UPDATE October 2007: We are moving to a new 'official' website for the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment! The Regimental site has moved. Click the link below. The reason is The Department of Defense and National Guard Bureau regulations concerning Military Unit Websites require that unit websites be placed on military servers. The Regimental site has moved to a Tennessee Army National Guard computer server. So please come and visit but please be patient with us as the new site is still a "work in progress". To get to our new site, just click the link below. NEW WEBSITE: https://tn.ngb.army.mil/tnmilitary/Army/278/ --- THANK YOU! N2theNet provided the hosting resources for this Regimental site and their support and assistance helped make our transition over to the military server as smooth as possible. --- "I Volunteer Sir" is a common phrase heard in the 278th ACR. The 278th is headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee. It is the only enhanced Armored Cavalry Regiment in the National Guard and one of only two in the United States Army. With units located throughout Tennessee, the regiment is rich with the volunteer tradition which has been part of "The Volunteer State" since 1780 when Colonel John Sevier called for "100 good men" and 200 answered. The regiment was called to active duty and mobilized as the 278th Regimental Combat Team (278th RCT). Mobilization training was completed at Camp Shelby, Mississippi in November 2004 and then the unit deployed to Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom III. The 278th Regimental Combat Team included units from Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Vermont. The 278th RCT completed its mission in Iraq and redeployed to the States during October/November 2005 and then completed demobilization at Camp Shelby, MS; Fort Drum, NY and Fort McCoy, WI. All units are back at home station and busy training for any future state or national need. |
