The 305th Cavalry Regiment was constituted on 18 May 1917 in the National Army and organized on 15 February 1918 at Camp Stanley, Texas. The regiment was short-lived during World War I, as it was broken up on 18 August 1918 to form the 44th and 45th Field Artillery Regiments and the 15th Trench Mortar Battery. These units were demobilized in early 1919 following the end of the war. The 305th Cavalry Regiment was reconstituted in the Organized Reserve on 15 October 1921 and assigned to the 62nd Cavalry Division, with headquarters initially in New York City. The regiment remained part of the Organized Reserve until it was disbanded on 18 October 1943 during World War II. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/305th_Cavalry_Regiment_(United_States)
