The regiment was deactivated in 1946 and completely disbanded in 1951. In February 1963 the regiment was constituted, again, in the Massachusetts Army National Guard, and organized in March 1963 to consist of the 1st Squadron, all being assigned to the 26th Infantry Division within the Combat Arms Regimental System (CARS). Reorganized in 1967, allotting Troop A, B, and D to Massachusetts Army National Guard, and to the Connecticut Army National Guard (CTNG); and again in 1971 reallotting Troop D to the Rhode Island Army National Guard (RING), and once more in 1986 allotting Troop A to CTNG. In 1988, the regiment was reorganized and redesignated as the 110th Cavalry Regiment; later, in 1989, the regiment was withdrawn from CARS and reorganized under the United States Army Regimental System. The regiment, as the 110th Cavalry, was relieved from the 26th Infantry Division in 1993.

Famous quotes containing the word units:

    Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
