About Us
Proudly serving the world for over 30 years, U.S. Cavalry is your single source
for the finest military,
law enforcement and homeland security
equipment along with counterterrorism training
and discussion.
Humble Beginnings
Our first retail store outside Ft. Knox, Kentucky, was the first military
supplier to focus on outfitting the individual soldier. Surplus stores were
just about everywhere, but only U.S. Cavalry focused on new equipment and
customized services. We featured on-site computerized embroidery in an era when
even many banks were not yet computerized.
That first store was quickly followed by mail order catalogs to serve our customers as they were deployed around the
globe. Wherever our fighting men and women were stationed, our catalogs soon
followed. In fact, many of today’s U.S. Cavalry staff have fond childhood
memories of perusing the kiddie t-shirts, ceremonial sabers and scale-model
kits featured in our early editions.
New Services
As our customers prospered and rose in rank, they began to look to U.S. Cavalry
to outfit their organizations. The growth of this segment prompted our recent
adoption of Managed Accounts. These accounts streamline purchasing for large groups by
designating an Account Manager to serve each client. Managed Accounts allow our
group customers to work with the same Account Manager, who understands their
unique needs, every time.
Similarly,
we set upon a quest to earn a General Services
Administration Contract to ease the procurement process for our
customers at GSA-authorized federal, military and state agencies. The GSA
Contract allows these customers to ensure they pay a fair, predetermined price
for the equipment they need.
To further assist our customers in countering these unique threats, U.S.
Cavalry’s TEAL Team provides tactical training courses for
groups to enhance the effectiveness of our first line defenders. Also
recognizing that the average citizen could benefit from such skills we
partnered with Gunsite to facilitate individual
training.
Finally, the rapid evolution of non-state combat forced
us to recognize a gap in existing information pipelines. While there were many
platforms to accommodate inter-agency communications, there was no central
portal for the exchange of ideas between boots on the ground overseas and
homeland defenders. This led us to develop OnPoint,
the Online CounterTerrorism portal, to help our military and law enforcement
leadership learn from one another.
Expanded Customers, Narrow Focus
Since the first soldiers turned to us 30 years ago, our horizons have expanded,
yet our focus remains on outfitting the individuals who defend our liberties at
home and abroad. We owe our existence to you and remain dedicated to supporting
your efforts. From everyday gear to information, training and specialized
equipment - fulfilling your unique needs continues to be the reason we are in
business.
If we can improve our services in any way, or if we are not providing the
equipment you seek, please let us know. After all, you are the reason we are here.
Last, but certainly not least, we often come across organizations
who valiantly aid many of our own customers. Please help support our troops and
public safety personnel by supporting their causes.
