“The Dragoon is a great symbol that embodies many of the values and qualities that 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment Soldiers possess to this day.”
LTC Bryan Denny, deputy commander, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment


Evening...

The info hounds were busy overnight and tipped off a number of stories, photos and a video covering the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment. I think you will enjoy all of them as they show the 2nd SCR as a complete package - conducting combat operations, working with Iraqi leaders in the Diyala province and relaxing at Forward Operating Base Warhorse.

I will say it again...these men and women have done a marvelous job throughout this deployment. We have so much to be thankful for.

Our warriors are indeed the backbone of America...
