Join the Blackhorse Association and become part of a community dedicated to supporting the troops, veterans, and families of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. As a member, you’ll stay connected through our Blackhorse E-News, which shares stories of interest, Blackhorse history, upcoming reunion events, regimental updates, and OP Alpha news. In addition, membership provides access to programs from the Association of the United States Army, including access to their magazine, national initiatives, and discounts on hundreds of products and services.
By joining and continuing the ride, you’ll also contribute directly to the well-being of Blackhorse families, including access to exclusive scholarship opportunities for our members. These scholarships help support the college education of the next generation of Troopers’ families, while honoring the Troopers’ service and sacrifice. Help us continue the Blackhorse legacy, support our soldiers, and make a difference for their families today.
Please note that if you’re a current member of the 11th ACR, a family member of a fallen Trooper, or a member of the 11th Armored Cavalry’s Veterans of Vietnam & Cambodia, you’re eligible for free membership.
Benefits of Membership in The Blackhorse Association
- Help preserve the promise made on March 20, 1969, on a battlefield in Vietnam to “not let people forget us” and to “take care of our kids.” Every year we provide numerous scholarships to the children of U.S. Military Veterans.
- Support each other by keeping alive an amazing network of Veterans, and join us as we organize regional and national events for us to gather and reminisce. Each year, we have a national reunion that includes Troopers, families, and friends from all periods of service with the 11th Cavalry. We support several national events each year, and mini-reunions are held throughout the U.S. in areas that are close to you.
- Support the continued excellence within the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment. Our Association provides support to Troopers, NCOs, and families who are stationed at Fort Irwin, California.
- Be a part of a noble mission that sustains the legacy of the Blackhorse, which has existed during 125 years of unbroken service to the United States.
