About Our Cavalry Guidon Nylon Flag
U.S. Army cavalry regiments (actually armored recon and air cavalry) have red-over-white guidons with the regimental number over the troop letter. This is the type of guidon used by separate squadrons of the cavalry, i.e. the one-squadron regiments which provide the armored recon element within divisions. Multi-squadron cavalry regiments are brigade-sized formations which provide the recon element within a corps. The guidons for troops of these regiments have the squadron letter horizontally centered near the hoist, so that it is white on the red half of the guidon and red on the white half.
