The training that a U.S. Army Cavalry Scout has to undergo starts with basic training for nine weeks. Then it’s on to Individual advanced training, including Station One Unit Training.

Training never really stops for the Cavalry Scout, they are always working to maintain a very high level of mission readiness and battle preparedness.

    Riding horses is a false idea. We did have a show team at Ft. Hood, TX to memorialize our heritage (of the 1st Cavalry) but the typical scout doesn’t ride a horse, we have trucks or helicopters (helos: the best new horse giving even longer range field of view; but now adays you have to be an officer in the high tech Delta model scout 🙂 Scouts out!
