305th Cavalry Regiment 1914–1921 (World War I) The 305th Cavalry Regiment was constituted in the National Army on 18 May 1917 and organized at Camp Stanley, Texas, in February 1918. The regiment was short-lived in its original form; on 15 August 1918, it was broken up to form the 44th and 45th Field Artillery Regiments and the 15th Trench Mortar Battery. These artillery units were demobilized in December 1918 following the end of World War I. 1922–1939 (Interwar Period) The regiment was reconstituted in the Organized Reserve on 15 October 1921 as the 305th Cavalry Regiment and assigned to the 62nd Cavalry Division. It was headquartered in New York City, with subordinate units located in New York and New Jersey. During the interwar years, the regiment conducted regular training and participated in equestrian and military exercises, maintaining readiness as part of the Army’s reserve cavalry force. 1940–1947 (World War II) The 305th Cavalry Regiment was converted and redesignated as the 544th Signal Aircraft Warning Regiment on 30 January 1942, reflecting the Army’s shift in focus to modern warfare requirements. The unit’s cavalry lineage ended with this conversion, and it did not serve as a cavalry regiment during World War II.
