History of the current Colonel of the Regiment
My name is Brown, I actually served with 2nd Cavalry Regiment(Stryker) in Vilseck, Germany from 2011-2014. Deployed with 2CR 2013-2014 to Afghanistan as a team leader. Yes, we wore stetson's ($150 for a hat with pins and cord, total $175) only Fridays and special events or wearing it around the barracks in underwear if your drunk. I did earn my gold(combat) spurs not silver(Spur ride). I'm also member of 2d Cavalry Association. I do have experience being in a cavalry unit, leadership, and traditions...it's not bad! Always Ready!
The Birth of the Regiment
To respond to the increasing trouble in Florida during the Second Seminole War, President
Andrew Jackson issued an executive order 23 May 1836 forming the Second Regiment of
Dragoons. Congress appropriated $300,000 for the Regiment, and the headquarters were
established in June 1836 in Washington, DC.
Colonel David Emmanuel Twiggs was the First Colonel of the Regiment. Nicknamed "Old
Davey" or the "Bengal Tiger," his troops claimed that he could "curse them right out of their
boots." Lieutenant Colonel William Selby Harney was second in command, and later became
the Second Colonel of the Regiment. His temper was as fiery as his flaming red hair, and
although brutal on the field of battle, his imaginative and conscientious leadership helped to
shape the character of the Regiment. Twiggs and Harney set the initial tone of the Regiment and
fostered many of its enduring qualities.
Recruiting began immediately. Companies A and I were organized in the Fort Myer Virginia
area. Company B obtained recruits in Virginia and Louisiana, Harney‟s home state, while
Company C recruited from Tennessee. Companies B and C were not listed on the Regiment‟s
active returns until April 1837. Company D was organized from a detachment of the First
Dragoons in Florida and saw service there immediately. Companies E, F, G, and H recruited
mostly from New York, and Company K was recruited from New Orleans and activated in
March 1837.
In April 1837, the Regimental headquarters was moved to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, where a
“School of the Trooper” was organized for the remaining companies, numbering over 400 new
recruits. The new troopers were excited to get their training under way. As fast as the “green”
horses were received they were introduced to their new riders, equally “green” at horsemanship.
It was said that their “ambitious mounting in hot haste” frequently resulted in their immediate
dismounting. Veterans noted that their “quickness of time and variety of motions” were
unparalleled in mounted tactics.
