ROSS BERKOFF wrote on February 14, 2005 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: 3-71 CAV SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: ARMY VETERAN Comments: The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Squadrons of the new 71st Cavalry Regiment has stood up at Ft Drum NY. The squadrons activated in September 2004 and since then have been preparing for future deployments. As the S1/Adjutant for 3-71 Cavalry, I've been entrenched in the personnel construction over the past several months. We are now almost fully manned and getting ready to deploy. We trace our military lineage back to Charlie Recon Troop, of the 701st Tank Destroyer BN. I would be interested in hearing from veterans of this distinguished unit. Keywords: UPDATE

ROSS BERKOFF wrote on August 12, 2004 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: It is very exciting to report that three squadrons of the 71st Cavalry will be reactivating in August/September 2004 at Ft Drum with the 10th Mountain Div. I will be working as the adjutant for 3-71 Cav RSTA (Recon, Surveillance, Target Aquisition). Its been fifty some odd years since the 71st saw action in Korea and today we are mustering the old unit once again. I would love to hear some stories from some of the vets to pass on to our unit historian. Be in touch, Cav out Front, LT BERKOFF Keywords:
