Delta Company, 1st Battalion was an Infantry Company tasked with Mechanized and Motorized Infantry operations. It was administratively known as D/1-7. The Company had three Platoons, and was de-activated in 2014. The Company was reassigned to the Air Cavalry Vietnam Area of Operations and reactivated in 2016, and then de-activated again in 2018.

Traditions and History

Delta Company traces its lineage back to Charlie Company, of the 1st Battalion. By 2009, the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment had launched their Arma 2 presence, and Charlie Company supported the 1st Battalion with Mechanized Infantry. By 2011, the Regiment had expanded its Arma 2 presence and split mechanized and light infantry roles. Thus, Delta Company was created and assigned Mechanized Infantry, and Charlie Company remained in the light infantry role.

Arma 2 & Arma 3 Area of Operations

Delta Company was activated in 2011 as Mechanized and Motorized Infantry. The Company supplemented Light Infantry in Charlie Company, and primarily operated alongside Armor and Artillery in Bravo Company. Delta Company was de-activated in 2014, when all Mechanized infantry capabilities were transferred to Bravo Company.

Air Cavalry Vietnam Area of Operations

In 2016, following interest in the new Arma 3 Modification: Air Cav Vietnam, a new starter platoon was launched. The game garnered enough interest that recruitment began to expand quickly. The Platoon was officially designated Delta Company in 2017. The Company was Combined-Arms. The Company was de-activated in 2018, and returned to inactive status.
