1st Reconnaissance Squadron

14th Armored Cavalry Regiment

Fulda, Germany

1961 – 1964

Regimental Colors and massed guidons of the three squadrons (partially visible).

Guidons raised in preparation to "present arms."
M109 Self-propelled 155mm Howitzers of 1st Squadron's Howitzer Battery
M114 recon vehicles, M60A1 tanks and a M106 mortar carrier of one of 1st Squadron's reconnaissance troops.
Static display of M151 ¼ ton Truck, M114 Reconnaissance Vehicle, and M113 Armored Personnel Carrier at Downs Barracks (Fulda, Germany) 1964
M109 Self-propelled 155mm Howitzer on static display.
M577 Command Vehicle.  Reconnaissance and tank troops had to use M113s (see D Troop) for the same purpose.
M60A1 Tank on static display.  Note the yellow tank silhouette on the turret (behind the girls on the fender); this indicates the crew qualified in the Tank Crew Qualification Course.

It should be noted that the M60A1 tank represented a great leap forward as it was the first tank that had a seat allowing the tank commander to sit while still having his head outside the turret.
