	~~While neither ride horses into battle today, the U.S. '''7th Cavalry Division''', assigned to the [[1st Cavalry Division]], has one of the more colorful histories among~~ [[United States Army]] units. Although only part was wiped out at the [[Battle of the Little Big Horn]] under the command of [[George Armstrong Custer]], it will always be known as the "Custer Regiment". That history was very much in the minds of helicopter-riding 7th Cavalry troopers at the [[Battle of the Ia Drang]], in the intense fighting at [[Battle of the Ia Drang#LZ X-Ray\|LZ X-Ray]] and the even more desperate combat at [[Battle of the Ia Drang#~~LZ Albany\|LZ Albany~~]].		#REDIRECT [[United States Army#Units]]

	~~It is no longer actually organized as a regiment, but its battalions still use the traditional song and greeting "Garryowen" after an Irish ballad.~~
