It’s sad . An armored cavalry regiment is as extinct as a coast artillery regiment .

The Army has been fighting a counter-insurgency war for the last 20 years and more. That is a 300-meter war. Troops can call for arty and air for anything farther out. The limitations of the enemy have stunted the the Armys long range thinking. Maneuver warfare is very different. It REQUIRES real armored cavalry, which we now have not had long enough that there is no institutional knowledge of how to use it or how to do it. No other army had anything like US armored cavalry and we foolishly threw it away.

So perhaps we need a parallel thread... "Modern Armored Cavalry Regiment TOE wanted."
