5th Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment
"Garryowen"
By joining 5th Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment, you are joining a disciplined outfit with a prestigious history that stretches back to 1866. The Squadron today consists of a Headquarters Troop, three Reconnaissance Troops and a Forward Support Company which stands ready to deploy and conduct reconnaissance and security operations in order to enable freedom of action in support of 1st ABCT (Raider) full spectrum operations. The centerpiece of the Squadron however remains you, the US Cavalryman, and we are looking forward to you riding with us as we write the next chapter of this Squadron's history.
We are fortunate to be part of the Fort Stewart community and Coastal Georgia. You will find a multitude of attractions in historic Savannah, as well as nearby Hilton Head, SC and Jacksonville, FL. Fort Stewart is a great post with numerous agencies that provide the essentials to Troopers and their Families. I recommend you access them through this website to familiarize yourself with what support agencies operate on post and in the surrounding area.
The Squadron also prides itself in our support to families and the community. Through energetic Family Support Groups and social media outlets such as our Facebook page, we ensure you and your family have access to the latest news and happenings within the Squadron. You can find posts and pictures from Troopers and family members as well as learn of upcoming events on Fort Stewart and within the local community. While this will assist you in preparing for life at Fort Stewart, your new Cavalry Family is readily available and would like to help minimize any potential problems you may encounter upon your arrival. ** To gain access to the Facebook page and to maintain security, please request in "invite" through the S-1.
Once we receive notification that you will be joining the Squadron, you will be assigned a sponsor and he/she will be contacting you with specifics in reference to your future duty position and assist in your relocation. Any questions you may have concerning your new assignment prior to your sponsor contacting you may be addressed directly to the Squadron Adjutant (S-1) or by calling Staff Duty at (912) 767-3395.
Whether this is your first assignment or you have served with the Cavalry before, welcome to the Squadron and I look forward to serving with you. Your first priority upon arrival is to get your family set in the local area and then be prepared to train! GARRYOWEN!
