10th Recon appeared and disappears, and re-appeared in the course of the Division's history.  Sometimes (incorrectly) called 10th Cav., the 10th Mountain Mounted Reconnaissance Troup was reportedly made up of men from the Mountain Training Command who wanted to deploy with the Division, and this was where they were assigned en mass.  In Texas, they were trained in mounted operations, and apparently operated on horseback in Italy from time to time.  Pretty good for a bunch of ski instructors and climbing instructors!   If anyone can verify or deny this, please let us know, and we will add to the lore of 10th Recon.
