Garryowen. Air Cavalry. Vietnam. The 2/7th Cav Mission.
The 2nd Battalion, 7th Cavalry served as part of the 1st Air Cavalry Division — the Army's first airmobile division, which transformed battlefield mobility by combining helicopter assault with the firepower and aggressiveness of the cavalry tradition. The 7th Cavalry Regiment's battalions were at the center of the Battle of Ia Drang Valley in November 1965 — the first major engagement between US Army forces and the North Vietnamese Army, immortalized in We Were Soldiers Once… And Young. The Garryowen standard — named for the Irish air adopted as the regiment's march tune since 1866 — flew over every 2/7th Cav operation throughout the Vietnam War.
