5th Cavalry Regiment

The 5th Cavalry Regiment ("Black Knights"〔) is a historical unit of the United States Army that began its service in the decade prior to the American Civil War and continues in modified organizational format in the U.S. Army.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= History of the 2nd BN, 5th Cavalry Regiment )
==Coat of Arms==
The Coat of Arms consists of a shield, on which there is drawn across the center a partition with five battlements, suggestive of a Spanish castle, and representing the numerical designation of the Regiment. The portion of the shield below the line is colored yellow, symbolizing the Regiment’s arm of service, the Cavalry.
The upper portion of the Coat of Arms consists of a bundle of five arrows tied together with a rattlesnake skin having five rattles; this is a Native American symbol of war. The arrows commemorate the five major Indian Campaigns in which the Regiment was engaged. The first arrow designates the campaign against the Comanches fought 1856-1860; the second represents the defeat of the Cheyennes under Tall Bull in 1869-1871; the third symbolizes the fight against the Apaches in 1872-1874; the fourth arrow was won fighting against the Sioux and Northern Cheyenne led by Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull; and the fifth and final arrow represents the campaign against the Utes of Colorado in 1879.
The black cross on the yellow portion of the shield was won during the Civil War. This cross, known as the “Cross Moline,” represents the famous charge by the Regiment at Gaines’ Mill, Virginia on 27 June 1862. The word “Moline” comes from the French word “Moulin” for mill. The split ends of the cross represent the iron pieces of a millstone.
The upper portion of the shield consists of a white Maltese Cross on a black field. This is symbolic of the service of the Regiment in Puerto Rico from November 1898 to 1900. Puerto Rico was originally known as San Juan, named for the Knights of St. John, who wore a black habit with a white Maltese Cross. It is from this derivation that the Soldiers of the 5th Cavalry became known as the Black Knights.
In 1923, the War Department draped the shield with a yellow ribbon bearing the motto “Loyalty and Courage” thereby honoring the Coat of Arms with its official approval.
