7th Cavalry Brigade (United States)
The 7th Cavalry Brigade was a brigade of the United States Army, active from 1932 to 1940. Colonel Daniel Van Voorhis took 175 officers and enlisted men from Fort Eustis to Fort Knox in February 1932, establishing a Provisional Armored Car Platoon. This was based on an earlier effort but was predicated on a new Cavalry Regiment TO&E (Table of Organization and Equipment) published that year. Also published but never implemented was a cavalry division TO&E, which reflected the then unnatural assimilation of machines into the Horse Cavalry. Van Voorhis's cadre and platoon became the kernel for the 7th Cavalry Brigade, which went active on March 1, 1932, at Fort Knox. At first, it was nothing more than a headquarters detachment and the Armored Car Platoon. On 3 January 1933, the 1st Cavalry Regiment was relieved from assignment to the 1st Cavalry Division and was moved from Fort D.A. Russell to Fort Knox. The earlier Mechanized Platoon was incorporated into the new regimental TO&E, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

7th Support Group (United Kingdom)
The 7th Support Group was a supporting formation within the British 7th Armoured Division, active during the Second World War's Western Desert Campaign. History The 7th Support Group was formed from the expansion of the 7th Armoured Division's existing pivot group. The pivot group, and later the support group, controlled the division's motorised infantry, field artillery, anti-tank guns, and light anti-aircraft guns. While the artillery would provide support for the tanks on an attack, the infantry were intended to protect the division's base or occupy territory captured by the tanks and not supplement them. Towards the end of Operation Crusader, the support group joined the 1st Armoured Division for a couple of weeks before reverting to the command of the 7th Armoured Division. The 7th Support Group was abolished in February 1942, after Crusader came to an end, following a reorganization of the British armoured forces in North Africa. Commanders * Lieutenant-Colonel E. S.
