314th Cavalry Regiment 1914–1921 (World War I) The 314th Cavalry Regiment was constituted in the National Army on 18 May 1917 and organized at Camp Stanley, Texas, in March 1918. During World War I, the regiment was broken up in August 1918 to form the 62nd and 63rd Field Artillery Regiments and the 21st Trench Mortar Battery. These artillery units served stateside and did not deploy overseas before the end of the war. The regiment was reconstituted in the Organized Reserve in 1921. 1922–1939 (Interwar Period) Reconstituted on 15 October 1921 in the Organized Reserve, the 314th Cavalry Regiment was assigned to the 64th Cavalry Division and headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. The regiment conducted regular training and participated in annual summer encampments, supporting the Army’s reserve cavalry mission during the interwar years. The unit remained active in this capacity until the outbreak of World War II. 1940–1947 (World War II) The 314th Cavalry Regiment was converted and redesignated as the 545th Signal Aircraft Warning Regiment on 30 January 1942, reflecting the Army’s shift in focus from traditional cavalry to modern warfare requirements. The regiment’s lineage as a cavalry unit ended with this conversion, and it did not serve as a cavalry formation during World War II.
