100th Tank
NFH PIO On the second
day of March 1833 an act of Con
gress constituted a military unit
known as the United States Regi
ment of Dragoons whose mis
sion it was to protect pioneers
heading west in the great migra
tions of the last century.
And today the spirit of that
original group of soldiers still lives
with the 100th Tank Battalion one
of its direct descendants whose
history is rich with honor and
whose battle streamers range from
early 19th Centruy Indian campai
gns to the Rome Arno battles
of World War Two.
The Regiment of Dragoons was
known as such until 1861 when it
became the 1st Cavalry bearing
that name until about a year be
fore Pearl Harbor when after al
ready having given up its hors
es in exchange for armored cars
it became the 1st Armored regi
ment fighting with its present
division in the early days of World
War II in the campaigns of North
Africa and Italy.

Hood Unit Has Colorful
History Of Over 100 Years
Combat experience proved that
armored units of battalion size
were more maneuverable. For this
reason the 1st Armored Regiment
was broken up into the 1st and
2nd Battalions the former being
known as thg 1st Tank Battalion
and the second being disbanded.
The reactivation of the 2nd Bat
talion gave birth to what is now
known as the 100th Tank. It took
place on Feb. 27 1951 whereup
on the unit was assigned to the
1st Armored Division here at Fort
Hood.
Today the 100th Tank Battal
ion is stationed at North Fort Hood
with a support mission which be
gan last June and will close at
the end of August when the 45th
Infantry Division (NG) of Okla
homa completes its two week
training cycle. At that time the
Battalion will then join the rest
of the division on a TO&E basis.
The present commander of the
unit is Lt. Col. Kelton S. Davis
who replaced Lt. Col Merle Good
rich last month.
The evolution of the mechaniz
ed unit from the early day cav
alryman is an interesting one in
deed. The traditional American
cavalryman was the Light Dra
goon armed and trained to fight
on foot as well as mounted.
Light Dragoons had served in
the Revolution and War of 1812
but the corps was disbanded in
1815. For a number of years there
after the Regular Army was with
out a mounted force. During this
time the Indian frontier lay in for
est areas and cavalry was of rel
atively little value infantry suffic
ing to police the frontier.
In time the Army moving west
ward came into contact with the
mounted Plains Indian and it was
found that the slow-moving infan
try could not compete with the
new adversary.
After considerable discussion in
the Army and Congress provis
ions were made for organizing a
battalion of mounted rangers. Ex
perience with this battalion prov
ed the value of horsed units but
it also indicated the importance
of having them properly trained
and disciplined. As a result in
1833 the Regiment of Dragoons
at Jerferson Barracks Missouri
and Fort Gibson Arkansas Terri
tory with many of its officers and
men coming from the former bat
talion of Rangers. Among them
was Henry Dodge who was as
signed to command the new reg
iment.
Dodge had gained his military
experience in the Missouri mili
tia where he rose to the rank of
