Yes, the U.S. Army did employ Cavalry Units during World War One. First, they had Cavalry Regiments assigned to the Mexican Border, as German was trying to influence Mexico in entering the war against the U.S. Second, in France. These units were employed as rear guard units, to patrol and security. In addition several regiments were used on the front lines for recon, sometimes dismounted and sometimes mounted, depending on the terrain. One particular unit, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment saw action and were involved in an attack on a fortified German trench line. They were repulsed with heavy casulties.

The 19th Hussars charge at Brancourt on 8 October 1918 with just one month remaining in WW-1 may be the final horse mounted event in the Great War. It certainly wasn't the end of horses in the military. The US 2nd Cavalry finally dismounted in 1944. In WW-2 several nations still had and used mounted Cavalry. Notable among them were the Poles in the defense of their homeland, the Russian Cossacks, and the Italians. In the Phillipenes the US 26th Cavalry mounted a charge against Japanese Forces on Luzon on 16 January 1942. The Sikh Sowars of the British Front Force Cavalry also fought the Japanese on 21 March 1942 in Burma.
