What is a unit of cavalry men?
Normally, during the Vietnam War, when a man asked what unit you were with, you'd reply, "...3/5 Cav", or "1st of the O' Duce (1/502nd)", etc. Therefore, when asking about a man's unit, the question was normally referring to his battalion of his particular regiment. Reference to the above examples; the 3/5 Cav means 3rd Squadron 5th Cavalry...and the "1st of the O'Duce" meant 1st battalion of the 502nd Infantry. If the fella asking the question wanted something other than the unit, he'd ask, "What Troop are ya with?" or "What company are ya with?" (those were designated by letters, such as "A" Troop or "B" Company), or "Whose platoon are you with?" (those were numbered, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). For divisions (patches were sewn on the shoulders, when sewing & patches were available); the question would be, "What division are you guys?" Therefore, a "unit" of US Cavalrymen would be a battalion of air cavalrymen (standard infantrymen=grunts), and that could vary between 600 and 900 men. A "unit" of US Army armored cavalry was called a SQUADRON (not a battalion) and had TROOPS (not companies) and since they were mechanized, they'd had about 900 to 1200 in the squadron. Two or more squadrons equalled a cavalry regiment. Only ONE full cav regiment was in Vietnam...the Blackhorse regiment, the 11th ACR (Armored Cavalry Regiment) commanded by the son of WWII General Patton...Colonel George S. Patton Jr.
