	Since its start, ACD has worked heavily with the Chief of Staff and the Special Projects Division in conjunction with the Future Concepts Center to research, develop, and bring new games to the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment. These include: Digital Combat Simulator, Hell Let Loose Console (the first console game in the 7th Cavalry's history), Ready or Not, Squad, and Star Citizen. DCS was formerly stood up as the 3-7 Battalion on April 1st, 2024. As of June 14, 2025, C/ACD was stood down as the home for Squad as it transitioned to the newly reopened 3-7 Battalion. Battlefield 6 would be stood up as C/ACD as the ~~most newly~~ promoted game out of [https://wiki.7cav.us/wiki/Development_Command DEVCOM], the sucessor to the Special Projects Divison.
