The Reserve and Development Command (RDC) is responsible for administering all 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment growth efforts, from game identification, selection, mobilization, and growth through Starter Platoon to pre-Battalion. The department has full command of DEVCOM, the Auxiliary Combat Detachment, and the Reserve. The Branch is referred to as "RDC". The Department reports to Regimental Headquarters. The department was established on February 13th, 2025, when all functions were merged under a unified command system.

Introduction
