Traditions and History
Alpha Company is a sub-unit level organization of the Auxiliary Combat Detachment, 7th Cavalry Regiment. It was administratively known as A/ACD, this abbreviation is used in MILPACS and avatars. It is comprised of one platoon, 1/A/ACD.
History
Prior to October 2021, Alpha Company began operations in April 2020 as Detachment 5620, HHC, 7th Cavalry Regiment on a trial basis to determine future success. The Escape from Tarkov AO was the first home of A/ACD in the early days of the ACD Standup. They would be here from 15JUN21 until their departure as a group and subsequent stand down on 2APR22. Digital Combat Simulator, DCS, would move in just a month later. Due to unprecedented growth, Alpha Company was split from the Auxiliary Combat Detachment and formed the newly minted 3-7 Battalion on April 1st, 2024. This is the first time in the Cav's history with three individual battalions since its start in 2002. Alpha Company was subsequently deactivated that same day. Unfortunately, due to low membership, 3rd Battalion was stood down and the remaining members of DCS were transferred back to their original home.
