The United States Army's 22nd Cavalry Division, part of the National Guard, was created because of the perceived need for additional cavalry units after World War I. It numbered in succession after the Regular Army divisions, which were not all active at its creation. Going into World War II, the Army's Cavalry branch contained three Regular, four National Guard, and six Organized Reserve cavalry divisions, as well as one separate cavalry brigade (the 56th, part of the Texas National Guard).
