Description

The Disney Studio combat design for the 19th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron,Mechanized was proudly represented by Horace Hoursecollar. They fought their way through the Rhineland and Central Europe.
"The mechanized cavalry sqadrons were organized with three Cavalry Troops, lettered A to C, each equipped with 13 M8 armored cars and jeeps; an Assault Gun Troop, E, with six M8 HMC; a Light Tank Company, F, with 17 M5 Stuart, or later M24, tanks; a Service Company; and an H&H Company.
After war analysis showed that pure reconnaissance missions accounted for only 3 percent of their activities. Defensive operations ( 33%); special operations "including acting as mobile reserve, providing for security and control of rear areas, and operating as an army information service" ( 29% ) ; security missions "blocking, screening, protecting flanks, maintaining contact between units, and filling gaps" ( 25% ); and offensive operations ( 10% )." --- Insigne published in DISNEY DONS DOGTAGS by Walton Rawls, Abbeville Press, 1992, p91.
