Phil, I have also done some reading into the 2 Cav history, but there's really not much there as to where they trained. I checked the Carolina Maneuvers of 41 and don't find the 2AC there. In that time frame they would have been running M-1 Combat Cars, M-2A4 tanks and early M-3 Stuarts and many M-3 Scout cars. The 2 AC served in ETO and PTO but after the war they became Constabulary units for border patrol. One unit was on the Fulda border in Germany and were known as the Circle C Cowboys. The insignia was a circle with a C in the middle. They used M-8 armored cars and M-24 Chafees with a tank company of Shemans in Delta Troop. The 14th AC took over in the late 50's-early 60's and went from M-47s to M-48A2s then eventually M-60s in 1962. All those Kasernes are now de-milled and are civilian housing units.
