La 1st Cavalry Division — Prima Divisione di Cavalleria — (nota anche come First Team, cioè "Prima Squadra" o 1CD) è uno dei reparti più famosi e più decorati dello United States Army.^[2]

Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, ed oltre a tale conflitto, l'unità è stata significativamente impegnata in Corea, Guerra del Vietnam, Prima e Seconda guerra del Golfo.

Attualmente, è una divisione pesante corazzata con base a Fort Hood, Texas. È una delle più grandi divisioni americane con oltre 16 000 effettivi ripartiti in quattro brigate da combattimento ed unità logistiche. Nel periodo della Guerra del Vietnam venne equipaggiata con un gran numero di elicotteri e trasformata in divisione di cavalleria aeromobile, svolgendo un ruolo centrale nella strategia operativa adottata dal generale William Westmoreland.

Oggi è subordinata al III Corps^[3] ed è comandata dal maggior generale Daniel P. Bolger.^[4]
