302d Cavalry Regiment 1914–1921 (World War I) The 302d Cavalry Regiment was constituted in the National Army on 18 May 1917 and organized at Camp Fremont, California, on 5 February 1918. The regiment was short-lived in its original form; it was broken up on 26 August 1918, with its personnel used to form the 48th and 64th Field Artillery Regiments and the 17th Trench Mortar Battery. These units were demobilized in early 1919 following the end of World War I. 1922–1939 (Interwar Period) The regiment was reconstituted in the Organized Reserves on 15 October 1921 and assigned to the 61st Cavalry Division. It was organized in 1922 with headquarters in Brooklyn, New York. During the interwar years, the 302d Cavalry Regiment conducted regular training and participated in annual maneuvers, maintaining readiness as part of the Army’s reserve cavalry force. 1940–1947 (World War II) The 302d Cavalry Regiment was converted and redesignated as the 62d Tank Destroyer Battalion on 30 January 1942, reflecting the Army’s shift away from horse cavalry to mechanized and armored units. The 62d Tank Destroyer Battalion was subsequently disbanded on 11 November 1944, and the 302d Cavalry Regiment was not reactivated after the war.
