Mission

2d Cavalry Regiment (2CR) provides V Corps with a lethal and agile force capable of rapid deployment throughout the European theater in order to Assure allies, Deter adversaries, and when ordered, Defend the NATO alliance. Unprecedented mobility and  persistent presence throughout the European theater, posture the Regiment to meet any threat and dictate the speed of combat. Dragoons excel at producing junior leaders able to operate under minimal guidance in a multinational environment. 

The Regiment fields Infantry Squads, Combat Vehicles, Javelins and is conducting operations ranging from reassuring partners through focused engagement in the Republic of Georgia, training with Stinger missile launchers in Greece, to conducting joint NATO mounted maneuvers in Poland. Critical to prototyping, testing and integrating new technology to enable the electromagnetic spectrum, the European Command theater provides 2CR an opportunity to inform innovation and doctrine, provide maneuver concepts and ultimately contribute to the Operational  Force.
