Welcome
Are you a Life Member of the 1CD Association?
A non-political, non-sectarian, non-profit Soldiers and Veterans fraternity.
On July 17, 1944, a group of FIRST TEAM Soldiers in the Admiralty Islands agreed to form an Association of 1st Cavalry Division Soldiers and Veterans to preserve old friendships and conduct periodic reunions. The Association held its first reunion in 1948 in El Paso, Texas and was incorporated in Washington, DC in 1949.
Anyone who has been assigned or attached to the 1st Cavalry Division anytime, anywhere, is eligible for Life membership. There are more than 28,000 men and women on our active membership rolls.
We are a group of Soldiers and former Soldiers from privates to 4-star generals who share a bond of service with the FIRST TEAM. We are dedicated to supporting the 1st Cavalry Division and each other. Once Cav, always Cav!
