S7 Training is a Staff Branch of the Regimental Headquarters. The S7 Branch consists of all Training functions in the 7th Cavalry Regiment. The branch executes all individual training, commands all 7th Cavalry Schools, and develops and implements training courses and material. The Branch is led by the S7, the training officer of the headquarters. The Second-In-Command of the Branch is the S7 XO, known as the S7 Operations or S7 Ops. The Branch's NCO adviser is the S7 Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge, or S7 NCO. The Branch is divided into two cells: the S7 (Training), and S7 (Leadership) cells. S7 Training is responsible to administer, command, and control all Regimental and Battalion/Area of Operations specific Schools.
