	THE LEGACY OF THE MECHANIZED CAVALRY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Cavalry's absence from the Korean War is noteworthy in that at least one distinguished military professional, General James M. Gavin, blames the absence of cavalry for the defeats the US Army suffered in the first year of the war.
		Cavalry regiments and squadrons would have provided security forward and to the flanks of the American main body, and delayed the Chinese once the attack was discovered.(12) The failures that befell the Army when it operated without cavalry in Korea demonstrate the impact of cavalry on operations.
		The current heavy cavalry structure is not strategically mobile, although the light cavalry regiment is. Restructuring the cavalry regiment as discussed previously to achieve an optimum balance of strategic mobility and fire power, based on the AGS, is the solution to this problem.

		Today's cavalry has traded four-hoofed mounts for heavily armored tanks, fighting vehicles, and helicopters in a combined arms force that is prepared for combat against much larger forces.
		This time, the focus is on an Army armored cavalry regiment, its equipment and personnel, the history of armored cavalry, and two short fictional scenarios depicting the use of this type of unit in combat.
		Clearly, Clancy knows the Armored Cav he is writing about is too heavy to rapidly deploy and he is trying to "nudge" it in the right direction without the 2-D tanker-mentality realizing it will have to fly in aircraft and parachute jump and have a negative knee-jerk reaction.
