The 150th Cavalry Regiment ("The Second West Virginia"[1]) is a regiment of the West Virginia Army National Guard, with troops in multiple locations throughout West Virginia and one troop (part of the North Carolina Army National Guard) in Sanford, North Carolina. It was originally formed as Greenbrier County militia, fighting for Virginia in the American Revolutionary War. During the American Civil War, companies of the regiment loyal to the recognized Union state government in Wheeling were later combined to form the Union Army's 5th and 9th West Virginia Infantry regiments, aiding in the defeat of Confederate troops in West Virginia, Ohio and Virginia.
Headquartered in Bluefield, West Virginia, the 150th Cavalry is the sole armored and cavalry unit of the West Virginia National Guard. The 150th is part of the 30th Armored Brigade Combat Team, which is in turn part of the 29th Infantry Division; both formations include Army National Guard forces from multiple states.
In addition to its past American Revolutionary War and American Civil War service, the 150th Cavalry has also deployed in support of World War I, the Border War with Mexico, World War II, Operation Spartan Shield, the Iraq War and the intervention in Syria.[2]
