mct mht 05:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment → 2nd Cavalry Regiment (United States) — Title of article should be changed so that it is in accordance with the Wikipedia military unit naming convention. Only a fraction of the units exsistance has been as a "Stryker" unit. There is a naming convention in place, let's use it. Joshuashearn ( talk) 19:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
In the graphical representation of the structure, it seems that the Anti Armor, MI, Engineer, and Signal troops stand alone and do not fall under any of the squadrons. Yet right next to it on the written description of the structure, the troops belong to specific squadrons. Which one is it???-- Shovonma17 ( talk) 05:14, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
According to Sawicki's lineage book, the 2nd Cav does not have a campaign streamer for the Philippines. Although most active regiments did rotate through the Philippines prior to World War I, I'm not sure we should list it as an engagement if it doesn't line up with official records and campaign participation credit. Thoughts? Intothatdarkness ( talk) 14:03, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
I believe the campaign streamers refer to periods of active combat when the US was subjugating the Filipinos (1898-1902), and that streamers are not awarded for periods of non-combat occupation. VilePig ( talk) 23:48, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
After six months in Haiti, 1st Squadron arrived to replace 3rd Squadron. 2nd Squadron replaced 3rd Squadron in October 1995 and redeployed in March 1996 completing the cycle

Infantry battalions have companies while cavalry squadrons have troops; however, in this article I see squadrons with companies. I'm aware that such units are often predominately infantry and the infantrymen, to emphasize their MOSs, favor calling their units companies instead of troops. What is the official, DA-approved designation? Companies or troops? I suspect the latter. VilePig ( talk) 23:48, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
I checked with the US Army Center of Military History which confirmed the units are officially designated as troops, not companies, even though the 2d is known for calling its units by other than correct designations.

I'm a soldier currently serving in 2CR and the companies are called Troops.. We used to be Comanche Company, however DA required us to change our headers and put "Troop" in. I suggest that the article be changed to reflect this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.76.165.246 ( talk) 05:50, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

2d Stryker Cavalry Regiment → 2nd Cavalry Regiment (United States) – The current name of the unit; Stryker has been dropped from its name, and 2nd is the correct format. — innotata 18:30, 22 July 2014 (UTC) Support rename. The original change, IMO, was shortsighted. Intothat darkness 20:45, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Didn't this division have any role in Vietnam, I'm sure they did, so why isn't it included in this wikipedia?
