unit_name= 3rd Cavalry Division Shoulder Sleeve Insignia
The United States Army's 3rd Cavalry Division was created from the perceived need for additional cavalry units. Going into World War II, the US Army Cavalry was contained three Regular, four National Guard, and six Organized Reserve cavalry divisions as well as one independent cavalry brigade (56th, Texas National Guard).
The 3rd Cavalry Division was largely a "paper" formation existing from 1927 to 1940. Its units were never assembled in a single location. The division's shoulder sleeeve insignia was approved on 17 February 1928.
