The 23rd Cavalry Division was a cavalry formation of the United States Army National Guard during the interwar period.
It was created in the early 1920s due to the perceived need for additional cavalry units along with three other National Guard cavalry divisions, but its headquarters was not activated until 1939 as a result of funding shortages.
