About Us

So You Want to Know More About the Cav?

You're thinking about joining the Cav or maybe you'd just like to know a bit more about us. You've come to the right place, the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment, home of the Yellow and Black.

We've been around since October 15th, 2002. We were founded on the principles of tactical realism and brotherhood in the Call of Duty days. Arma came along and after Arma 2 came out the Regiment really took off.

We've fluctuated up and down with numbers over the years. We've supported a number of different games and are always looking to add new and popular games that support tactical gameplay. As of this posting we are at approximately 300 active members.

1st Battalion, the 7th Cavalry Regiment is currently comprised of the following units:

• Alpha Company is the aviation element, consisting of both Fixed and Rotary aircraft pilots and crew.
• Bravo Troop is the Battalion Cavalry Troop which is comprised of one armor platoon and two mechanized infantry platoons utilizing M2A3 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Strykers and M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tanks.
• Charlie Company is the tip of the spear, with two platoons of Airborne infantrymen and an airborne support/sapper platoon.
• Echo Company is fully dedicated to Squad, the new tactical shooter based on project reality.
• Our Starter Platoon is currently in the process of starting up with the new WWII game, Post-Scriptum!
• We also have an active Ranger platoon that is comprised of members from throughout the Battalion who join together for special training and high payoff operations above and beyond what they do in their primary roles.
