Official Cav Scouts Out Patch - U.S. Army Cavalry Scout MOS 19D Armored Reconnaissance Specialist Embroidered Patch honoring the Scouts Out tradition and cavalry heritage.
Eyes forward, enemy found, mission reported — the Cavalry Scout creed stitched into a single embroidered piece.
The Cavalry Scout, designated MOS 19D Armored Reconnaissance Specialist, is one of the most demanding combat arms roles in the United States Army and carries a lineage that stretches from horse cavalry through mechanized warfare to today's armored and Stryker brigade combat teams. Scouts operate ahead of the main force, collecting intelligence on enemy positions, terrain, and weather so commanders can make informed decisions — earning the enduring title of the eyes and ears of the Army. Depending on assignment, a 19D crews the M3 Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicle, the M1127 Stryker Reconnaissance Vehicle, or a HMMWV, and routinely works outside friendly lines in observation posts, mounted patrols, and dismounted reconnaissance. The call Scouts Out is more than a motto; it is the signal that sends the most forward element of the force into unknown ground first. Cavalry Scouts take deep pride in their traditions, earning their spurs and wearing the black Stetson as marks of a community built on trust, discipline, and the willingness to go where others have not yet been. Their units are tightly woven, built on mutual dependence across every rank, because the mission demands nothing less. This embroidered patch captures that identity in a format suited to shadow boxes, patrol bags, veteran displays, and unit collections.
Perfect For: U.S. Army Cavalry Scout veterans, active-duty 19D troopers, armored and Stryker brigade combat team alumni, cavalry squadron members, Order of the Spur recipients, reconnaissance community collectors, military history enthusiasts, family members of deployed scouts, reunion displays, shadow box builds, and anyone preserving the heritage of Army reconnaissance from horse cavalry through modern armored operations.
Scouts Out — the first ones forward, the last ones forgotten.
