![[1st Cavalry Organizational Color]](../images/u/us^1cav.gif)

The First Cavalry Division is the only U.S. Army cavalry division to have seen action in modern times. During WW II it served in the Pacific; though designated as a cavalry division and composed of cavalry regiments, it was functionally an infantry division.
During the Vietnam War, the division was designated the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), i.e. a helicopter-mobile infantry division. Today it is organized as an armored division.
Like armored divisions, the 1st Cav's organizational flag is a horizontal bicolor, red over yellow, with yellow fringe and the division's shoulder sleeve insignia centered. The organizational flags of the division's organic brigades also follow the pattern for armored
divisions.
