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.

We proudly continue to offer in-person shopping (and custom embroidery) through our retail stores. Our Authorized Dealers have helped expand this presence nationally, and the program helps independent retailers stand strong in this era of corporate conglomerates. We began as a “Mom & Pop” shop and we still believe in the power of one store to improve customers’ lives, one at a time.

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.

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.
