New! Tim Jackman on a recent visit to Ft Bragg found the 73rd Armor is now
the 73rd Cavalry Regiment. He didn't find the unit on post but there were
Unit crests, decals and embroidered patches available.
Lewis Witt has visited the old Fort Beavers site in September
2013, which is now occupied by the ROK Army 38th Tank Battalion, 26th Mech Division. Share his story and pictures
by going to the 1963-1964 tab.
